Responsibility and Cultures of the World
This book brings together eleven contributions by authors from all parts of the world who have examined the notion of responsibility in their respective countries. In the first part Edith Sizoo presents a comparative analysis of those texts which reflect a rich variety of worldviews and traditions: harmony with the earth and relational ethics in the Maori culture of New Zealand, juridical approach in France, responsibility in Confucian thinking in China, individualism in the face of collective duty in the United States, duty and responsibility on the shores of the Congo, responsibility in Arab Islamic culture, encountering the sense of responsibility in Germany... This book thus presents an intercultural vision of responsibility that is all the more interesting because the final texts are the outcome of an intense dialogue between the authors. This exchange enhanced a more explicit expression of their respective points of view, thus making these more accessible to people from other cultural backgrounds.

Lupicínio
Em Lupicínio: uma biografia musical, Arthur de Faria mergulha em boas histórias que percorrem a vida do compositor: a infância no bairro da Ilhota, em Porto Alegre, a rotina boêmia e doméstica de Lupi, encontros memoráveis com Elis Regina, Elza Soares, João Gilberto e Caetano Veloso, e os bastidores de composições como "Se acaso você chegasse", "Nervos de aço", "Vingança" e "Cadeira vazia". A trajetória de Lupicínio Rodrigues, um compositor negro de classe média-baixa no sul do Brasil, é contada no contexto da censura na Era Vargas, do nascimento do samba e da música regional. Em marcos de celebração e esquecimento, a vida e a obra de Lupi se entrelaçam entre os depoimentos de parceiros musicais, amigos e familiares e as análises cuidadosas do autor sobre a genialidade das letras e melodias desse gigante da música popular brasileira.
Handbook on International Development and the Environment
Fifty years after the Stockholm Conference first placed the environment on the international development agenda, this Handbook continues the debate. Not only does it discuss the profound environmental and theoretical critique against ‘development’ as modernization and economic growth, but also how perspectives on nature have changed from an infinite resource to a fragile subject.

Babylon - Mallorca
Die Studie unternimmt am Beispiel des deutschsprachigen Exilromans zur Zeit des ‚Dritten Reichs‘ den Versuch, die Ästhetik des Komischen als Teil einer modernen Exilpoetik zu etablieren. Sie berücksichtigt dabei das gesamte Spektrum komischer Schreibformen von der Satire über den Humor bis hin zum Grotesken, zum Pikaresken und zum Witz. In drei historisch-systematischen Grundlagenkapiteln und drei Fallstudien zu Alfred Döblin, Veza Canetti und Albert Vigoleis Thelen erfolgt die Analyse der Funktionen, Potentiale und Grenzen dieser komisierenden Erzählverfahren. Der Band versteht sich als Beitrag zur Rehabilitierung der komischen Dimension der Exilliteratur bzw. überhaupt erst zur Kenntlichmachung des Komischen als ernstzunehmender Schreibstrategie im Exil.
Literary Censorship in Francisco Franco's Spain and Getulio Vargas' Brazil, 1936-1945
This book presents two systems of censorship and literary promotion, revealing how literature can be molded to support authoritarian regimes. The issue is complex in that at a descriptive level the strategies and methods new states use to control communication through the written word can be judged by how and when formal decrees were issued, and how publishing media, whether in the form of publishing companies or at the individual level, engaged with political overseers. But equally, literature was a means of resistance against an authoritarian regime, not only for writers but for readers as well. From the point of view of historical memory and intellectual history, stories of people without...
Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader: The years 1914-1960
Journalist and spectacularly successful governor, Carlos Lacerda was Brazil's foremost orator in this century and its most controversial politician. He might have become president in the 1960s had not the military taken over. In the first volume, John F. W. Dulles paints a portrait of a rebellious youth, who had the willfulness of his prominent father and who crusaded for Communism before becoming its most outspoken foe. Recalling Lacerda's rallying cry, Brazil must be shaken up, Dulles traces the career of the journalist whose unsparing attacks on the men in power led authorities to imprison him and employ thugs who pummeled him physically. Lacerda's spirited oratory helped him become Brazil's most popular congressman, but it scared the rulers of Brazil, who prohibited the broadcast of his speeches after he returned from exile in 1956. Their effort to deprive him of his mandate stirred the entire nation and culminated in one of the most dramatic sessions ever held in the Chamber of Deputies.
