História da ciência no cinema
Sempre a partir de um filme disponível no circuito comercial, os pesquisadores que contribuiram com nesta obra discutem os temas afins à história das ciências e a inserção da áreas específicas nas suas múltiplas possibilidades de análise no esforço de construir uma narrativa que seja atraente como a linguagem do filme. Cada pesquisador teve liberdade para escolher os aspectos a serem abordados em seus artigos. A ideia é de que, a partir da exibição do filme no seu formato original ou editado para situações de bala de aula, o público possa refletir, de forma mais detida, a respeito de alguns aspectos escolhidos para o debate pelos autores dos artigos.

The Story of Rufino
A finalist for the Brazilian Book award and winner of the Casa de las America Prize for Brazilian Literature, The Story of Rufino: Slavery, Freedom, and Islam in the Black Atlantic was written by three experts in the history of slavery in Brazil and reconstructs the lively biography of Rufino Jose Maria, set against the historical context of Brazil and Africa in the nineteenth century.0This book narrates the life of a Yoruba Muslim named Rufino Jose Maria, born in the kingdom of Oyo, in present-day Nigeria. Enslaved as an adolescent by a rival ethnic group, he was acquired by Brazilian slave traffickers and taken across the Atlantic. He spent eight years as a slave in the city of Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil, where he arrived in 1823. Rufino was later sold to the southernmost province of Rio Grande do Sul, where he became the slave of the local chief of police.0Five years later, in 1835, he bought his freedom with money he saved as a hired-out slave in the streets of Salvador, in Bahia, and Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. He may also have earned part of the money from making Islamic amulets, as he was a literate Muslim. 0.
Science and Empire in the Atlantic World

Rather than focusing on a specific scientific field or single national context, this collection captures the multiplicity of practices, people, languages, and agendas that characterized the traffic in knowledge around the Atlantic world, linking this knowledge to the social processes fundamental to colonialism, such as travel, trade, ethnography, and slavery.
