"Um trabalho de arte abriga uma posição. Em qualquer um há algo de astromancia. Apoia-se numa eletiva afinidade que se deixa borrada quando desponta. E, como o nascimento solicita a 'carta', a partir da forma absolutamente anterior que se dá entre alguma coisa e outra coisa a ocorrer ao além, em certeiro momento de certa conjugação, um trabalho de arte se transveste assim de algo que oferece os rastros ástreos, da última e da primeira aparição, nos quais se perde de vista o caso, no outro do céu também" – escreve após um gole de café, cruzando, infelizmente, as pernas, impetrando, de imediato, o arranjo da posição
"Em Busca do Tempo Perdido", a obra monumental de Marcel Proust, é descrita como uma experiência literária que transcende a simples leitura, exigindo do leitor uma dedicação intensa e prolongada. Frequentemente citada, mas raramente lida em sua totalidade, a obra é cercada de lendas que ofuscam a experiência real de sua leitura. Em 2021, Marcus Alexandre Motta propôs a formação de um grupo de leitura para explorar e discutir a obra, reunindo alunos novos e antigos em encontros semanais on-line. Esse grupo, livre das pressões acadêmicas, dedicou-se à leitura meticulosa e à reflexão crítica da obra. Além da leitura, o grupo produziu fragmentos chamados "cacos", que buscaram dialogar com Proust e entre si, culminando em uma coleção que reflete a natureza complexa e múltipla da obra original. As contribuições também incluíram composições visuais, enriquecendo a interpretação coletiva dos trabalhos. O resultado é um livro que, assim como "Em Busca do Tempo Perdido", é um mosaico de experiências temporais e reflexões que convida o leitor a uma imersão profunda e paciente no universo proustiano.
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
"This book documents the most relevant contributions to the introduction of networked, dynamic, agile, and virtual organizational models; definitions; taxonomies; opportunities; and reference models and architectures.

Erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial condition of growing concern to the clinician and the subject of extensive research. Since the publication of the first edition of the book with the title Dental Erosion, new knowledge for a better understanding of this important subject has been gathered. The new and more detailed insights resulted in this second, extended publication. It presents a broad spectrum of views, from the molecular level to behavioural aspects, as well as trends in society. In particular, the issues concerning chemical and biological factors as well as dental erosion in children are covered more extensively in this second edition. The first chapters include topics such as the definition, diagnosis, interaction, epidemiology and histopathology of tooth wear. Further, the aetiology of dental erosion, including nutritional and patient-related factors, and dental erosion in children are discussed. This book is a valuable and indispensable guide to better oral health and is highly recommended to faculty members, researchers, dental students, practitioners and other dental professionals.
Polonium-210 is an alpha emitting radionuclide with no radioactive progeny and produces only very-low-intensity gamma rays at very low abundance. This means doses largely arise from internal exposure. In addition to the relatively high ingestion does coefficient of 210Po, radionuclide transfer in the environment results in high activity concentrations in certain foods. This publication focuses on radionuclide transfers in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments, and provides information on key transfer processes, concepts and models--back cover.

Genre studies and genre approaches to literacy instruction continue to develop in many regions and from a widening variety of approaches. Genre has provided a key to understanding the varying literacy cultures of regions, disciplines, professions, and educational settings. GENRE IN A CHANGING WORLD provides a wide-ranging sampler of the remarkable variety of current work. The twenty-four chapters in this volume, reflecting the work of scholars in Europe, Australasia, and North and South America, were selected from the over 400 presentations at SIGET IV (the Fourth International Symposium on Genre Studies) held on the campus of UNISUL in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil in August 2007—the l...
