Contracultura
Christopher Dunn's history of authoritarian Brazil exposes the inventive cultural production and intense social transformations that emerged during the rule of an iron-fisted military regime during the sixties and seventies. The Brazilian contracultura was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that developed alongside the ascent of hardline forces within the regime in the late 1960s. Focusing on urban, middle-class Brazilians often inspired by the international counterculture that flourished in the United States and parts of western Europe, Dunn shows how new understandings of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship erupted under even the most oppressive political conditions. Dunn reveals p...

Art - The Path To Knowledge
A university must produce and organize knowledge. Indeed, this fact does not seem to suffer disputes. However, what is the knowledge that a university produces and disseminates? In this short essay, which serves as a conceptual basis for a wide-ranging epistemological discussion, the authors propose questions about knowledge, whose answers have been sought by the contemporary academy. However, the research is more focused on questions than on answers. The important thing is to ask the right questions. We invite the members of the academic community to participate in this theoretical reflection on knowledge, in order to support our research activities, extension, teaching and graduate studies...
A Present Past
The events related to the 1964 coup and the military dictatorship (1964-85) have become common currency in the recent public debate in Brazil. The issue is especially strategic to the extreme right-wing groups surrounding Jair Bolsonaro, the president elected in 2018. For them, the 1964 coup is cherished and celebrated, marking defeat of the left and the beginning of a political regime oriented towards order and progress. The political project built around Bolsonaro is an attempt to impose a distorted and Manichean view of recent history, both by discourse and attempts of censorship. According to that view, 1964 was not a coup detat, but a revolution that saved Brazilians from communism. In ...
Depositions
“Burle Marx created a new and modern grammar for international landscape design.” —Lauro Cavalcanti, quoted in the New York Times “The real creator of the modern garden.” —American Institute of Architects Roberto Burle Marx (1909–1994) is internationally known as one of the preeminent modernist landscape architects. He designed renowned public landscapes in Brazil, beginning with small plazas in Recife in the 1930s and culminating with large public parks in the early 1960s, most significantly the Parque do Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro. Depositions explores a pivotal moment in Burle Marx’s career—the years in which he served as a member of the Federal Cultural Council created ...
The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies
The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies offers a full overview of the histories, practices, and critical and theoretical foundations of the rapidly changing landscape of screendance. Drawing on their practices, technologies, theories, and philosophies, scholars from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media arts articulate the practice of screendance as an interdisciplinary, hybrid form that has yet to be correctly sited as an academic field worthy of critical investigation. Each chapter discusses and reframe current issues, as a means of promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance and the moving image. Topics addressed embrace politics of the...
Das togas aos chinelos
A moda está presente em todas as situações da vida humana. Para sair de casa, você sempre está vestido, seja de modo voluntário, seja, em último caso, para não incorrer em atentado ao pudor. Para a grande maioria das pessoas, a roupa se tornou uma forma de expressão da personalidade, motivo pelo qual este livro questiona até que ponto a imposição de um determinado estilo de vestimenta poderia modificar a percepção de si e, talvez, interferir de modo velado em direitos fundamentais, como o da liberdade. Com ênfase na exigência do código de vestimenta formal do Judiciário para profissionais e jurisdicionados (cidadãos) dentro dos espaços físicos do judiciário, partindo de uma análise histórica da tradição da formalidade, passando por casos reais de profissionais e pessoas que sofreram alguma restrição em decorrência da sua roupa, questionando-se até que ponto a exigência é eficiente na atualidade ou se ela não seria pivô de uma velada afronta a direitos constitucionais por parte daquele órgão constitucionalmente incumbido de salvaguardar direitos.
Cultura e Economia
Durante muito tempo os economistas negligenciaram a cultura e por muito tempo o setor cultural também se desinteressou da reflexão econômica. Vivemos o fim dessa época. Para os atores do setor cultural, as ferramentas econômicas podem se tornar uma base sólida de desenvolvimento; para os tomadores de decisões, a contribuição da cultura para a economia do conhecimento abre oportunidades originais de ação; para os cidadãos, trata-se de ter meios para compreender e defender um setor cujo valor simbólico e o potencial de riqueza humana e econômica não podem mais ser ignorados.

Citizenship and Crisis in Contemporary Brazilian Literature
Considering how literary texts address the transformations that Brazil has undergone since its 1985 transition to democracy, this study proposes that Brazilian contemporary literature is informed by the struggle for social, civil, and cultural rights and that literary production has created spaces for historically disenfranchised communities.
