Miles Christi Fortissimus Rex Fernandus
Fernando III (1217-1252) é lembrado historicamente como um rei santo e como o maior reconquistador da Península Ibérica medieval. Nascido de um casamento considerado ilegítimo pela Igreja, o monarca precisou desenvolver estratégias políticas e culturais para legitimar seu poder ao longo de seu reinado. Este livro investiga o processo de legitimação do poder de Fernando III a partir da análise das ideologias e representações desenvolvidas pelo chanceler do reino de Castela, Juan de Osma, na Crônica Latina dos Reis de Castela. Como base teórica para a análise da legitimação do poder real de Fernando III, utilizamos a Nova História Cultural (NHC). Para isso, utilizamo-nos dos t...
DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO PÓS-PANDEMIA
A pandemia da covid-19 trouxe para a sociedade um sem-número de transformações na forma de pensar e sobreviver a dias tão duros jamais vistos em níveis globais. A educação, como fenômeno social, não passou despercebida por essas transformações. Elas influenciaram e modificaram também o espaço escolar. A sala de aula tradicional passou por uma transformação geográfica, deixando o espaço escolar para ocupar salas, quartos, cozinhas ou banheiros nas casas ao redor do mundo. A lousa se tornou algo privado e tecnológico, com cada indivíduo usando seu celular, tablet, notebook, computador e outros dispositivos tecnológicos. Os professores foram obrigados a se distanciar fisicamente, mas ao mesmo tempo, se aproximar emocionalmente, adentrando nas casas dos alunos. O conceito de distância e presencialidade adquiriu novos significados teóricos. Para além de valorar essas mudanças, essa obra busca compreendê-las e trazer subsídios para que o leitor chegue às suas próprias conclusões quando o assunto é prática pedagógica em tempos de pandemia.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

Trout Belly Up
In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, and the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time and again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, and the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, and fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie. Told with precision and a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
