Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture
With a focus on the object and where it is situated, in time (memory) and space (mobility), Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture embodies a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach. The chapters track the movement of the objects and their owner(s), within and between continents, countries, cities, and families. Objects have always been considered with an eye to their worth – economic, aesthetic, and/or functional. If that worth is diminished, their meaning and value disappear, they are just things. Yet things can still fulfil functions in our daily lives; they hold symbolic potential, from personal memory triggers, to focal points of public ritual and religion; from collectors...

Public Pages
Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas. The first international study of contemporary print culture in the Americas, Public Pages reveals how recent cultural policy and collective literary reading intervene in public space to promote social int...
Comparative Print Culture
Drawing on comparative literary studies, postcolonial book history, and multiple, literary, and alternative modernities, this collection approaches the study of alternative literary modernities from the perspective ofcomparative print culture. The term comparative print culture designates a wide range of scholarly practices that discover, examine, document, and/or historicize various printed materials and their reproduction, circulation, and uses across genres, languages, media, and technologies, all within a comparative orientation. This book explores alternative literary modernities mostly by highlighting the distinct ways in which literary and cultural print modernities outside Europe evince the repurposing of European systems and cultures of print and further deconstruct their perceived universality.
Diffracting New Materialisms
This edited book considers the vital position of artistic research in the landscapes and ecosystems of new materialism(s) and post-humanism(s), in and for higher education. The book aims to satisfy an urgent desire for change in the ways we link artistic and critical research practices, asking what new ways of thinking and creating for twenty-first century artistic and educational contexts we need in order to address the kinds of global complexities we face. Organised around five key themes including fictioning, reading, embodying, inhabiting and folding, the book acts as an entry point for academics, artists and scholar-practitioners to participate in the shaping of new forms of artistic research and practice that are relevant, participatory, and that urgently address the kinds of complex issues emergent in our twenty-first century context. In doing so, the book makes a key contribution to the development of emerging inter- and transdisciplinary artistic research practices across a range of fields, responding to the question - what kinds of research and practice worlds do we wish to create in times of urgency, crisis and complexity?
Uma esposa à sua medida
Conseguiria provar-lhe que estava à altura dele... Antonia era uma jovem com muitos planos e, nesses planos, lorde Philip Ruthven tinha um papel muito importante. Ainda que já não visse o seu velho amigo de infância há muitos anos, sabia que a Philip não teriam faltado muitas acompanhantes femininas. Contudo, não se casara e estava na hora de o fazer. Se conseguisse mostrar-lhe que era capaz de administrar a sua casa e de não o deixar ficar mal em público, Antonia tinha a certeza de que lhe proporia um acordo favorável e prático para ambos. O que não previra fora que os seus corações também fizessem parte do acordo...

O filho do marquês
Não tinha outra alternativa a não ser casar-se com o pai do seu filho... Assim que ficou a saber que tinha um filho, Alessandro Valessi decidiu arranjar uma forma de voltar a fazer parte da vida de Polly Fairfax. Todavia, ela tinha escolhido ser mãe solteira e a última coisa de que precisava era do pai do seu filho, sobretudo depois do arrogante italiano lhe ter feito tanto mal... Contudo, Alessandro não lhe deu outra opção e estava disposto a lutar pela custódia do menino. A menos, claro, que Polly concordasse casar-se com ele.
Bella Donna
Nos tempos da velha República dos Doges venezianos, Antonia, uma viúva aristocrata, decide passar o resto dos seus dias num convento da ilha de Murano, após a morte do seu marido. Ali encontra Elena, uma freira conversa, por quem se enamora, apesar da censura da abadessa . Um dia, Elena aparece misteriosamente doente, deixando Antonia angustiada. Terão estas mulheres que viveram nos conventos venezianos do período renascentista existido realmente? Terão sofrido como estas sofreram? Terão amado como estas se amaram? Será que esta estória é, na verdade, uma parte da História? Talvez. Bella Donna é um romance histórico de amor entre duas mulheres que consegue escapar ao lugar-comum das paixões inflamadas, embalando-nos, com a sua escrita escorreita, para uma leitura compulsiva de um enredo quase policial, muito bem arquitectado e com um desfecho inesperado.
