Book Description
Traffic codes and highways exist as powerful tools of measurement and coding by the State that attempt to regulate and control the mobility of bodies through space. In Brazil, these measures and codes function according to capitalist hierarchies of commodities, social practices of exclusion that severely debilitate the mobility of all but a few, and the colonial histories upon which these were constructed. This thesis examines such processes at work in the use of motorcycles as a form of transport for low and low-middle income social groups in an urban setting in the Northeast of Brazil. The simplistic categorization of motorcycles as dangerous, a hackneyed explanation for the high number of accidents and fatalities involving motorcycles in Brazil, reveals exclusion and colonial power at work. This thesis aims to explore the presumption and inscription of motorcycles and their riders as inherently dangerous or threatening actors in order to answer the deceptively simple question: why are motorcycles considered hazardous?

Book Description
On the way to Atacama, a motorcycle trip to the driest desert in the world is the narrative of a motorcycle trip that the motorcyclist Rômulo Provetti made from Belo Horizonte to the Atacama Desert in Chile, crossing the North of Argentina, climbing the Cordillera of the Andes and discovering some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. It took 24 days on the road to cover just over 10,500 km, meet and make many friends and learn that the person who returns home after a long motorcycle trip is not the same person who left. "It's time to organize the saddlebags, calibrate the tires, check the oil, fill the tank and follow the front wheel of the bike in search of new landscapes, knowing that family and friends will always be on our back, accompanying and supporting our dreams come true. When we return, we will have many stories to tell, photos and films to show and inspire others with an adventurous spirit to pursue their dreams." With hundreds of beautiful and impressive photos that illustrate the text as the events take place, A Caminho do Atacama has light, direct and simple writing and makes the reader travel on the back of a motorcycle. The book also contains the roadmap, tips, information and a method for planning a motorcycle trip.
