Black Feminist Constellations
A collection of essays, interviews, and conversations by and between scholars, activists, and artists from Latin America and the Caribbean that paints a portrait of Black women's experiences across the region. Black women in Latin America and the Caribbean suffer a triple erasure: as Black people, as women, and as non-English speakers in a global environment dominated by the Anglophone North. Black Feminist Constellations is a passionate and necessary corrective. Focused on and written by Black women of the southern Americas, the original works composing this volume make legible the epistemologies that sustain radical scholarship, art, and political organizing by Black women everywhere. In e...
Sonia Gomes
"I Rise - I'm a Black Ocean, Leaping and Wide in Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden and the Salon Berlin, is the first institutional exhibition in Europe of the work of Brazilian artist Sonia Gomes. Sonia Gomes' biomorphic sculptures have an eerie, almost magical presence. Born in 1948 as the extramarital daughter of a white industrialist and a black woman, she grew up between two worlds. Gomes uses all kinds of found or gifted materials for her work, such as textiles, driftwood, furniture or wool, transforming them into sculptures or room-sized installations. Her works become vehicles for her own individualism, blending technical virtuosity and a materiality rooted in African folk art and spiritual traditions, a surreal language of form, Brazilian modernism and various currents of contemporary art."--Website
The Political Body
"This book discusses how some works of art produced in Latin America in the sixties, seventies, and eighties forged a different understanding of the female body, understood as space for the expression of a dissident subjectivity in relation to socially normalized places. Representations of art and of feminist activism interrogated the disciplining of the female body that entails as well the disciplining of the male body. Before a history of highly regulated artistic representations-regardless of the occasional exceptions a historian might point out-images erupted that questioned the social and institutional naturalization of the feminine and the masculine"--
Racism and Racial Surveillance
Based on the premise that the project of Western Modernity is a structuring element of our societies, Racism and Racial Surveillance explores in detail its legacies of coloniality and racialization that interfere in a subtle and perverse way in the current social, cultural and political systems. Guided by an interdisciplinary methodology, the various contributions privilege historical contexts of colonial formation and offer a thorough and intersectional analysis on the specters of coloniality in the upsurge of racism, surveillance, and criminalization, as well as the presence of the phantom of the race in spaces of knowledge production such as that of artistic field, forensic genetics and c...
Methane, Microbes and Models in Amazonian Floodplains
Amazon floodplain ecosystems include open water and intermittent flood forest and agricultural systems with different water types. They are a significant natural source of methane (CH4) in the tropics. When soils are flooded and become anoxic, CH4 is produced by methanogenesis, while microbially mediated aerobic and anaerobic oxidation of CH4 serves as the primary biological sink of this greenhouse gas. Measurements of rates and controls on CH4 production and emission in the Amazon basin mainly come from studies on individual wetlands and floodplain lakes. Similarly, microbial communities in those Amazon floodplain habitats have been studied on individual lakes based on sequence-specific DNA...
A Importância Das Mídias Alternativas No Jornalismo Moderno
Por décadas é o grande exemplo de um jornalista bem sucedido é estar vinculado às maiores emissoras do país e ser uma figura frequente na televisão, porém, com a expansão dos avanços tecnológicos, novas empresas e profissionais do jornalismo adotaram um caminho de alcance ainda mais relevante e assim, de forma mais acessível, abriram novos horizontes para uma carreira exemplar de jornalismo, através da mídia alternativa.
Mulheres do Brasil: artes e artistas
Il lavoro nel campo della storia dell'arte è stato ampiamente definito da un referenziale europeo. Allo stesso modo, la prospettiva di genere pur avendo un'attenzione crescente è ancora insufficiente nelle recenti ricerche in quel campo. La ricerca femminista nella storia dell'arte ha cercato di rivalutare la produzione artistica delle donne in questa realtà di notevoli trasformazioni e molteplicità culturali e riscrivendo storie rese invisibili se non cancellate dalla tradizione canonica. L'invisibilità di queste manifestazioni artistiche costituisce infatti una lacuna che fortemente marca e segna l'esclusione delle donne, soprattutto di quelle che non si adattano allo stereotipo scelt...
