Both course will cover urban land policy vis-a-vis mega-event preparations in Rio de Janeiro, and will include lectures on Lefebrve's "right to the city", the 1988 Constitution, land titling, and the groundbreaking City Statute. I have the tremendous windfall of being taught by highly venerated property lawyer Edesio Fernandes, a man whose work I have admired for some time here in Brazil. So, hopefully I'll have some interesting perspectives to take away and share with you in the next few days.
Stay tuned.
Hi Micaela,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this fine blog of yours.
I've just discovered, and subscribed, to it.
I am one of eight crime writers who put out a blog we call "Murder is Everywhere".
We don't write about our books, or the craft of writing, but rather about subjects of cultural, historical and human interest that occur, or have occurred, in the countries in which our stories are set.
Mine all deal with Brazil.
My day is Monday, so if you check-in once a week on that day, you're likely to find something that will interest you.
We've been doing this for quite a while now, so there's a considerable archive,
You'll find it on the right of the home page.
Conversely you can simply scroll down to the keywords at the bottom, choose one, and click there.
You might find the posts on the War of the Triple Alliance, The Death of Percy Fawcett and American Confederates particularly interesting.
And, if you're ever lacking for subject matter, feel free to borrow anything you like.
A credit, though, would be nice.
Here's the link:

Keep up the great work!
Great! Welcome to the blog, Leighton! I'll be sure to check out your posts on Monday. Thanks again!
