Cartographies of Empire
The road novel is often dismissed as a mundane, nostalgic genre: Jack, Sal, and other tedious white men on the road trying to recapture an authentic youth and American past that never existed. Yet, new road novels appear every year, tackling unexpected questions and spanning new geographies, from Mexico, Brazil, Bulgaria, Palestine, Ukraine, and former-Yugoslavia. Why did the road novel emerge and why does it persist? What does it do and why has it traveled so widely? Myka Tucker-Abramson draws from an archive of more than 140 global road novels from over twenty countries, challenging dominant conceptions of the road novel as primarily concerned with American experiences and subjectivities. ...

Espaces et littératures des Amériques
Comme on le comprendra à la lecture de ces textes, les Amériques restent encore à être inventées, repensées, revisitées par des écritures et des lectures nouvelles.
Exiles from European Revolutions
Studies on exile in the 19th century tend to be restricted to national histories. This volume is the first to offer a broader view by looking at French, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Czech and German political refugees who fled to England after the European revolutions of 1848/49. The contributors examine various aspects of their lives in exile such as their opportunities for political activities, the forms of political cooperation that existed between exiles from different European countries on the one hand and with organizations and politicians in England on the other and, finally, the attitude of the host country towards the refugees, and their perceptions of the country which had granted them asylum.
Granta 121
Since Granta's inaugural list of the Best of Young British Novelists in 1983 - featuring Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Martin Amis and Julian Barnes - the Best of Young issues have been some of the magazine's most influential. In 2010, Granta looked beyond the English-speaking world with Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists. Now, with its first-ever issue fully translated from Portuguese in partnership with Granta em Português, the magazine continues its work of celebrating emerging talent from around the world. Submissions by young and promising authors from across Brazil have been read and discussed by a judging panel comprised of the country's foremost literary figures - including Manuel da Costa Pinto, coordinator of the Paraty Literary Festival, Cristovão Tezza is one of the most important writers in the country, and Benjamin Moser, author of a biography on Clarice Lispector. Their final choices will introduce the world to the diversity and uniqueness of Brazilian literature today.
McSweeney's Issue 46
In thirteen electrifying stories, our very first all-Latin-American issue takes on the crime story as a starting point, and expands to explore contemporary life from every angle—swinging from secret Venezuelan prisons to Uruguayan resorts to blood-drenched bedrooms in Mexico and Peru, and even, briefly, to Epcot Center and the Havana home of a Cuban transsexual named Amy Winehouse. Featuring contemporary writers from ten different countries—including Alejandro Zambra, Juan Pablo Villalobos, Andres Ressia Colino, Mariana Enriquez, and many more—McSweeney’s 46 offers an essential cross-section of the troubles and temptations confronting the region today. It’s crucial reading for anyone interested in the shifting topography of Latin American literature and Latin American life, and a collection of writing to rival anything we’ve assembled in years.
Geografias literárias de língua portuguesa no século XXI
Resultado de uma parceria entre a Università degli Studi di Padova, a Universidade de São Paulo e a Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, este livro, cujo título já traz em si a metodologia da caminhada, reúne vários artigos à volta das formas e funções da geografia em manifestações literárias e artísticas contemporâneas, produzidas em Angola, Brasil, Cabo Verde, Moçambique e Portugal. Além de conduzir à interpretação aguda das dinâmicas de nosso tempo, a escrita do espaço fez emergir um léxico pautado em categorias vizinhas: paisagem, território, fronteira e região que, entrecruzando-se com símbolos, identidade, imaginário, anunciam hipóteses de outros olhares: por ...
Televisão por streaming, necromídia e capitalismo gore
Escrito coletivamente, por um conjunto de doze pesquisadores da área da Comunicação, o livro analisa a série televisiva Dahmer – Um Canibal Americano, lançada pela Netflix, em setembro de 2022. A partir daí, o que se produz, além de um aprofundamento no caso, é um caleidoscópio de questões atinentes às relações entre mídia, morte e violência.

O involuntário ato de respirar
Michael Kabongo é um carismático professor que, aos olhos dos outros, tem tudo: devoção dos alunos, popularidade entre os colegas. Porém, no seu íntimo, ele carrega a frustração de alguém impotente frente às injustiças que se abatem sobre a esmagadora maioria dos jovens negros marginalizados – que, diferente dele, não tiveram as mesmas oportunidades. E quando uma perda avassaladora e inesperada traz à tona toda essa angústia, Michael decide fazer as malas e ir para os Estados Unidos com um único plano: torrar todas as suas economias em busca de aventuras e experiências e, quando a grana acabar, tirar a própria vida.
