Semiotics
This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and ...
A Comparative History of the Literary Draft in Europe
Literary drafts are a constant in literatures of all ages and linguistic areas, and yet their role in writing processes in various traditions has seldom been the subject of systematic comparative scrutiny. In 38 chapters written by leading experts in many different fields, this book charts a comparative history of the literary draft in Europe and beyond. It is organised according to eight categories of comparison distributed over the volume’s two parts, devoted respectively to ‘Text’ (i.e. the textual aspects of creative processes) and ‘Beyond Text’ (i.e. aspects of creative processes that are not necessarily textual). Across geographical, temporal, linguistic, generic and media boundaries, to name but a few, this book uncovers idiosyncrasies and parallels in the surviving traces of human creativity while drawing the reader’s attention to the materiality of literary drafts and the ephemerality of the writing process they capture.
And Still the Earth
In future São Paulo, water is scarce, garbage clogs the roads, and every life is now ruled by the sinister and omnipotent System. A classic novel of “dystopia,” looking back to Orwell’s 1984 and forward to Gilliam’s Brazil. Welcome to São Paulo, Brazil, in the not too distant future. Water is scarce, garbage clogs the city, movement is restricted, and the System—sinister, omnipotent, secret—rules its subjects’ every moment and thought. Here, middle-aged Souza lives a meaningless life in a world where the future is doomed and all memory of the past is forbidden. A classic novel of “dystopia,” looking back to Orwell’s 1984 and forward to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, And Still the Earth stands with Loyola Brandão’s Zero as one of the author’s greatest, and darkest, achievements.

After the Long Silence
After the Long Silence offers a ground-breaking, meticulously researched criticism of Brazilian contemporary performance created by its post-dictatorship generation, whose work expresses the consequences of decades of state-imposed censorship. By offering an in-depth examination of key artists and their works, Cláudia Tatinge Nascimento highlights Brazil’s political trajectory while never allowing the weight of historical events to offset key aesthetic trends. Brazilian theater artists born around the time of the nation’s 1964 military coup experienced the oppressive rule of dictatorship throughout their formative years, but came of age as Brazil re-entered democracy some two decades la...
NETWORKS OF CREATION
The process of creation, with the help of Peircean semiotics, can be described as a fallible movement with tendencies, sustained by the logic of uncertainty, encompassing the intervention of chance, opening a space for the introduction of new ideas, a process where regression and progression are infinite. In Unfinished Gesture, we highlighted the uncertain and indeterminate trends that guide artists in their tireless quest for the construction of works that satisfy their major poetic project; a construction strongly influenced by communication issues. The artists’ quest finds its possible materializations in complex work construction processes. In a second stage, the creative path was focused under five viewpoints, such as: transforming action, translational movement, knowledge process, construction of artistic truths, and experimentation path. To readers of Unfinished Gesture, it will be clear that many themes are taken up again, under other perspectives, from what was discussed earlier. Therefore, the familiar passages or quotes were recovered. My inevitable networking reflections interact in an attempt to expand its field of action.
Criação em processo

A Ficção da Escrita
A única pista disponível para conhecer as últimas propostas do escritor Georges Perec (1936-1982) é o manuscrito de 53 Jours, que ele escrevia antes de falecer. O enredo do romance é o sumiço de um autor fictício, cujo paradeiro só pode ser descoberto pelo manuscrito que ele produzia antes de desaparecer. Cláudia Amigo Pino, professora da USP, traça um paralelo entre realidade e ficção para desvendar o processo criativo de um dos mais importantes autores da literatura francesa contemporânea.
