Cultura acústica e letramento em Moçambique
As questões de escolarização e de letramento que afetam o povo de Moçambique envolvem os decisivos problemas que a modernidade impôs aos povos da periferia do mundo ocidental e cristão; portanto, a nós brasileiros também. O autor nos incita a pensar que não há uma linha reta a unir a difusão da leitura e escrita em sociedades como a moçambicana e a partilha universal dos benefícios das culturas urbanas e tecnológicas.
New Visions of Adolescence in Contemporary Latin American Cinema
This volume explores the recent ‘adolescent turn’ in contemporary Latin American cinema, challenging many of the underlying assumptions about the nature of youth and distinguishing adolescence as a distinct and vital area of study. Its contributors examine the narrative and political potential of teenage protagonists in a range of recent films from the region, acknowledging the distinct emotional registers that are at play throughout adolescence and releasing teenage subjectivities from restrictive critical and theoretical emphases on theories of childhood. As the first academic study to examine the figure of the adolescent in contemporary Latin American film, New Visions of Adolescence in Contemporary Latin American Cinema thus presents a timely and innovative analysis of issues of sexuality and gender, political and domestic violence and social class, and will be of significant interest to students and researchers in Latin American Studies, Cultural Studies, World Cinema and Childhood Studies.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROYAL PRESERVES IN PORTUGAL
This book looks at the functioning and symbolic meanings of the royal preserves, parks, and forests in a transitional period in Portuguese political regimes: at the end of the Ancien Regime and in the aftermath of the first liberal revolution in Portugal (1821), from 1777 to 1824.The aim is to understand how life developed in royal preserves before and after the Liberal Revolution in Portugal. The majority of academic work produced before 1998 focused on hunting and royal preserves in England, Spain or France. If the classic Whigs and Hunters, by E. P. Thompson, proclaimed the prerogatives of aristocracy for the British aristocratic mastering of property rights, status and ethos, other contributions of the preserves regime, in the mastering of social order and in the attempt to balance or master powers, can be added, for other regions in Europe. In this case, the focus is on Portugal.
Numbers
An aging male hustler wages an obsessive battle against the passing of his youth in this darkly compelling follow-up to the cult hit City of Night. Johnny Rio, a handsome narcissist no longer a pretty boy, travels to Los Angeles, the site of past sexual conquest and remembered youthful radiance, in a frenzied attempt to recreate his younger self. Like a retired boxer—an undefeated champion—who refuses to accept the possible ravages of time, Johnny is led by some unfathomable force to return to combat once again. Combat, for him, takes place in the dark balconies and dismal bathrooms of LA’s all-night movie theaters and on the hot sands of the city’s gay beaches. But these are only wa...

Nas Sílabas do Vento
O livro está dividido em três partes. Na primeira ("Cartografias Marítimas"), são apresentados poemas cuja maior referência é o mar e seu entorno. Vivi a maior parte da vida junto ao mar, então ele exerce uma força poderosa no meu fazer poético. Na segunda parte ("Filigranas Amorosas"), debruço-me sobre o amor. O amor é subjetivo, não existe uma forma racional de explicá-lo. Ele é pele, é sentimentos, mutável e não definido, podendo ser a ruína e a alegria. Os poemas levam-nos a perceber o amor em sua vivacidade e na intimidade penetrante a que o sentimento nos convoca. A terceira parte ("Relâmpagos Poético-Políticos") resulta da trajetória de minhas vivências em Moça...

Children on the Threshold in Contemporary Latin American Cinema
This book contends that child characters have taken on a critical representational role within Latin American cinema because of their position on the threshold between “nature” and “culture,” which converts them into a focus of, and a limit to, state or colonial biopower.
