Idade da pedra

As poesias de Beatriz Azevedo, neste livro, me fazem vibrar de entusiasmo e de incrível deleite de prazer (...). Seus poemas são assim uma graça infinita, um prazer de ler, ironias, charmes, brincadeiras, trocadilhos, beleza, intensidade, e mais uma vez, selvagem sensualidade pagã. Ela vai fundo na essência do ser, mas sem nunca perder as perfeições da forma.” Jorge Mautner

Brazil, Lyric, and the Americas

"This is Perrone at his most brilliant.

Villa-Lobos and Modernism

Villa-Lobos and Modernism: The Apotheosis of Cannibal Music provides a new assessment of the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos in terms of his contributions to the Modernist Movement of the twentieth century. In this profound study, Ricardo Averbach elevates Cultural Cannibalism as a major manifestation of the Modernist aesthetics and Villa-Lobos as its top exponent in the music field. Villa-Lobos’s anthropophagic appetite for multiple opposing aesthetics enlightens through the juxtaposition of contradictory elements, leaving a legacy of unmatched originality, a glittering kaleidoscope of sounds that draw from the radical power of Josephine Baker to the outrageous extravagance of Carme...

New Journeys in Iberian Studies

The research collected in this volume consists of 18 chapters which explore a number of key areas of investigation in contemporary Iberian studies. As the title suggests, there is a strong emphasis on trans-national and trans-regional approaches to the subject area, reflecting current discourse and scholarship, but the contributions are not limited by these approaches and include an eclectic range of recent work by scholars of history, politics, literature, the visual arts and cultural and social studies, often working in transdisciplinary ways. The geographical scope of the transnational processes considered range from intra-Iberian interconnections to those with the UK, Italy and Morocco, as well as transatlantic influences between the Peninsula and Argentina, Cuba and Brazil. The book opens up some pioneering new directions in research in Iberian studies, as well as variety of fresh approaches to hitherto neglected aspects of more familiar issues.
