There’s a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value—instead of what others are telling you to value? This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that’s a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don’t value everything.

This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect opponents. Now, those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. And yet, rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will hold important government positions, fight constitutional lawsuits, and advise Fortune 500 companies. In Lawless, Ilya Shapiro explains how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty—it’s institutional weakness.

Identidade e subjetividade são conceitos amplos, com implicações ainda mais extensas sobre a vida concreta - sobretudo num momento em que tais conceitos são questionados ou reelaborados sob lentes políticas e ideológicas. O curso parte destas ideias para tratar, com base na teoria psicanalítica, como se dá essa elaboração de uma "narrativa de si" e como ela afeta, para bem e mal, nossas relações com o mundo e os outros. O que é o desejo e como ele se constitui? De que formas esse eu se fortalece ou enfraquece? Essas e outras provocações serão abordadas ao longo deste curso.

O que define nossa concepção atual a respeito de um funcionamento mental desejável e socialmente aceitável? A que chamamos de "normal" (e será "normal" uma existência sem nenhuma "loucura")? O que é um "transtorno mental" (mental disorder)? O curso faz um diálogo entre psiquiatria, psicanálise e história da cultura para traçar um histórico dessa relação entre "loucura" e "normalidade", por vezes difusa e contraditória. Entre a idealização romântica e um certo higienismo médico...

O período da infância e adolescência são cenário de elementos, afetos e transformações que definem e influenciam a formação da subjetividade deste ser em elaboração. Para além disso, há todo o processo de socialização e educação que também exercerá pressão sobre gostos, inclinações, expectativas - seja daqueles ao redor sobre a criança ou adolescente, seja dele sobre si mesmo.

Historicamente e no senso comum, a mente e o corpo são vistos como entidades distintas, fazendo parecer que a vida mental e a vida do corpo possuem diferentes dinâmicas de funcionamento. Essa visão traz grandes consequências para como enxergamos o ser humano. Acredita-se, por exemplo, que preencher palavras cruzadas previne Alzheimer, ou que depressão é um problema estritamente psicológico.

"Recordar, Repetir e Elaborar" é o título de um texto de Freud, publicado em 1914, que trata destes três tempos essenciais da análise. Cem anos depois, como se dão estes processos frente às ambivalências do mundo contemporâneo? As experiências da memória, da ressignificação e da capacidade de sonhar (literal e metaforicamente) serão os temas desse curso, com reflexões provocadas por um dos textos seminais da psicanálise. Que tipo de futuro ou de projeto de vida são possíveis de serem construídos quando as próprias estruturas de suas fundações se encontram em xeque?
