Reflexões sobre a Modernidade
O livro propõe uma discussão interdisciplinar que aborda este conceito em suas acepções estéticas e literárias – e políticas – no âmbito das Artes e das Ciências Humanas. Os ensaios reunidos neste livro são assinados por renomados pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros que oferecem instigantes reflexões sobre esta noção ainda tão pertinente para o debate no campo das Humanidades.
A gente estancou de repente
"O trabalho de pesquisa desenvolvido por Denise Hudson tem como objetivo pensar a literatura brasileira no tempo presente, lançando uma mirada aguda, investigativa e teórica sobre as diversas formas de representação da expressão intelectual do fracasso e do fracassado no âmbito da literatura contemporânea brasileira". "Hudson enfrenta os Tempos Interessantes da literatura brasileira executando o seu intento de mapear 11 obras literárias e autores publicados nos primeiros 10 anos do século XXI. Em seu projeto, ela escolheu olhar para parcela da produção literária brasileira pelo viés do estigma do fracasso e da despersonalização. Hudson colocou em prática, na relação com seu...
Modernist Group Dynamics
For decades, the study of literary and philosophical modernism concerned solitary figures like the flâneur, the exile, and the lonely genius, but recently the group formations that fostered modernist movements have emerged into view. The essays in Modernist Group Dynamics: The Poetics and Politics of Friendship pursue this new direction in modernist scholarship, exploring the ways artists and intellectuals worked in concert and in conflict. Placing group formations, with all their promises and problems, at the centre of our study allows the contributors—scholars from around the world—to reconsider some of the best-known figures of European modernism, to analyze collaborations across national boundaries, and to recover modernist groups in unexpected contexts like the so-called Third World.
Modernism and Coherence
Modernism and Coherence is an attempt to develop a negative aesthetics conceived as determinate resistance of artworks against the meaning assigned to them by criticism. From the accumulation of arguments on great texts of modernism, the book describes gestures of refusal that generate figures of negativity: Adorno's Aesthetic Theory becomes a whirlpool revolving around a center refusing predication; Wallace Stevens' poetry exhibits a phonetic escape valve against the pressure of reality; Robert Frost writes a poem that is ahead of you in both senses of the expression; and James Joyce's Ulysses reads its readers in waves of self-folding. This book is an effort to salvage literature as something in itself in a world that increasingly can only see what is for the other.
Online Distance Education
This book will address the discussion on online distance education, teacher education, and how the mathematics is transformed with the Internet, based on examples that illustrate the possibilities of different course models and on the theoretical construct humans-with-media. We will attempt to give the reader the sensation of experiencing one of the various distance courses in which we have participated, or a virtual community that does not have the structure of a course. And if the reader has not yet participated in any of these possibilities, we believe that the book may help, but not substitute, the experience of participating in a discussion list, a course, or a virtual community constit...
Culture Industry Today
The concept of culture industry leads a double life. On the one hand, it appears as transparent, being used widely and freely in reference to a branch of business; on the other, it is a notion belonging to a critical tradition that wants to preserve the tension resulting from the juxtaposition of these two words. Culture Industry Today is a contribution to the latter trend, which takes into account the current prevalence of the former. By offering interpretations of the term in relation to philosophy, media, television, the Third World, the psyche and the culture of consumption, the book aims at showing the continued relevance of an expression whose muteness is the corroboration of its darkest content.
Essays Brazilian
In these crisp, shrewd essays, a scholar of European modernism trains his insights and considerable critical acumen on contemporary Brazil, subjecting to scrutiny those spheres dearest to "Brazilian culture": the Sao Paulo Biennial; tropicalia; City of God (both novel and film). Dialectical readings in the best sense, these brilliant, penetrating essays offer not pat resolutions but all the productive, joyous energy of tensions that pull at one another and spark new meanings and musings. Durao and friends eschew moralism to dwell, for instance, with the paradoxical promises of the pop song, at once utopian and commodified, mass without actually being popular, forging of communities and manip...
Re-mapping World Literature
How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological cros...

Biopolymer Engineering in Food Processing
Due to their unique properties and ability to interact with other food components, biopolymers have traditionally played a major role in food processing. Biopolymer Engineering in Food Processing explores processing technology associated with biopolymer applications and discusses both operational and economic aspects. Following an overview of biopolymer applications and their functionality in different processes, the text examines: Production routes, availability, costs, and physicochemical properties of commercial biopolymers Rheology of biopolymer suspensions, how concentration and shear may affect their flow behavior, and their response to pressure losses and heat transfer during flow Eff...
