The Conspiracy of Modern Art
In The Conspiracy of Modern Art the Brazilian critic and art-historian Luiz Renato Martins presents a new account of modern art from David to Abstract Expressionism. The once vibrant debate on these touchstones of modernism has gone stale. Viewed from the Sao Paulo megalopolis the art of Paris and New York - embodying Revolution, Thermidor, Bonapartistm and Bourgeois ‘Triumph' - once more pulsates in tragic key. Equally attentive to form and politics, Martins invites us to look again at familiar pictures. In the process, modern art appears in a new light. These essays, largely unknown to an English-speaking audience, may be the most important contribution to the account of modern painting since the important debates of the 1980s.
The Long Roots of Formalism in Brazil
The present studies on Brazilian modern art seek to specify some of the dominant contradictions of capitalism’s combined but uneven development as these appear from the global ‘periphery’. The grand project of Brasília is the main theme of the first two chapters, which treat the ‘ideal city’ as a case study in the ways in which creative talent in Brazil has been made to serve in the reproduction of social iniquities whose origins can be traced back to the agrarian latifundia. Further chapters scrutinise the socio-historical basis of Brazilian art, and develop, against the grain of the most prominent art historical approaches to modern Brazilian culture, a critical approach to the distinctly Brazilian visual language of geometrical abstraction. The book contends that, from the fifties up to today, formalism in Brazil has expressed the hegemony of the market.
Reasoning Against Madness
Examines the emergence of Brazilian psychiatry during a period of national regeneration, demonstrating how sociopolitical negotiations can shape psychiatric professionalization
A imagem fria
São da década de 1980 os oito filmes analisados pelo psicanalista Tales Ab’Sáber em seu livro de estreia. A proposta é discutir as relações entre o cinema feito em São Paulo e as questões culturais da Nova República. O autor leva em conta as noções de pós-modernismo, mercado e técnica, bem como os novos caminhos estéticos buscados pelos diretores da época. Pelo alcance da análise, a obra enriquece não só a reflexão sobre o cinema, mas o debate sobre os tropeços da produção cultural brasileira.

Melancolias, mercadorias
Melancolias, Mercadorias foi apresentado como tese de doutorado em Literatura Brasileira na FFLCH-USP. Walter Garcia interpreta A Preta do Acarajé, de Dorival Caymmi, e Carioca, de Chico Buarque, como momentos de passagem de um sistema da canção popular-comercial brasileira. Abrangendo uma série de análises (letra, melodia, canto, harmonia, acompanhamento rítmico, dimensão comercial), o trabalho estuda esse sistema em sua formação, com os sambas das primeiras décadas do século XX, e em sua ruína, na virada para o século XXI.
