A fera na selva
Um segredo une o casal de amigos John Marcher e May Bartram. Após se conhecerem na Itália e passarem dez anos sem se falar, um reencontro inesperado em Londres faz com que retomem a amizade, acompanhada das expectativas de John, que espera por acontecimento raro e grandioso em sua vida. Um sentimento de amor não explícito entre eles permeia toda a narrativa, que também trata de solidão, destino, temor e morte. A trama, que se passa na Inglaterra e se tornou um clássico da literatura do século XIX, propicia ao leitor uma infinidade de interpretações sobre a real história de A fera na selva. Esta publicação conta com tradução de José Geraldo Couto e posfácio de Modesto Carone.
Anedotas do destino
"Karen Blixen conduz seus personagens quase como se fosse a hábil condutora de marionetes que, de repente, adquirem vida própria e lhe fogem do controle, um pouco, talvez, como Deus e suas criaturas. Mas fica nelas uma bússola. [...] Se a legenda viva de nobre europeia, que viveu na África dezessete anos, numa fazenda de café do Quênia, e que de certo modo se tornou black under the skin, lhe dá, por um lado, uma notoriedade fácil, por outro, erode-lhe as virtualidades propriamente literárias. Sucintamente, pode-se dizer que chegou à literatura pela porta dos fundos, quando abandonou a África e retornou à Europa contra sua vontade, por motivo de falência econômica. Foi esse evento o acontecimento central de sua vida e uma espécie de divisor de águas, que a fez ingressar na literatura. Outro tivesse sido o resultado econômico de sua aventura agrícola e talvez se tivesse perdido uma das maiores escritoras do século XX." (Trechos do ensaio A África perdida de Isak Dinesen, de Per Johns).

Theatre of the Oppressed and its Times
Political theatre, like any kind of political action, can only be judged in relation to the political moment in which it tries to intervene. Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) was created to fight against dictatorship and an extremely centralized conception of politics. How does it function now, in a time of social media and so-called participatory democracies? Providing an in-depth account of the political and cultural context in which TO emerged, this book asks: How do contemporary understandings of concepts like oppression, representation, participation, and emancipation shape TO today? Highlighting the pitfalls of reducing oppression to one-to-one relationships, the book proposes a version of Forum Theatre dramaturgy that portrays oppression as a defining structure of societies. The author also shares specific examples of movements and other organizations that use Theatre of the Oppressed to construct themselves. Theatre of the Oppressed and Its Times is an essential text for practitioners and scholars of TO, applied theatre practitioners, students, and anyone interested in how theatre can concretely assist in the transformation of the world.

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil
The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil is comprised of thirteen transcriptions of supervisions Wilfred Bion conducted during his three teaching and speaking tours of Brazil. During these tours, Bion conducted over 130 public supervisions of analytic cases in English in which he explained his theories and illustrated their clinical application. Following on from the first volume, Bion in Brazil: Supervisions and Commentaries (2017), this book presents each supervision in full, with an accompanying commentary written by a senior Brazilian psychoanalyst and Bionian scholar. Arguably, no psychoanalyst has had as much impact on psychoanalytic development in Brazil than Bion, and this collection of his seminars, presented here for the first time, acts as a historical document and testament to his legacy in contemporary analysis. The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil provides a unique opportunity for contemporary psychoanalysts, candidates, and students to hear the distinctive ‘voice’ of Bion, observe how he listens in conversation, and learn how he would intervene in and interpret a clinical situation.

Catarinas, Pafúncias e Hermengardas: construções de personagens femininas em Contos de João Antônio
O contista João Antônio Ferreira Filho (1937-1996), paulistano criado em modestos bairros operários da periferia da cidade de São Paulo, recriou literariamente o universo dos marginalizados – jogadores de sinuca, punguistas, otários, moleques de rua, bêbados, prostitutas, guardadores de automóveis, soldados, porteiros de casa noturna, cafetões, pedintes, traficantes e malandros. São raríssimas as protagonistas no universo desse autor; porém, são constantes as personagens femininas nos escritos do contista – sempre mulheres relegadas a segundo plano dentro das relações de poder que se estabelecem em um relacionamento de bases patriarcais entre um homem e uma mulher. Não se ...
