The field of sports history is no longer a fledgling area of study. There is a great vitality in the field and it has matured dramatically over the past decade. Reflecting changes to traditional approaches, sport historians need now to engage with contemporary debates about history, to be encouraged to position themselves and their methodologies in relation to current epistemological issues, and to promote the importance of reflecting on the literary or poetic dimensions of producing history. These contemporary developments, along with a wealth of international research from a range of theoretical perspectives, provide the backdrop to the new Routledge Companion to Sports History.

Na esteira de teorizações que buscam produzir um alargamento do campo pedagógico, entendendo que os processos culturais constituem também nossas maneiras de ser e de pensar, educando nosso olhar e compondo nossos repertórios representacionais, a presente dissertação dedica-se à análise de um evento contemporâneo, qual seja, os Jogos dos Povos Indígenas. O argumento central deste estudo, vinculado ao seu objetivo, salienta que este é um espaço híbrido, no qual se entrelaçam práticas provenientes de culturas e tradições diversas e no qual se constituem múltiplas representações sobre os povos indígenas. No livro, indaga-se particularmente sobre as mesclas e hibridações q...
Este livro tem por objetivo descrever e analisar o sistema de metades tupi-kagwahiva. A reflexão tem como foco privilegiado as relações entre as formas e práticas de reprodução social dos povos Kagwahiva da Amazônia meridional, assim como as idéias e valores por eles sustentados sobre si mesmos e sobre seus Outros. A intenção é trazer ao debate sobre as organizações dualistas um regime marcado por um concentrismo de caráter incorporante, em certo sentido análogo ao modelo da predação característico dos povos de língua Tupi-Guarani. Esse concentrismo inflete em toda a sociedade kagwahiva produzindo um viés ambivalente na organização social e no ritual. Além disso, presente nos mitos de maneira implícita, o dualismo kagwahiva é modelo de abertura ao Outro e uma forma de expressão que opera através da oposição entre estabilidade e mudança. Baseada em uma pesquisa etnográfica realizada entre os Tenharim do rio Marmelos e entre os Amondawa, o estudo corresponde a uma interpretação do dualismo sensível à vida ritual e às classificações sócio-cosmológicas e institucionais nativas.
Modernity in Black and White provides a groundbreaking account of modern art and modernism in Brazil. Departing from previous accounts, mostly restricted to the elite arenas of literature, fine art and architecture, the book situates cultural debates within the wider currents of Brazilian life. From the rise of the first favelas, in the 1890s and 1900s, to the creation of samba and modern carnival, over the 1910s and 1920s, and tracking the expansion of mass media and graphic design, into the 1930s and 1940s, it foregrounds aspects of urban popular culture that have been systematically overlooked. Against this backdrop, Cardoso provides a radical re-reading of Antropofagia and other modernist currents, locating them within a broader field of cultural modernization. Combining extensive research with close readings of a range of visual cultural production, the volume brings to light a vast archive of art and images, all but unknown outside Brazil.
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
This collection of poems from one of Poland's major contemporary writers, Grzegorz Wróblewski, demonstrates his characteristic virtues: anthropological focus, objectivist detachment (though not without hallucinatory interference), minimalistic precision. But it also signals the presence of new elements. One of them is an extensive reliance on found language, the preferred mode of Anglophone conceptual writers, here acquiring a distinctly Eastern European flavor. Another is his candor, which teases readers with glimpses of his most private feelings. Bleak and terse, Wróblewski subjects his material to almost clinical treatment in order to better dissect and so understand the series of events that we call reality.
