Gilberto Freyre
A coletânea, organizada pela crítica de arte Clarissa Diniz e pela educadora Gleyce Heitor, apresenta ao leitor uma diferente faceta do autor de 'Casa Grande & Senzala', a de um atuante crítico de arte. Os textos reunidos no livro foram publicados em diversos jornais e revistas, especialmente entre as décadas de 1920 e 1980. O 5o volume da Coleção 'Pensamento Crítico', traz comentários de Gilberto Freyre que mostram a posição do sociólogo a favor da expansão da concepção estética e suas observações que vão além dos limites das tradicionais perspectivas sobre a arte. Diversas manifestações culturais como a moda, a culinária e a arquitetura, e muitas outras, são englobadas no livro, bem como as sugestões do escritor para a contextualização e a crítica da arte, para a sociologia da arte e para a própria produção artística.
The Organic Line
A major rethinking of twentieth-century abstract art mobilized by the work of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark What would it mean to treat an interval of space as a line, thus drawing an empty void into a constellation of art and meaning-laden things? In this book, Irene Small elucidates the signal discovery of the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark in 1954: a fissure of space between material elements that Clark called “the organic line.” For much of the history of art, Clark’s discovery, much like the organic line, has escaped legibility. Once recognized, however, the line has seismic repercussions for rethinking foundational concepts such as mark, limit, surface, and edge. A spatial cavity th...
Frameworks for Discursive Actions and Practices of the Law
This volume provides descriptive and interpretive insights into the ‘living’ usage of language and other semiotic modes in building and performing the law across academic, professional and institutional contexts, where issues arise from the meaning and function of legal texts, discourse and genre in constituting and enabling conventions, albeit dynamically, and account for the socially and (inter)culturally influenced forms of discursive actions and practices. The twenty contributions included here weave significant contexts and situations for legal discourse and practice into a tight thread, and justify selected topic areas through a variety of approaches, frameworks, methodologies, and procedures. As such, this publication is multidimensional and multiperspectival in its design and implementation of key issues confronting discursive actions and practices of the law, and provides an invaluable resource for academics in a wider range of disciplines, including linguistics, applied linguistics and communication studies. It will also be of interest to students of interdisciplinary discourse analysis.
Decolonising the Museum
Explores the scope that there is for Indigenous curatorial agency in the relationship of Indigenous contemporary art with the 'art world'.
Jonathas Andrade: Com O Coracao Saindo
Ingenious sculptural takes on idiomatic language from a leading Brazilian artist For his installation at the Brazilian pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), Jonathas de Andrade (born 1982) draws on idiomatic expressions using metaphors of the body to develop a series of two- and three-dimensional works that render tangible the poetry of these expressions. For example, two immense ears placed at the entrance and exit of the pavilion allow the public to "go in one ear and out the other," while an inflatable balloon, which invades the space at various times of the day, alludes to a "heart coming out of the mouth." The emphasis on the body, especially the body of the man from the Brazilian Northeast, is also characteristic of several of the artist's earlier works featured in this book, which also includes essays by the publication's editor Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, and Clarissa Diniz.
Do Valongo À Favela
From Valongo to Favela: imaginary and periphery arises from the curation of the namesake of Clarissa Diniz and Rafael Cardoso and approaches the neighborhood around MAR, the port area of Rio de Janeiro, when dealing with its imaginary and its representations through time in art, photography, architecture. Exhibition and catalog are guided by two historical landmarks: the first is the Cais do Valongo, the world's largest slave-trading depot in the 19th century. The Valongo therefore demarcates the tragedy of slavery and the African diaspora. The second addresses the emergence of the favela as the most obvious feature of the new exclusion of the freedmen, still under the slave-holding and post-colonial power. With texts by Rafael Cardoso, Roberto Conduru, Romulo Costa Mattos, Nataraj Trinta and Clarissa Diniz.
Constructing an Avant-Garde
How Brazilian postwar avant-garde artists updated modernism in a way that was radically at odds with European and North American art historical narratives. Brazilian avant-garde artists of the postwar era worked from a fundamental but productive out-of-jointness. They were modernist but distant from modernism. Europeans and North Americans may feel a similar displacement when viewing Brazilian avant-garde art; the unexpected familiarity of the works serves to make them unfamiliar. In Constructing an Avant-Garde, Sérgio Martins seizes on this uncanny obliqueness and uses it as the basis for a reconfigured account of the history of Brazil’s avant-garde. His discussion covers not only widely...
Social Fabric
Social Fabric: Art and Activism in Contemporary Brazil brings together the work of ten artists who reflect upon the long-standing histories of oppressive power structures in the territory now known as Brazil. Blurring the line between art and activism and spanning installation, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and video, these artists contribute to local and global conversations about the state of democracy, racial injustice, and the violence inflicted by the nation-state. This first English-language, book-length study of contemporary Brazilian art in relationship to activism assembles artist-authored texts, interviews, essays, and a conceptual mapping of Brazilian history to illuminate the function of art as a platform for critical engagement with the historical, political, and cultural configurations of a particular place. By refusing to remain neutral, these artists create spaces of vibrant and vital community and self-construction to explore how healing and justice may be possible, especially in the Black, LGBTQIA+, and Indigenous communities to which many of them belong.
The Anticolonial Museum
The Anticolonial Museum acknowledges some of the consequences of colonialism in the current work of museums. Looking at museum theory in a critical way, it proposes a radical revision of museums’ rhetoric on decolonisation, as well as their public image and practices. Bringing together a collection of reflections on decolonisation through the observation of museum performance and discourse, the author considers current practices in response to the social claims of marginalised groups and activists. Drawing from a genealogy of decolonial thinking in museology, Brulon Soares identifies the inherent paradoxes reflected in museum work. The book’s focus is not exclusively on the reality of co...
Cuidado e solidariedade
Sobre a obra Cuidado e Solidariedade - 1a Ed - 2022 "A configuração do cuidado como valor jurídico nos convoca a exercer a cidadania e estabelecer uma relação pacífica e construtiva com os diferentes, na medida que nos identificarmos, entendermos e aprendermos com o contrário. Não se pode negar que o tema se liga à solidariedade, acentuando-se que, nestes novos tempos, o cuidado e a tolerância devem refletir muito mais do que os sentimentos de compreensão ou aceitação. Impõe-se a não discriminação, a ausência de preconceitos, o respeito às crenças religiosas e as divergências de ideias. (...) O atual contexto social brasileiro e mundial conclama uma nova ética, justific...
