Vozes do pluriverso
A obra Vozes do Pluriverso constitui um experimento coletivo de imaginação-intelectual que reúne sentipensamentos, corazonamentos e sentidos expandidos do que a academia tem chamado decolonialidade. Sua principal contribuição é pensar-refletir sobre práticas educativas decoloniais e antirracistas desde a experiência e em diálogo com vozes, sujeitos e epistêmes frequentemente desperdiçadas nas engrenagens de poder/ser/saber do eurocentrismo. O pluriverso, que dá nome à obra, é consubstanciado na pluralidade de temas, estilos de escrita e loci enunciação das/os autoras/es, posicionados em diversos territórios de aprendizagem: universidade, escola, comunidades quilombolas, retireiras, ribeirinhas, extrativistas e de terreiro. A partir de referenciais acadêmicos, afrodiaspóricos e indígenas, essas intelectualidades formulam sentidos de educar/conhecer/saber enquanto experiências essencialmente colaborativas e, ao mesmo tempo, corpóreas, afetivas, espirituais, estéticas e cognitivas.
Progressivism's Aesthetic Education
During the Progressive Era in the United States, as teaching became professionalized and compulsory attendance laws were passed, the public school emerged as a cultural authority. What did accepting this authority mean for Americans’ conception of self-government and their freedom of thought? And what did it mean for the role of artists and intellectuals within democratic society? Jesse Raber argues that the bildungsroman negotiated this tension between democratic autonomy and cultural authority, reprising an old role for the genre in a new social and intellectual context. Considering novels by Abraham Cahan, Willa Cather, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman alongside the educational thought of John Dewey, the Montessorians, the American Herbartians, and the social efficiency educators, Raber traces the development of an aesthetics of social action. Richly sourced and vividly narrated, this book is a creative intervention in the fields of literary criticism, pragmatic philosophy, aesthetic theory, and the history of education.
Uncertain Glory
SPAIN, 1937. Posted to the Aragonese front, Lieutenant Lluís Ruscalleda eschews the drunken antics of his comrades and goes in search of intrigue. But the lady of Castel de Olivo - a beautiful widow with a shadowy past - puts a high price on her affections. In Barcelona, Trini Milmany struggles to raise Lluís' son on her own, letters from the front her only solace. With bombs falling as fast as the city's morale, she leaves to winter with Lluís' brigade on a quiet section of the line. But even on 'dead' fronts the guns do not stay silent for long. Trini's decision will put her family's fate in the hands of Juli Soleràs, old friend and traitor of easy conscience, a philosopher-cynic locked in an eternal struggle with himself. Joan Sales, a combatant in the civil war, distilled his experiences into a timeless story of thwarted love, lost youth and crushed illusions. A thrilling epic that has drawn comparison with the work of Dostoevsky and Stendhal, Uncertain Glory is a homegrown counterpart to classics such as Homage to Catalonia and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Victorian Women's Writing
Since the late twentieth century, there has been a strategic campaign to recover the impact of Victorian women writers in the field of English literature. However, with the increased understanding of the importance of interdisciplinarity in the twenty-first century, there is a need to extend this campaign beyond literary studies in order to recognise the role of women writers across the nineteenth century, a time that was intrinsically interdisciplinary in approach to scholarly writing and public intellectual engagement.
