Mudança provocada: passado e futuro no pensamento sociológico brasileiro
As forças da mudança e da conservação estão sempre atraindo indivíduos coletividades, que, indo de uma para a outra, procuram o melhor caminho a tomar. Mas nem sempre se chega a um julgamento decisivo. A complexidade da vida social impõe ambivalências e ambigüidades - deseja-se a mudança em algumas esferas da vida e anseia-se pela permanência em outras. As visões do passado e as imagens do futuro são formas de controle político e social da vida das coletividades e da ordem social. Os ensaios contidos neste livro pautam-se pela tensão entre as visões do passado e as imagens do futuro, visões que ocuparam e ocupam a intelectualidade brasileira.

Conversas com sociólogos brasileiros
Dos estudos fundadores, preocupados com a questão da identidade nacional e com a sistematização da disciplina como ciência, até as tendências mais recentes de Sociologia brasileira, os depoimentos deste livro permitem acompanhar as trajetórias de 21 dos principais sociólogos de nosso país, como Florestan Fernandes, Octavio Ianni, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Gabriel Cohn e José de Souza Martins, entre outros.
Constructing an Avant-Garde
How Brazilian postwar avant-garde artists updated modernism in a way that was radically at odds with European and North American art historical narratives. Brazilian avant-garde artists of the postwar era worked from a fundamental but productive out-of-jointness. They were modernist but distant from modernism. Europeans and North Americans may feel a similar displacement when viewing Brazilian avant-garde art; the unexpected familiarity of the works serves to make them unfamiliar. In Constructing an Avant-Garde, Sérgio Martins seizes on this uncanny obliqueness and uses it as the basis for a reconfigured account of the history of Brazil’s avant-garde. His discussion covers not only widely...
Learning from Madness
Throughout the history of European modernism, philosophers and artists have been fascinated by madness. Something different happened in Brazil, however, with the “art of the insane” that flourished within the modernist movements there. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the direction and creation of art by the mentally ill was actively encouraged by prominent figures in both medicine and art criticism, which led to a much wider appreciation among the curators of major institutions of modern art in Brazil, where pieces are included in important exhibitions and collections. Kaira M. Cabañas shows that at the center of this advocacy stood such significant proponents as psychiatrists Osório Cés...

The Cold War in the Third World
The Cold War in the Third World explores the complex interrelationships between the Soviet-American struggle for global preeminence and the rise of the Third World. Those two distinct but overlapping phenomena placed a powerful stamp on world history throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Featuring original essays by twelve leading scholars, this collection examines the influence of the newly emerging states of the Third World on the course of the Cold War and on the international behavior and priorities of the two superpowers. It also analyzes the impact of the Cold War on the developing states and societies of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Blending the new, internationalist approaches to the Cold War with the latest research on the global south in a tumultuous era of decolonization and state-building, The Cold War in the Third World bring together diverse strands of scholarship to address some of the most compelling issues in modern world history.
Breaching the Frame
Circa 1960, artists working at the margins of the international art world breached the frame of canvas painting and ruptured the institutional frame of art. Members of the Brazilian Neoconcrete group, such as HŽlio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, and their counterparts in Japan, such as Akasegawa Genpei and the Kansai-based Gutai Art Association, challenged the boundaries between art and non-art, between fiction and reality, between visual artwork and its discursive frame. In place of the indefinitely deferred promise of a revolution of the senses, artists called for Òdirect actionÓ here and now. Pedro Erber situates the beginnings of these profound transformations of art in the politically cha...
