Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction
Although Brazil is the largest Afro-descendant country outside of Africa, the literature produced by Black Brazilians is mostly unknown both in Brazil and abroad. There is a growing worldwide demand for Afro-descendant literature and a demand for decolonial practices and content, especially within Lusophone literature and literature across the Americas. Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction emerges from a UCL-sponsored collaborative translation project, bridging Afro-Brazilian literature with a global audience to respond to the worldwide call for Afro-diasporic narratives. This unique compilation of 21 short stories includes both established and emerging Afro-Brazilian voices. The anthol...

The Art of Cultural Exchange
Can cultural exchange be understood as a mutual act of translation? Or are elements of a country’s cultural identity inevitably lost in the act of exchange? Brazil and Great Britain, although unlikely collaborators, have shared an artistic dialogue that can be traced back some 500 years. This publication, arising from the namesake research project funded by the United Kingdom’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, seeks to understand and raise awareness of the present practices of cultural exchange between Brazil and Great Britain in relation to their historical legacy. Presenting five case studies and eight position papers, this research-based project investigates how artists interpret...
The Hypercontemporary Novel in Portugal
The first volume of critical essays on the contemporary Portuguese novel in English, this book theorizes the concept of the 'hypercontemporary' as a way of reading the novel after its postmodern period. This inquiry into the notion of the hypercontemporary in its literary and cultural articulations analyzes a varied group of works representative of the most vibrant novels published in Portugal since 2000. The editors' introductory chapter theorizes the concept of the hypercontemporary as one way of looking at the novel after its postmodern period – especially in its relation to questions of violence, memory and performativity. These essays show how the Portuguese novel has evolved in the p...
Um rio preso nas mãos
As crônicas da angolana Ana Paula Tavares, marcadas por uma escrita profundamente poética e incisiva, foram originalmente publicadas de forma esparsa no jornal online Rede Angola. São agora, pela primeira vez, reunidas em livro e publicadas em forma de coletânea pela Editora Kapulana, com o título de Um rio preso nas mãos. As 38 crônicas que compõem o livro viajam por diferentes assuntos e narrativas, deslizando entre a autobiografia e a escrita ficcional, a crítica sociopolítica e as mitologias africanas, a oralidade e a escrita, o passado e o presente - sobretudo do povo de Angola e de suas mulheres. Por meio do desenho de numerosas paisagens e pessoas, a obra transporta o leitor para uma escrita ao mesmo tempo universal, feminina e africana, mostrando que é possível banhar-se nas mais diversas águas dentro de um mesmo rio.

Essays on Paula Rego
In these powerful and stylishly written essays, Maria Manuel Lisboa dissects the work of Paula Rego, the Portuguese-born artist considered one of the greatest artists of modern times. Focusing primarily on Rego's work since the 1980s, Lisboa explores the complex relationships between violence and nurturing, power and impotence, politics and the family that run through Rego's art. Taking a historicist approach to the evolution of the artist's work, Lisboa embeds the works within Rego's personal history as well as Portugal's (and indeed other nations') stories, and reveals the interrelationship between political significance and the raw emotion that lies at the heart of Rego's uncompromising i...
Branquitude
Território do silêncio, da negação, de uma suposta neutralidade, do medo e do privilégio, a branquitude é, ao mesmo tempo, o lado menos explícito do racismo e o principal fator responsável por sua legitimação, manutenção e afirmação. Compreender e enfrentar os efeitos econômicos, culturais, sociais, jurídicos e da produção de subjetividades a partir de um olhar crítico sobre a branquitude é o intuito deste livro. As conversas aqui presentes são resultado do encontro de alguns dos principais pesquisadores, estudiosos e expoentes do pensamento sobre o tema, e foram promovidas pelo Instituto Ibirapitanga, em 2020, no seminário "Branquitude: racismo e antirracismo", em cocu...
