This exhibition presents new insights into these artists' visual deconstructions of language and examines the connections and collisions among visual art, the word and the social world.
Not everybody can find a meaning for life in the middle of a moment of unimaginable pain. But Roseli Tardelli did. In the death of her HIV-infected brother, Sérgio, she found a cause worth fighting for. But a glance at Agência AIDS suffices to see all the work that has been done to bring more rights of the HIV-infected and promote information about AIDS to the population. The path is tortuous, the hurdles are enormous and countless, but Roseli and her team of collaborators manage to channel such powerful energy that barriers are crossed nearly every day. With this publication, Senac São Paulo presents more than a story about a fight, it also brings up relevant discussions and information – through the glossary and the timeline – for the reader to reflect upon the journey of the disease in Brazil and in the world and, at the same time, it pays tribute to the people who fight for a more humane treatment of those infected with HIV.
These are the stories of indigenous tribes of the Brazilian rainforests that are on the verge of extinction. Mindlin recorded these tales that read like a novel, and are infused with a magic realism.
The second volume of the World Encyclopedia of Contemporary Theatre covers the Americas, from Canada to Argentina, including the United States. Entries on twenty-six countries are preceded by specialist introductions on Theatre in Post-Colonial Latin America, Theatres of North America, Puppet Theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, Music Theatre and Dance Theatre. The essays follow the series format, allowing for cross-referring across subjects, both within the volume and between volumes. Each country entry is written by specialists in the particular country and the volume has its own teams of regional editors, overseen by the main editorial team based at the University of York in Canada headed by Don Rubin. Each entry covers all aspects of theatre genres, practitioners, writers, critics and styles, with bibliographies, over 200 black & white photographs and a substantial index. This is a unique volume in its own right; in conjunction with the other volumes in this series it forms a reference resource of unparalleled value.

"The catalog to accompany an exhibition by the same name which was held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (also the publisher of the catalog) in 1993. It presents, in color plates and accompanying text, abstract and conceptual art created since the mid-1950s by 18 contemporary Brazilian women."--Amazon.
This book is the first collection of critical essays on Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) published in English. It brings together a variety of perspectives on one of Latin America’s most inventive and innovative authors. Nine essays by scholars and translators reflect about various aspects of her work, placing it in the context of Brazil and world literature. During her lifetime, Hilst won several major national literary awards and attracted legions of devoted readers. Her writing spanned styles and genres, encompassing poetry, theatre, and experimental fiction. She was also considered to be “a writer’s writer,” and her literary achievements eluded both mainstream acclaim and international recognition. In recent years, Hilst’s books have enjoyed increased visibility in Brazil and beyond. A host of translators (including three contributors to this volume) have finally made some of her masterpieces available in English. This pioneering collection of essays should excite longtime readers and introduce her to a new audience.
