Muscling in on New Worlds
Muscling in on New Worlds brings together a dynamic new collection of studies that approach sport as a window into Jewish identity formation in the Americas. Articles address football/soccer, yoga, boxing, and other sports as crucial points of Jewish interaction with other communities and as vehicles for reconciling the legacy of immigration and Jewish distinctiveness in new world national and regional contexts.
The Mexican Filmography, 1916 through 2001
Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

Guillermo Calles
In 1912, Guillermo Calles (1893-1958) became the first Mexican actor to appear in films made in California. Despite limited resources, he began directing and producing his own movies, and in 1929 pioneered production of Spanish-language sound films. His major works, among them the long-unavailable El indio yaqui and Raza de bronce (both 1927), represented Calles' tireless crusade to restore the image of Mexicans and Indians in an era dominated by Hollywood stereotypes. This biography traces Calles' career from his earliest Hollywood days through the 1950s. Included are the only surviving images of the filmmaker's silent productions, a closing commentary on his intimate circle of relatives, and an appendix featuring two fascinating letters written by Calles during a filming trip.

O corpo impossível
A fragmentação da consciência, considerada um dos princípios fundadores do modernismo, desencadeou de forma correlata a ideia de fragmentação do corpo. No período entre o fim do século XIX e a Segunda Grande Guerra, diversos artistas e escritores se voltaram para a criação de imagens do corpo dilacerado, dispostos a subverter a tradição do antropomorfismo para inaugurar uma estética contemporânea aos dilemas de seu tempo. Em O corpo impossível – escrito num estilo de notável clareza –, Eliane Robert Moraes recompõe o itinerário desse imaginário. Para tanto, promove uma análise da vertente do modernismo francês que vai de Lautréamont aos surrealistas, com particular atenção ao pensamento de Georges Bataille. Daí resulta uma fina interpretação do tema, cuja originalidade está justamente em colocar história e estética em diálogo.
Media and Genre
This book reflects and analyzes the relationship between media and genre, focusing on both aesthetics and discursive meaning. It considers genres as having a decisive impact on media cultures, either in film, on TV, in computer games, comics or radio, on the level of production as well as reception. The book discusses the role of genres in media and cultural theory as a configuration of media artifacts that share specific aesthetic characteristics. It also reflects genre as a concept of categorization of media artifacts with which the latter can be analyzed under terms depending on a specific historical situation or cultural context. A special focus is placed on trans-media perspectives. Even as genres develop their own traditions within one medium, they reach beyond a media-specific horizon, necessitating a double perspective that considers the distinct recourse to genre within a medium as well as the trans-media circulation and adaption of genres.
Psicanálise na Ditadura (1964-1985)
Com a infiltração do conceito de "guerra psicológica", usual entre militares, no campo psicanalítico e a cooptação de profissionais e associações psicanalistas pela ditadura militar brasileira, a psicanálise brasileira se descaracteriza, paradoxalmente durante sua fase de disseminação, quando se consolidam tanto as múltiplas correntes dos movimentos psicanalíticos como uma literatura crítica, e o IPA (Associação Internacional de Psicanálise, na sigla em inglês) alcança sua hegemonia no Brasil. Rafael Alves Lima, em pesquisa minuciosa de fontes primárias e testemunhais, mostra que a ditadura brasileira impôs aos movimentos psicanalíticos um processo contraditório de con...
