The COVID-19 Pandemic and Memory
This book offers a platform for the analysis of commemorative and archiving practices as they were shaped, expanded, and developed during the Covid-19 lockdown periods in 2020 and the years that followed. By offering an extensive global view of these changes as well as of the continuities that went with them, the book enters a dialogue with what has emerged as an initial response to the pandemic and the ways in which it has affected memory and commemoration. The book aims to critically and empirically engage with this abundance of memory to understand both memorialization of the pandemic and commemoration during the pandemic: what happened then to commemorative practices and rituals around the world? How has the Covid-19 pandemic been archived and remembered? What will remembering it actually entail, and what will it mean in the future? Where did the Covid memory boom come from? Who was behind it, how did it emerge, and in what social configurations did it evolve?
Frontiers in Synaptic Plasticity: Dendritic Spines, Circuitries and Behavior
The term “synaptic plasticity” is a broad concept, which is studied with a variety of experimental approaches. One focus is the impact of changes in synaptic, neuronal and glial morphology on brain circuitry and behavior. In this regard, unique animal models have been key to the study of affective and social behaviors and neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, there is a paucity of compilations directed toward the correlation of alterations in synaptic structure with various physiological and behavioral paradigms. This Frontiers Research Topic will, therefore, serve as an exciting forum for the exchange of novel hypotheses and data and an important resource and reference for investigators studying synaptic and brain plasticity, as well as those in related fields.
Stars and Stardom in Brazilian Cinema
Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in “star studies,” Brazilian film has received comparatively little attention. As this volume demonstrates, however, the richness of Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen Miranda. Among the studies assembled here are fascinating explorations of figures such as Eliane Lage (the star attraction of São Paulo’s Vera Cruz studios), cult horror movie auteur Coffin Joe, and Lázaro Ramos, the most visible Afro-Brazilian actor today. At the same time, contributors interrogate the inner workings of the star system in Brazil, from the pioneering efforts of silent-era actresses to the recent advent of the non-professional movie star.

Mapping Minor/Small and World Literatures
Mapping Minor/Small and World Literatures: Periphery and Center makes a declarative intervention in debates about world literature, redefining the boundaries between the center and periphery to rejuvenate long-established assumptions about significance and insignificance. In this book, African American literature (emerging from the often overlooked pink periphery, a cramped space of minor literature), works from the Faroe Islands, Basque literature, First Nation Canadian literature, Western narratives about peripheral China, Kurdish literature, the ultraminor literary space of Antigua, the 'favela' of Brazilian literature, as well as the hyperlocal narratives of Australian and New Zealand li...
Grafia da vida: Reflexões e experiências com a escrita biográfica
O vivo interesse por trabalhos biográfiicos – refletindo-se numa pluralidade de públicos, leitores e audiência – talvez exceda a simples lógica de mercado ou os apelos que certos personagens notáveis parecem exercer. Visitado por prof ifissionais de inúmeras áreas, o campo da escrita biográfica é certamente um palco privilegiado de experimentação para o historiador, colocado em meio à tensão entre o aspecto científico e o aspecto literário deste gênero. Quando constroem biografias, os historiadores devem estar atentos aos perigos de formatar seus personagens e de induzir o leitor à expectativa ingênua de que ele está sendo apresentado a uma vida marcada por regularidades, repetições e permanências. A narrativa biográfica é uma modalidade de escrita da história profundamente imbricada nas subjetividades, nos afetos, nos modos de ver, perceber e sentir o outro.
