Notes on Female Representation in Literature
The book highlights three views on female representation in literature: in Greek tragedies, through Clytemnestra (Agamemnon, by Aeschylus), and in Amazonian literature, through Mariana (Chuva Branca, by Paulo Jacob) and Mitsi (Coronel de Barranco, by Cláudio de Araújo Lima). The first note seeks to show how the Greek woman is portrayed in the discourse of male characters in Aeschylus' tragedy, putting in motion concepts such as the patria potestas discussed in the writings of Locke, Foucault, Hegel and Aristotle and trying to understand how this cosmovision is related to the Greek man of the time. The two other notes sought to demonstrate how women have been represented in novels of Amazonian expression.
The Romanesque Space
This is a book of great interest for all scholars of space in Literature and for all geographers who wish to see the geographical reality through literary texts. Anchored in the interdisciplinarity between Topoanalysis and Cultural/Humanistic Geography, it is part of the great awakening that studies on the literary space have been the target of in the last decades, especially by geographers who seek a clearer, more intense, expressive and existential form of literary language to describe places and to communicate aspects of the human condition. It is not all: the adepts of literary studies can find in this dialogue a stimulating source of concepts that can be mined in Geography and used in t...

Literafia
O livro é voltado para os estudiosos do espaço na Literatura e para todos os geógrafos que desejam enxergar a realidade geográfica por meio de textos literários. Ancorado na interdisciplinaridade entre Topoanálise e Geografia humanista cultural, ele se inscreve no grande despertar que os estudos sobre o espaço literário vêm sendo alvo nas últimas décadas, sobretudo por parte de geógrafos que buscam na linguagem literária uma forma mais clara, intensa, expressiva e existencial de descrever os lugares e de comunicar os aspectos da condição humana. Não é tudo: os adeptos dos estudos literários podem encontrar nesse diálogo uma fonte estimulante de conceitos que podem ser gari...
A Amazônia do romance Chuva Branca
Chuva branca é um romance do escritor Paulo Jacob, publicado em 1968, no calor do prêmio literário Walmap, na época o mais importante do Brasil. Ao propor uma leitura do romance após 50 anos de sua publicação, o autor se fundamenta na teoria da Intertextualidade e na Estética da Recepção para mostrar a Amazônia ficcional nele representada. O resultado é um passeio por temas expressivos de uma Amazônia ribeirinha, de rios de águas barrentas, a saber: tipos sociais amazônicos, cultura, sagrado, vulnerabilidade social e cultura indígena. O autor procura mostrar que A Amazônia de Chuva branca é um lugar onde o mito vive e se revela intercambiável com a própria realidade. Defende ainda que, ao realizar uma representação da Amazônia, o escritor Paulo Jacob consegue – por meio da ficção – aquilo que sociólogos e antropólogos o fazem por meio de suas ciências: documentar o homem a partir de seus dramas, de sua luta, de suas crenças e cultura, bem como de suas condições. E mais: que os valores culturais amazônicos enfatizados por esta leitura mostram ao país uma parte significativa de seu próprio rosto.
Crítica literária acadêmica amazonense
No presente livro, elegemos como objeto de investigação a crítica literária acadêmica amazonense e seus itinerários pela poesia lírica do Amazonas, tendo em vista a necessidade de realizar um inventário sobre sua história e compreendê-la como um processo sociocultural. Propomos dividir e caracterizar a crítica literária em três gerações: a primeira é, em grande parte, caracterizada ou conhecida como uma crítica impressionista, subdividida em dois momentos, antes e depois do surgimento do Clube da Madrugada (1954), e pela publicação das obras dos primeiros críticos especialistas, ainda na década de 1970. A segunda, que designamos como geração de fundação, forma-se ent...
In Search of the Amazon
Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.
Translation and Multimodality
Translation and Multimodality: Beyond Words is one of the first books to explore how translation needs to be redefined and reconfigured in contexts where multiple modes of communication, such as writing, images, gesture, and music, occur simultaneously. Bringing together world-leading experts in translation theory and multimodality, each chapter explores important interconnections among these related, yet distinct, disciplines. As communication becomes ever more multimodal, the need to consider translation in multimodal contexts is increasingly vital. The various forms of meaning-making that have become prominent in the twenty-first century are already destabilising certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms, causing old definitions and assumptions to appear inadequate. This ground-breaking volume explores these important issues in relation to multimodal translation with examples from literature, dance, music, TV, film, and the visual arts. Encouraging a greater convergence between these two significant disciplines, this text is essential for advanced students and researchers in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Communication Studies.
