Papeis de prosa
O leitor deste volume certamente concordará com João Cabral, que admirava a produção poética e crítica de Antonio Carlos Secchin. "Papéis de prosa" reúne discursos acadêmicos, entrevistas, uma reflexão sobre a língua portuguesa e ensaios sobre a literatura brasileira, com destaque à obra de Machado de Assis. As análises percorrem os meandros de cada texto em busca de novas relações simbólicas. Em seu conjunto, são recortes pensados e elaborados por um olhar agudo, e escritos com senso plástico e concisão: faca só lâmina. Para o deleite do leitor, a minuciosa mirada analítica de Secchin é movida por um sopro lírico, tornando esses ensaios uma prosa também poética. Milton Hatoum

A Master on the Periphery of Capitalism
A Master on the Periphery of Capitalism is a translation (from the original Portuguese) of Roberto Schwarz’s renowned study of the work of Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis (1839–1908). A leading Brazilian theorist and author of the highly influential notion of “misplaced ideas,” Schwarz focuses his literary and cultural analysis on Machado’s The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, which was published in 1880. Writing in the Marxist tradition, Schwarz investigates in particular how social structure gets internalized as literary form, arguing that Machado’s style replicates and reveals the deeply embedded class divisions of nineteenth-century Brazil. Widely acknowledged as the mo...
Language, Culture and Literature in Telecollaboration Contexts
This book describes and analyses experiences of teaching and learning language, culture and literature based on telecollaboration, an approach that creates interactions between groups of learners from different countries through the integration of a series of virtual and intercultural collaborative tasks to the curricula of undergraduate and graduate courses. The experiences analyzed in this volume come from two telecollaborative projects developed by the São Paulo State University (UNESP), in Brazil, with universities from other countries: the Brazilian Virtual Exchange (BRaVE) Program and the Teletandem Brasil Project. The BRaVE Program aims at fostering an online collaborative learning m...
Short Stories, Knowledge and the Supernatural
This book proposes a comparative approach to the supernatural short stories of Machado de Assis, Henry James and Guy de Maupassant. It offers an alternative to predominantly novel-centric and Anglo-centric perspectives on literary pre-modernism by investigating a transnational and multilingual connection between genre, theme and theory, i.e., between the modern short story, the supernatural and the problem of knowledge. Incorporating a close analysis of the literary texts into a discussion of their historical context, the book argues that Machado, James and Maupassant explore and reinvent the supernatural short story as a metafictional genre. This modernized and innovative form allows them to challenge the dichotomies and conventions of realist and supernatural fiction, inviting their past and present readers to question common assumptions on reality and literary representation.

Poetry and the Realm of the Public Intellectual
The volume explores how these three writers used poetry to oppose patriarchal discourse on topics ranging from marginalized peoples to issues on gender and sexuality. Poetry was a means for them to redefine their own feminized space, however difficult or odd it could turn out to be.
Papeis de poesia
Sorte do leitor que tem em mãos este livro. "Papéis de poesia II" proporciona momentos de deslumbramento ao percorrer as veredas da poesia, mapeadas pelas sábias e sensíveis mãos do autor. O título já antecipa seu assunto: a poesia. A propósito, Antonio Carlos Secchin compartilha com seus leitores variadas maneiras de ler, de discutir e – até! – de escrever poesia. Devassa bastidores de alguns de seus poemas, apresenta o percurso de suas leituras de poemas alheios e não hesita em discutir aspectos gerais da poesia. Em tudo e por tudo isso, propõe um belo passeio pelo território da poesia que, como diz Secchin, é "linguagem descompromissada com o caráter utilitário da palavra". Marisa Lajolo
