Marcoré
Marcoré, first published in Rio de Janeiro in 1957, won the coveted prize for fiction awarded by the Brazilian Academy of Letters and has been praised by leading critics and writers in Brazil. The novel has maintained favor with the Brazilian public and has also been published and received with enthusiasm in Portugal. Adopting the intimist, introspective approach characteristic of such writers as Machado de Assis and Graciliano Ramos, Pereira tells a moving, bittersweet tale of personal problems and family relationships. The central character of Marcoré is the narrator, a modest, introverted individual who, aware of his own human condition, tends to view life with pessimism tempered with c...
The Modernist Movement in Brazil
“Ask an authority on Brazilian culture what he considers to be the most significant artistic event in Brazil during this century,” observes John Nist, “and he will quickly reply, ‘The Modern Art Week Exhibition, staged in Sao Paulo in February, 1922.’ This public demonstration and aesthetic manifesto represented a cut with the past, a violent break with tradition unparalleled in Brazilian history. The fact that Brazilians still discuss the poetical renovation achieved by Modernism shows how strongly the movement attacked and questioned traditional attitudes, cherished preconceptions, prejudiced aspects of a national sensibility that still persists, in some quarters, to this day. As...
Living and Learning
V Living and Learning arrives at the right time for eighty-seven years, as if an almost romantic report on life and accounting, with balance sheets and balance of experiences and coexistence. Shows life as if in group work, school with students from different grades. Predestination or destiny of many souls, paths on multiple paths, human family with akashic records, as the Indians think. My lessons, my choices, my problems. My story, my stories: no disappointment, not one at all! At different times, family members, companions, colleagues, friends, brothers, confreres, nuns, coreligionists, opponents, critics, everyone in eternal learning and teaching. Who? With whom? By whom? For whom? From who? What? Where? To where? As? When? How much? Why? For what? Each one, each thing, each company, each event, at the right time, in the right place, formal or non-formal learning. Many verbs conjugated in all moods and tenses: to be/not to be, to have, to act, to see/be seen, to see from the inside or from the outside, to watch/represent, to enter, to leave, to stay, to feel, to believe, to substitute/be substituted, to agree/not to agree. Diversified the exercise of living and acting.
Reconstructing Cultural Memory
Comment les littératures du monde entier ont elles, chacune à sa façon ou s'inspirant mutuellement, vécu, assumé, rejeté les modèles culturels, artistiques et linguistiques, que de force ou de gré elles ont été amenées à accueillir au long des siècles? Comment les traductions, vecteurs premiers des relations interlittéraires, ont elles joué de leurs immenses ressources pour dissimuler, encourager ou décourager la constante et périlleuse mise en cause des traditions nationales?Les quatorze contributions de ce volume nous offrent un éventail de réponses à ces deux questions. De la France au Japon, de la Chine aux Etats-Unis, du Brésil à la Pologne, nous voyons se déploye...
The Space In-Between
Silviano Santiago has been a pioneer in the development of concepts crucial to the discourse of contemporary critical and cultural theory, especially postcolonial theory. The notions of “hybridity” and “the space in-between” have been so completely absorbed into current theory that few scholars even realize these terms began with Santiago. He was the first to introduce poststructuralist thought to Brazil—via his publication of the Glossario de Derrida and his role as a prominent teacher. The Space In-Between translates many of his seminal essays into English for the first time and, in the process, introduces the thought of one of Brazil’s foremost critics and theorists of the lat...
