A World Torn Apart
This collection of essays derives from a conference on Violence, Culture and Identity held in St Andrews in June 2003. It is a contribution to the understanding of representations of violence in Latin American narrative. The collected essays are dedicated to the study of the problematic history of violence as a means of 'civilizing' the region: violence used by dictatorial regimes to eradicate the collective memory of their actions; violence as a result of the history of marginalizing segments of the population; sexual violence as an attempt at complete control of the victim. The essays establish a clear link between historical, political and literary constructs spanning the past five hundred years of Latin American history. Close readings of political texts, historical documents, prose, poetry and films employ identity theories, postcolonial discourse, and the principles of mimetic and sacrificial violence. The volume adds to the ongoing critical investigation of the relationship between Latin American history and narrative, and to the key role of representations of violence within that narrative tradition.
Paul Ricœur
Already more than sixty years Paul Ricoeur enriches the international philosophical patrimony with an astonishing number of highly technical books and enlightening reflections on actual problems and situations. To serve the community of researchers in philosophy I have already published two systematic bibliographies of (and on) Ricoeur in 1985 and 1995. Encouraged by friends and colleagues I present now another updated bibliography as exhaustive as possible.

Juristas em resistência: memória das lutas contra o autoritarismo no Brasil
A Editora Contracorrente tem a satisfação de anunciar a publicação do livro Juristas em resistência: memória das lutas contra o autoritarismo no Brasil, de Antonio Pedro Melchior. A partir de vasta bibliografia – que inclui trabalhos de áreas diversas, processos jurídicos e documentos – e de uma notável capacidade de análise do autor, esta obra se insere na dimensão das "políticas de justa memória", com seu objetivo de recuperar a atuação dos juristas em resistência ao autoritarismo do sistema de justiça brasileiro do Estado Novo. Embora se volte para o passado, o livro também articula, habilmente, a experiência da década de 1930 com as da década de 1960 e as do Bras...

Historia y narratividad
Si la fenomenologia hermeneutica de la accion de Paul Ricoeur tiene una enorme incidencia etico politica es, entre otras razones, porque, frente a la narratologia formalista o a la semiotica estructural, abre las vias de la historicidad intrinseca de la funcion narrativa. Se hace imprescindible una poetica de la historia vinculada a la temporalidad, en la que, si la explicacion es necesaria, lo es tambien para comprender, porque es la configuracion narrativa la que define la realidad historica y, por tanto, la que nos constituye. La relacion entre la accion de leer y la refiguracion del texto, su recreacion, es la clave del poder para que, en el entrecruzamiento entre la historia y la ficcio...
