Literary Tourism
Literary tourism is a nascent field in tourism studies, yet tourists often travel in the footsteps of well-known authors and stories. Providing a wide-ranging cornucopia of literary tourism topics, this book fully explores the interconnections between the written word and travel. It includes tourism stories using guidebooks, films, television and electronic media, and recognises that stories, texts and narratives, even if they cannot be classified as traditional travel writing, can become journeys in themselves and take us on imaginary voyages. Appealing to a wide audience of different disciplines, it encompasses subjects such as business literary writing, historical journeys and the poetry of Dylan Thomas. The use of these different perspectives demonstrates how heavily and widely literature influences travel, tourists and tourism, making it an important read for researchers and students of tourism, social science and literature.
The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation
The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation offers an understanding of translation in Latin America both at a regional and transnational scale. Broad in scope, it is devoted primarily to thinking comprehensively and systematically about the intersection of literary translation and Latin American literature, with a curated selection of original essays that critically engage with translation theories and practices outside of hegemonic Anglo centers. In this introductory volume, through survey and case-study chapters, contributing authors cover literary and cultural translation in the region historically, geographically, and linguistically. From the nineteenth to the twenty-fi...
Affect and Realism in Contemporary Brazilian Fiction
This book is about contemporary Brazilian fiction from the past two decades and concerned with the possibilities of literary intervention in the reality of the historical moment. Thus, an understanding of the actual role of literature is strategic in the definition of the contemporary, and the book shows an optimism among current writers and artists with respect to the aesthetic, ethical, and political role of literature and art in the twentieth century. In contemporary Brazilian prose, two simultaneous ambitions are often reconciled. The commitment to individual or social reality is a challenge that is assumed without thereby necessarily accepting and following the molds of the traditional search for national or cultural identities. This foundation is one of the constants of contemporary prose, without thereby eliminating the continuous existence of a formal experimentalism that is the clearest heir of the modernist project.
Transnational Portuguese Studies
Transnational Portuguese Studies offers a radical rethinking of the role played by the concepts of ‘nationhood’ and ‘the nation’ in the epistemologies that underpin Portuguese Studies as an academic discipline. Portuguese Studies offers a particularly rich and enlightening challenge to methodological nationalism in Modern Languages, not least because the teaching of Portuguese has always extended beyond the study of the single western European country from which the language takes its name. However, this has rarely been analysed with explicit, or critical, reference to the ‘transnational turn’ in Arts and Humanities. This volume of essays from leading scholars in Portugal, Brazil...

O gabinete do Doutor Blanc
"O gabinete do doutor Blanc – sobre jazz, literatura e outros improvisos" é o segundo volume da coleção Aldir 70, que celebra os 70 anos do compositor Aldir Blanc. O livro reúne textos sobre jazz e literatura publicado por Aldir no site no.com no início dos anos 2000. Em "O gabinete do Doutor Blanc" o leitor terá contato com um Aldir amante de música e voraz leitor de livros policiais. Os textos, no entanto, não fogem das características mais marcantes de seu autor: são ácidos, repletos de ironias e trocadilhos no clássico estilo de Aldir.

Pra tudo começar na quinta-feira
Este é um trabalho com um recorte temático e espacial: ele versa sobre os enredos das escolas de samba do Rio de Janeiro e os seus criadores. A primeira parte aborda a conexão que existe entre os enredos das agremiações e os respectivos contextos históricos em que foram apresentados. A segunda parte apresenta e analisa a biografia profissional e a contribuição dos maiores carnavalescos, criadores de enredos, para o crescimento e transformação das escolas de samba do Rio de Janeiro desde 1960, quando a influência desses personagens passa a ser decisiva (e polêmica) para os rumos da festa.
