The Transatlantic Circulation of Novels Between Europe and Brazil, 1789-1914
This book brings a renewed critical focus to the history of novel writing, publishing, selling and reading, expanding its viewing beyond national territories. Relying on primary sources (such as advertisements, censorship reviews, publisher and bookstore catalogues), the book examines the paths taken by novels in their shifts between Europe and Brazil, investigates the flow of translations in both directions, pays attention to the successful novels of the time and analyses the critical response to fiction in both sides of the Atlantic. It reveals that neither nineteenth century culture can be properly understood by focusing on a single territory, nor literature can be fully perceived by looking only to the texts, ignoring their material existence and their place in social and economical practices.
Narratives against Enslavement from the Court Rooms of Nineteenth-Century Brazil
This book examines the enslavement system in nineteenth-century Brazil, demonstrating the strategies that lawyers and plaintiffs used to fight for freedom in court. In nineteenth-century Brazil, countless enslaved and freed women and men appealed to court to claim their right to freedom or that of family members. Taken as a whole, these legal suits create a narrative against the institution of slavery. By analyzing 30 individual cases (1810–1881) from various parts of imperial Brazil, this book demonstrates the intricate strategies of argumentation that lawyers and plaintiffs conceived to prove the right to freedom of the parties involved and to convince the authorities of it. Enslaved per...

Cartografias da cidade (in)visível
Enfocando práticas de escrita e letramento dos pobres, daqueles que sempre consideramos excluídos do mundo culto, Cartografias da Cidade (In)Visível delineia um quadro renovado. Enveredando por abordagens novas, o livro mostra como alguns que, tidos como excepcionais, pois de origem popular e negros, produziam a escrita educada dos romances, poesias ou artigos de jornal - como Machado de Assis e Lima Barreto - eram também produtos do sistema escolar do Império, menos excludente do que supomos. A maioria, no entanto, se inseria no universo escrito pelas bordas, por meio de formas de letramento que costumamos chamar de incompletas, mas que se revelam como estratégias de inclusão significativas. Recuperar a participação de escravos, libertos e livres no mundo fechado da alta cultura e da escrita nos permite superar mais uma barreira que, por muito tempo, antepôs aqueles que tiveram o privilégio de fazer a história - de narrá-la segundo seus pontos de vista - aos que, aparentemente, apenas a tinham sofrido!
Brazilian History
This book offers the reader a critical and interdisciplinary introduction to Brazilian history. Combining a didactic approach with insightful historical analysis, it discusses the main political, cultural, and social developments taking place in the Latin American country from 1500 to 2010. The historical narrative leads the reader step by step and in chronological succession to a clear understanding of the country’s three main historical periods: the Colonial Period (1500-1822), the Empire (1822-1889), and the Republic (1889-present). Each phase is treated separately and subdivided according to the political developments and successive regional forces that controlled the nation’s territory throughout the centuries. At the end of each section, an individual chapter discusses the foremost cultural and artistic developments of the period, engaging perspectives on literature, music, and the visual arts, including cinema. Through its multifaceted approach, the book explores economic history, foreign policy, education and social history, as well as literary and artistic history to reveal the multiethnic and culturally diversified nature of Brazil in all its fullness.

Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000
In Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000: Exploring Unfinished, Unpublished, Unsuccessful Encyclopedic Projects, fourteen scholars turn to the archives to challenge the way the history of modern encyclopedism has long been told. Rather than emphasizing successful publications and famous compilers, they explore encyclopedic enterprises that somehow failed. With a combined attention to script, print, and digital cultures, the volume highlights the many challenges facing those who have pursued complete knowledge in the past three hundred years. By introducing the concepts of stranded and strandedness, it also provides an analytical framework for approaching aspects often overlooked in histories o...
Escrita de si, escrita da história
Chama a atenção para certo tipo de leitura, cada vez mais freqüentente, como cartas, diários íntimos e memórias, entre outros, e das ricas oportunidades que eles podem oferecer à reflexão, no trabalho dos historiadores.
A ARITMÉTICA PARA O ENSINO COMERCIAL
Ao lado das aulas de instrução primária, secundária e dos cursos superiores criados no início do século XIX no Brasil, também foram criadas aulas destinadas ao ensino profissional, com o objetivo de qualificar os comerciantes das principais praças comerciais do país. Para além da Aula de Comércio criada a partir de 1809, o ensino comercial se desenvolveu ao longo dos anos, estimulando uma produção didática que contemplava conhecimentos contábeis, escrituração mercantil, economia política e matemática. Entendendo os manuais didáticos como uma fonte de significativa contribuição para a história do pensamento e das práticas educativas, este livro se debruça sobre os con...
