MULHERES DO BRASIL: Empoderamento, Resistência e (Im)Possibilidade – Vol. 4

Essa obra tem como princípio um novo olhar sobre os diversos temas relacionados às mulheres e propõe uma mudança de atitude em busca de mais espaço para a presença feminina. No Brasil, temos testemunhado e vivenciado o debate público em torno do lugar da mulher em diversas decisões e questões femininas. A luta constante pelos direitos das mulheres tem avançado lentamente no país. Algumas conquistas já foram alcançadas nas últimas décadas, como o direito ao voto e o direito de serem eleitas. No entanto, quando se trata da representatividade feminina, esse debate está ainda muito distante do desejado, devido à pouca presença de mulheres. Isso pode ser resultado da histórica exclusão das mulheres, o que ainda ecoa até hoje em nosso país. Em suma, a obra é um convidar para o leitor pensar reflexivamente, amplo e contextualizado, sobre a real necessidade de analisar os diversos temas e aspectos do empoderamento e resistência das mulheres brasileiras.

Archive Fever

As a depository of civic record and social history whose very name derives from the Greek word for town hall, the archive would seem to be a public entity, yet it is stocked with the personal, even intimate, artifacts of private lives. It is this inherent tension between public and private which inaugurates, for Derrida, an inquiry into the human impulse to preserve, through technology as well as tradition, both a historical and a psychic past. What emerges is a marvelous expansive work, engaging at once Judaic mythos, Freudian psychoanalysis, and Marxist materialism in a profound reflection on the real, the unreal, and the virtual.

Plantation Memories

Plantation Memories is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question “Where do you come from?” to Hair Politics to the N-word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece that deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other. Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival in 2008, soon the book became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice, and image to her own texts, Grada Kilomba has adapted her book into a staged reading and video installation. Plantation Memories is an important contribution to the global cultural discourse.

The Murmuring Coast

This captivating tale is told in two parts. The first presents Lidia Jorge's version of a traditional story about a series of supposed incidents set in Beira, Mozambique. The events take place in the final years of Portugal's colonial African wars as an undisclosed narrator describes the military wedding of a young Portuguese ensign and an equally young bride. The wedding is followed by the mass poisoning of hundreds of native Africans and the arrival of a rain of locusts. The story ends grimly with the groom's suicide. Evita Lopo, the unnamed bride from the first part, narrates the remainder of the story. Twenty years have gone by and she reviews the past and questions the unidentified narrator's rendering of events in the first section. Evita's reminiscences destroy the credibility of the earlier story, and she supplies the reader with a great deal of information that the author of the previous account had suppressed or to which he or she merely alluded. It becomes apparent that betrayal and guilt have motivated all of the characters' actions.
