Slow Movies
"In all film there is the desire to capture the motion of life, to refuse immobility," Agnes Varda has noted. But to capture the reality of human experience, cinema must fasten on stillness and inaction as much as motion. Slow Movies investigates movies by acclaimed international directors who in the past three decades have challenged mainstream cinema's reliance on motion and action. More than other realist art cinema, slow movies by Lisandro Alonso, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Pedro Costa, Jia Zhang-ke, Abbas Kiarostami, Cristian Mungiu, Alexander Sokurov, Bela Tarr, Gus Van Sant and others radically adhere to space-times in which emotion is repressed along with motion; editing and dialogue yield to stasis and contemplation; action surrenders to emptiness if not death.

One Immigrant in a World of Many
In 1959, a Communist revolution took the reins of government in Cuba. Many thousands, including author Andrea Bermúdez and members of her immediate family, sought exile in foreign lands. They felt fortunate to have chosen the United States to start life anew. In One Immigrant in a World of Many: An American Story of Survival, Bermúdez details her struggle as a political exile who left her native country and learned to adapt to her new home in the United States. This memoir offers a look at the impact the Castro Revolution had on the lives of those who chose to leave their beloved island, Cuba, revealing experiences common to many immigrants as they embark on a new journey. One Immigrant in a World of Many explores and redefines the American Dream, focusing on how survival is possible amidst the obstacles that must be overcome. Sprinkled with humor, Bermúdez discusses survival techniques as she shares her challenging, albeit captivating, world of learning to become the person she was meant to be while adapting to the cultural demands of her new homeland.
Emergências Clínicas
Esta obra foi idealizada e lapidada no seio da monitoria de Clínica Médica do Internato em Medicina de Urgência pelos vários monitores que por lá deixaram suas marcas e levaram consigo o espírito do querer mais, do investigar até a plena compreensão do caso ou da questão, enfim, sensações e sentimentos genuínos daqueles que exerceram a monitoria em sua mais bela faceta, aquela que desenvolve a autonomia e a formação integral dos alunos, que incentiva a interação discente/docente e se torna em excelente ferramenta de apoio aos graduandos matriculados na disciplina – o principal objetivo dessa experiência acadêmica que agora atinge a plenitude com sua materialização. Os m...
Da Poética do Ator
Contemplando a perspectiva de certa diversidade de poéticas, a autora situa primeiramente uma reflexão sobre o Teatro, trazendo traços da sua trajetória no Século XX, até o Pós-dramático, mostrando que é no hibridismo que o ator contemporâneo precisa se situar. Para isto, apresenta, como norte, uma ideia instrumental do que seja "poética", utilizando-me do arsenal conceitual da psicanálise lacaniana. Em um segundo momento, a reflexão se estende para o Cinema, com proposições pontuais, que se alongam para o desenvolvimento de "figuras do ator" na Linguagem Cinematográfica. Assim, a autora responde a demandas específicas da prática atoral, na medida em que a cinefilia e a pedagogia, além da prática como atriz em cinemas independentes e autorais, lhe dão subsídios. Propõe, tanto no Cinema quanto no Teatro, uma estrutura de trabalho para o ator: que este se reconheça como agente da produção poética e perceba o manejo do processo de sua construção.
AYAMONTE Y EL IMPERIO DEL ORO AZUL
El autor nos describe y detalla pormenorizadamente lo que ha sido la pesca en Ayamonte, las personas, las familias, los utensilios, los saberes, los barcos, la arquitectura, los lugares, lo que pervive, lo que ha quedado en el recuerdo. Nos hace un verdadero inventario de lo que no es más que nuestro patrimonio cultural, un acervo ligado al mar que nos ha formado como sociedad. Viene a llenar un vacío, un enorme vacío historiográfico. Y todo ello nos lo adereza con fotografías, figuras, planos, gráficos y, sobre todo, con un registro exhaustivo de las embarcaciones que durante el siglo XX estuvieron operando en Ayamonte, con datos de los despachos y mareas, de las temporadas y de los tripulantes.
