Framing Classical Reception Studies
Framing Classical Reception Studies contains a representative number of analytic and synthetic contributions by scholars from diverse parts of the field of Classical Reception Studies. Together, they afford a synoptic view and typology of an extremely large and continuously diversifying discipline. Attentive to questions such as what, by whom, in what contexts and to what ends Classics have functioned and are functioning in our culture, all contributors ask themselves from what conceptual or disciplinary frame they approach the reception of the cultures of classical Greek and Roman antiquity. Within this questioning format, the book also contains suggestions for future agendas of research, and forcefully argues for the political, cultural and cognitive relevance of classical receptions in the Academy.
Bossa Nova
Bossa nova is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Songs such as “The Girl from Ipanema” (the fifth most frequently played song in the world), “The Waters of March,” and “Desafinado” are known around the world. Bossa Nova—a number-one bestseller when originally published in Brazil as Chega de Saudade—is a definitive history of this seductive music. Based on extensive interviews with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jo+o Gilberto, and all the major musicians and their friends, Bossa Nova explains how a handful of Rio de Janeiro teenagers changed the face of popular culture around the world. Now, in this outstanding translation, the full flavor of Ruy Castro’s wisecracking, chatty Portuguese comes through in a feast of detail. Along the way he introduces a cast of unforgettable characters who turned Gilberto’s singular vision into the sound of a generation.
The Classical Tradition in Portuguese and Brazilian Poetry
This book includes 21 chapters dedicated to the study of contemporary, Portuguese and Brazilian poets influenced by the Greco-Roman tradition. It integrates the international bibliography on reception studies in an Ibero-American context. However, the comparison between poets from the two countries highlights the cultural community that, despite the differences, unites them. Travels, routes, and adventures, taken in a linear or symbolic sense, are the common trace of all contributions. The variety of tastes, the greater or smaller closeness to the ancient models, and the authors’ preferences contribute to an overall view of the classical imprint on contemporary poetry as a specific area of literature.
Bioética como espaço de resolução de conflitos étnicos e sociais
A obra intitulada Bioética como espaço de resolução de conflitos étnicos e sociais reúne esforços de bioeticistas e pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais com o propósito de analisar como a bioética, enquanto ciência interdisciplinar, representa um espaço privilegiado de compreensão, enfrentamento e resolução de conflitos em torno das questões étnicas e sociais. Trata-se, desse modo, de trazer ao debate realidades invisibilizas de nossas sociedades, como as questões de igualdade de gênero, discriminação, racismo, xenofobia, diversidade cultural, religiosa, tanto em sua dimensão individual, como coletiva e institucional.O olhar diferenciado da bioética, as posições claras e corajosas dos autores em relação aos temas, o diálogo com os pensadores da tradição bioética, faz com que essa obra renove os ideais e propósitos dos pioneiros da bioética, mantendo vivos os desejos de se viver em sociedades mais justas, inclusivas e respeitosas para todos os cidadãos. É a bioética em seu compromisso como ética aplicada, e como ética implicada na realidade.
