The Defence of Tradition in Brazilian Popular Music
Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...
A Inquisição contra as mulheres
During the 17th century, a strong community of New Christians was established in Rio de Janeiro. They had fled from the northern part of Brazil to escape from the Portuguese Inquisition. However, in the first half of the 18th century, the Inquisition in Rio de Janeiro arrested 320 New Christians, among them 167 women, who were all sent to Lisbon. They were tried for heresy and for having observed Jewish practices in secret. Most of them were sentenced to prison, their property was expropriated, and they were required to carry out penitentiary acts for the rest of their lives. Describes the social and cultural background of New Christian women in Rio de Janeiro and the procedures of the Inquisition. Concludes that these women were victims of the totalitarian, racist, and antisemitic ideology and policy of the Church. Notes that in the eyes of the Inquisition a Jew was always a Jew, suspected of heresy even after reconciliation. Pp. 423-457 present a list of names of the 167 women, with biographical information.

Da Filosofia Chinesa antiga em contraste com a Ocidental, somos conduzidos à Filosofia Política e Economia contemporâneas, bem como a algumas imagens que hoje temos da China no Ocidente.

A obra não se destina em exclusivo a leitores especializados, pois conta com uma introdução pormenorizada à língua chinesa, tabelas cronológicas relativas à história e filosofia chinesas, abundantes notas explicativas e uma longa lista bibliográfica com sugestões de leitura complementar.

A compelling account of the role of Fado and the fadista in Portuguese film and the wider culture. Colvin studies the evolution of Fado music as the soundtrack to the Portuguese talkie.
