A gaia ciência - literatura e música popular no Brasil
Cadernos Ultramares seeks to present Brazilian culture and thought in a qualified way, through volumes bringing together important essays by renowned authors in different areas of knowledge. The critic José Miguel Wisnik has become a reference for the insertion of the analysis of popular music lyrics as a major form of Brazilian literature. That is what he does in the first essay of this volume, by creating a historical overview of the dialogue between popular music and literature in Brazil. In the second essay, he broadens the scope of his research by dealing with soccer as a source for the analysis of Brazilian society.
Maquinação do mundo
Neste livro magistral, José Miguel Wisnik percorre a obra de Drummond e a história da mineração naquilo que diz respeito ao poeta, sem nunca perder de vista a potência da poesia como instrumento de percepção alargada e de criação de mundos. Numa viagem circunstancial a Itabira, cidade natal de Drummond, José Miguel Wisnik deparou com traços do passado e sinais contemporâneos que levaram à elaboração de Maquinação do mundo, um dos mais originais e envolventes livros de nossa crítica literária. Ensaísta de mão-cheia, Wisnik identifica na atividade mineradora uma questão crucial para um escritor apegado ao provinciano lugar de origem e ao mesmo tempo marcado por um sentime...

Roots of Brazil
Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's Roots of Brazil is one of the iconic books on Brazilian history, society, and culture. Originally published in 1936, it appears here for the first time in an English language translation with a foreword, "Why Read Roots of Brazil Today?" by Pedro Meira Monteiro, one of the world's leading experts on Buarque de Holanda. Roots of Brazil focuses on the multiple cultural influences that forged twentieth-century Brazil, especially those of the Portuguese, the Spanish, other European colonists, Native Americans, and Africans. Buarque de Holanda argues that all of these originary influences were transformed into a unique Brazilian culture and society—a "transition zon...
Neymar – 2017 Updated Edition
From a young age, Neymar was identified as a future great of world soccer. Since his move to Barcelona in 2013 he has progressed at an unstoppable rate, not simply coping but thriving under the pressure of expectation. Having established himself as a vital prong alongside Messi and Suarez in Barcelona's attack, 2015/16 saw him vying to take the starring role. His performances made his a serious contender for the Ballon d'Or, an award long-dominated by the unfaltering Messi and Ronaldo. It now seems only a matter of time before he adds the accolade to his ever-growing trophy collection. Fully updated and drawing on exclusive interviews with those who have known and worked with him, Neymar paints a compelling picture of the life and career of a global icon.

The Routledge History of Social Protest in Popular Music
The major objective of this collection of 28 essays is to analyze the trends, musical formats, and rhetorical devices used in popular music to illuminate the human condition.

Music Scenes and Migrations
‘Music Scenes and Migrations’ brings together new work from Brazilian and European scholars around the themes of musical place and transnationalism across the Atlantic triangle connecting Brazil, Africa and Europe. Moving beyond now-contested models for conceptualizing international musical relations and hierarchies of powers and influence, such as global/local or centre/periphery, the volume draws attention instead to the role of the city, in particular, in producing, signifying and mediating music-making in the colonial and post-colonial Portuguese-speaking world. In considering the roles played by cities as hubs of cultural intersection, socialization, exchange and transformation; as ...
