A Cultural History of Latin America
The Cambridge History of Latin America is a large scale, collaborative, multi-volume history of Latin America during the five centuries from the first contacts between Europeans and the native peoples of the Americas in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to the present. A Cultural History of Latin America brings together chapters from Volumes III, IV, and X of The Cambridge History on literature, music, and the visual arts in Latin America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The essays explore: literature, music, and art from c. 1820 to 1870 and from 1870 to c. 1920; Latin American fiction from the regionalist novel between the Wars to the post-War New Novel, from the 'Boom' to the 'Post-Boom'; twentieth-century Latin American poetry; indigenous literatures and culture in the twentieth century; twentieth-century Latin American music; architecture and art in twentieth-century Latin America, and the history of cinema in Latin America. Each chapter is accompanied by a bibliographical essay.

Art and the Academy in the Nineteenth Century
Throughout the nineteenth century, academies functioned as the main venues for the teaching, promotion, and display of art. Contemporary scholars have, for the most part, denigrated academic art, calling it formulaic, unoriginal, and repetitious. The contributors to Art and the Academy in the Nineteenth Century challenge this entrenched notion and consider how academies worldwide have represented an important system of artistic preservation and transmission. Their essays eschew easy binaries that have reigned in academia for more than half a century and that simply oppose the avant-garde to academicism.
A Tropical Belle Epoque
This book, originally published in 1987, is a socio-cultural analysis of a tropical belle epoque: Rio de Janeiro between 1898 and 1914. It relates how the city's elite evolved from the semi-rural, slave-owning patriarchy of the coffee-port seat of a monarchy into an urbane, professional, rentier upper crust dominating the centre of a 'modernising' oligarchical republic. It explores such varied topics as architecture, literature, prostitution, urban reform, the family, secondary schools, and the salon. It evokes a milieu increasingly marked by Europe, demonstrating how French and English culture permeated the lives of elite members who adapted it to their needs and perspectives as a dominant stratum of relatively recent and varied origin. This exploration of cultural 'dependency' in a unique, cosmopolitan, fin-de-siecle urban culture will also interest those concerned with the broader questions of culture and colonialism during the high tide of European imperialism.

História e imagens: jornadas com Didi-Huberman
Com extrema erudição, Georges Didi-Huberman congrega o pensamento clássico e contemporâneo sobre as linguagens e lhes confere uma interpretação singular. Como resultado das reflexões em torno da obra de Georges Didi-Huberman, o livro reúne textos de pesquisadores ativos em três grupos de pesquisa: Grupo de Estudos de História e Imagens (GEHIM), Núcleo de Estudos em História Social da Arte e da Cultura (NEHAC) e Grupo de Pesquisa Interartes: Processos e Sistemas Interartísticos e Estudos de Performance (GEIEP). Distribuídos em cinco jornadas, os ensaios presentes no livro fazem dialogar seus temas de investigação com o pensamento de Georges Didi-Huberman. Partem de pesquisas sólidas que buscam articulações com a obra do autor e discutem suas provocações teórico-epistemológicas.
A cultura da violência entre traços e tramas
Esta obra tem como objetivo investigar os sintomas de violência no interior do Brasil oitocentista por meio da vida e obra do pintor José Ferraz de Almeida Jr. (1850-1899). Para tanto, constatadas tanto sua produção quanto as (re) interpretações contemporâneas de seu universo pictórico, bem como as circunstâncias de sua morte narradas no processo crime que apurou o fato, considerar-se-á a hipótese de violência como traço cultural do séc. XIX a partir da chave de leitura apontada por Jorge Coli (2005) e suas premissas sobre o pensamento do artista (2010) na inter-relação entre a obra e a vida do pintor. Serão examinados, igualmente, a retórica e argumentação constantes do ...
