Ensaiando o olhar latino-americano
Publicado pela Rede de Estudos de Artes Cênicas Latinoamericanas (REAL), ao livro reúne diferentes ensaios acadêmicos que refletem sobre América Latina e suas práticas cênicas desde nossa experiência situada; ao mesmo tempo instiga o olhar do leitor com a intenção de revelar as realidades sociopolíticas, históricas e culturais de maneira dialética, resistindo ao impulso erosivo do neoliberalismo e ao imperialismo de um discurso acadêmico europeizante. Como ato de amizade, esse livro também entrelaça os pensamentos dessa rede de estudos, criando vínculos afetivos entre vários países da América Latina através de um conjunto de pesquisadores que celebram os saberes dos territórios que habitam e que a cena visa vislumbrar. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Livro publicado com recursos da FAPESC — Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e Inovação do Estado de Santa Catarina e da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Centro de Artes).

Lançado há 50 anos, O anti-Édipo, de Deleuze e Guattari, nos aponta formas para uma vida antifascista; entre a crítica e a ficção, uma investigação da "arte do erro" em escritas latino-americanas; em entrevista, Eduardo Góes Neves (USP) fala da arqueologia como um saber político e a ocupação da Amazônia; m meio a mudança de governo, o saldo e as perspectivas para a pesquisa em ciências sociais no país, por André Botelho (UFRJ); O invencível verão de Liliana, de Cristina Rivera Garza: palavras para uma vida luminosa, além da tragédia.
Entrecartas: ensaiando escritas
"Este livro, organizado pelo Grupo de Pesquisa PERFORMATIVIDADES E PEDAGOGIAS (UNESP-CNPq), reúne cartas escritas por 20 autores(as), endereçadas a filósofos(as), poetas, pensadores(as), ativistas, humanos(as). Trata-se de uma obra poética (no sentido mais amplo da palavra), que nos leva a mergulhos sensíveis, profundos, criativos. "Fato é que a troca de cartas de teor afetivo e intelectual tem se manifestado ao longo da história, tecendo belos diálogos entre literatura, filosofia, artes e educação, entre outras áreas do conhecimento... pode até soar paradoxal continuarmos falando aqui sobre cartas, ou melhor, trocando cartas em um livro publicado em pleno século XXI, século este perpassado pelas novas tecnologias, pela comunicação via e-mail (e-pistolar) e pelas redes sociais, entre outras possibilidades. No entanto, é possível também notar que, independentemente da época em que se dê a correspondência escrita entre humanos, esse tipo de produção textual tem permanecido como um gênero fascinante e sedutor. Constatação, quem sabe, da afirmação de Deleuze e Guattari de que "as cartas são um rizoma, uma rede, uma teia de aranha"."
Footfree and Fancyloose
Best friends Harper Waddle, Sophie Bushell, and Kate Foster committed the ultimate suburban sin: bailing on college to pursue their dreams. Middlebury-bound Becca Winsberg was convinced her friends had gone insane until they reminded her she just might have a dream of her own. Now the year is half-way through and their dreams seem within reach. Well, almost. Harper has managed to gain the freshman fifteen without ever being a freshman, though locked in her basement bathroom she finds inspiration and finally seems to be writing from the heart. Sophie is forced to leave her cushy Beverly Hills quarters and crashes on Sam's couch while looking for her big Hollywood break. Kate is doing aid work in Ethiopia, where she encounters family ghosts - along with Darby, the handsome but antagonistic Princeton student who thinks she's a dumb blonde who couldn't possibly care about Ethiopia "since there are no celebrities here." And when Becca finally emerges from her lovers' nest, it seems her relationship with Stuart isn't as perfect as she thought. Even if "the year that changed everything" has sometimes been less than dreamy, these four best friends will always have each other.
Madam, this is Annie
Set in the final years of apartheid in South Africa, Dianne Case's gripping novel shows Annie, a black South African woman, struggling to raise her children against a background of extreme personal, economic and political hardship. Annie vividly tells her own story in a series of internal monologues addressed to her white employer, 'Madam'. With a combination of delicacy and devastating irony the narrative shows how these women are drawn together by mutual liking and sympathy and how their lives share numerous parallels, and yet how absolutely their experiences are separated by the inequalities of apartheid.
The Case of the Criminal Walk and Other Stories
Stories from Ethiopia where the reality is more astonishing than fiction "The Case of the Criminal Walk and Other Stories" presents a collection of short stories by Ethiopian writer Hama Tuma. As one reviewer put it, the stories of Hama Tuma ' give a voice to the plight of the ordinary people, tackling the themes of the tragedy of the Ethiopian people as a whole, including corruption and poverty, contrasted with the strength of the human spirit'. These are tales of a City on the one hand and that of a nation and a people on the other. As the famous Kenyan writer, Ngugi Wa Thiongo, put it in a review of Hama Tuma's earlier book, "The Case of the Socialist Witchdoctor and other Stories," Hama Tuma continues to "brilliantly capture the contradictions that make up the real Ethiopia of the twentieth century." In Ethiopia, the tragedy continues despite change of government and Hama Tuma delves into the tormented souls of his compatriots to highlight not only the suffering but also the hope and optimism that makes the living, however hard the struggle, tolerable and worthy.

The Final Case
From the award-winning, best-selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars—a moving father-son story that is also a taut courtroom drama and a bold examination of privilege, power, and how to live a meaningful life. A girl dies one late, rainy night a few feet from the back door of her home. The girl, Abeba, was born in Ethiopia. Her adoptive parents, Delvin and Betsy Harvey—conservative, white fundamentalist Christians—are charged with her murder. Royal, a Seattle criminal attorney in the last days of his long career, takes Betsy Harvey’s case. An octogenarian without a driver’s license, he leans on his son—the novel’s narrator—as he prepares for trial. So begins The Final Case, a bracing, astute, and deeply affecting examination of justice and injustice—and familial love. David Guterson’s first courtroom drama since Snow Falling on Cedars, it is his most compelling and heartfelt novel to date.
