The Brazilians
Brazil has long been a country in search of its own meaning and mission. Early in their history Brazilians began to puzzle over their surroundings and their relation to them. The eighteenth century produced an entire school of nativistic writers who, with the advent of independence, became fiery nationalists, still pursuing introspective studies of their homeland. Throughout the nineteenth century, the intellectuals of Brazil determined to define their nation, its character, and its aspirations. In this now well-established tradition, José Honório Rodrigues confronts the questions of who and what the Brazilian is, what Brazil stands for, where it has been, and where it is going. This study...
Cotidiano e Sociabilidades
O Brasil é um país que se constituiu a partir de um tripé: latifúndio, monocultura e trabalho escravo. As nossas raízes históricas e sociais estão, indissoluvelmente, vinculadas a esses elementos estruturais que, direta e indiretamente, determinaram nossas bases políticas, econômicas, sociais, culturais e simbólicas. Dessa forma, a formação do latifúndio mediante a prerrogativa monocultora e escravocrata fundou nossa nacionalidade em desigualdades, violências, ódio e desprezo. Diante desse processo, tivemos resistências. É nesse sentido que o campesinato resiste e existe na luta contra o latifúndio, contra as desigualdades, a violência das elites agrárias e o desprezo do ...

Teologias e Ciências das Religiões
Nós - seres humanos [mortais] - somos seres condicionados, porque tudo aquilo com que entramos em contato torna-se, imediatamente, condição de nossa existência. Destarte, deparamo-nos diante da inevitável necessidade antropológica de o ser humano estabelecer um sentido global a partir do qual organiza cada uma das parcelas da realidade com a qual entra em contato, cotidianamente. Existencialmente, todo ser humano mendiga o sentido da existência, mesmo que em graus distintos de explicação: "[...] Todo ser humano tem um sentido para a vida, um eixo articulador para a existência, ao passo que nem todos os seres humanos possuem o mesmo eixo articulador [...]". Nos últimos dias da humanidade, floresce no terreno da pluralidade religiosa uma diversidade de eixos articuladores, desvelando diversas opções de sentido. Que este escrito vos possibilite uma experiência - "[...] a face do pensamento que se volta para a presença do objeto [...]" - de leituras de sentido!
Political Struggle, Ideology, and State Building
The collapse of the Portuguese empire in the Americas in the early nineteenth century did not immediately or easily translate into the formation of the independent nation-state of Brazil. While "Brazil" had geographic meaning, it did not constitute a cohesive political identity that could draw on basic loyalties. The tumultuous struggle to nationhood in Brazil was marked by the interplay of differing social groups, political parties, and regions. A series of violent revolts in Pernambuco, a large slaveholding, sugar-producing province in northeastern Brazil, exposed the tensions accompanying state and nation building. Political Struggle, Ideology, and State Building delves into the complex a...
Disoriented Disciplines
An urgent call to think on the edges, surfaces, and turns of the literary artifact when it crosses cultural boundaries In the absence of specialized programs of study, abstract discussions of China in Latin America took shape in contingent critical infrastructures built at the crossroads of the literary market, cultural diplomacy, and commerce. As Rosario Hubert reveals, modernism flourishes comparatively, in contexts where cultural criticism is a creative and cosmopolitan practice. Disoriented Disciplines: China, Latin America, and the Shape of World Literature understands translation as a material act of transfer, decentering the authority of the text and connecting seemingly untranslatabl...
