Supervisor of Post-Doctoral researchers on Cultural Studies.PACC Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.FURJ and Coordinator of the Center for Transdisciplinary Studies on Communication and Consciousness.ECO.FURJ To my beloved father, Fernando Nunes Ouriques “With increasing frequency, people and groups interested in peace and in ‘non-violence’ have dedicated themselves to examining with feelings and intuition situations in which it would have been better to apply in a vigorous manner the intellect. The lack of intellectual rigor not only leads to faulty results, but helps to lead to the discrediting of efforts to consider and transform alternative policies into non-violent alternatives.” (Sharp, 2003:18) “...if there is sufficient nonviolence developed in any single person, he should be able to discover the means of combating violence, no matter how wide-spread or severe, within his jurisdiction. I have, repeatedly admitted my imperfections. I am no example of perfect ahimsa. I am evolving.” 2 (Gandhi, 1938) in Pim, Jóam Evans (2013). Nonkilling Media. Center for Global Nonkilling.
