Technology And Poetic Creation
An attempt to answer the question of scientific initiation: "can technological instruments change the meaning of poet and poetry?" Technology and poetic creation The objective of this work is to present, as much as possible, the network of relationships of technology and poetic composition, and was proposed in the Scientific Initiation program of the CCHSAE (Center for Human and Social Sciences, Arts and Education) at the Cruzeiro do Sul University, in 2003. Although these relations seem recent, due to the growing development of technologies, in the 20th century, the conclusions demonstrate that technology has always been present, in some way, as an extension of human activities. This indisp...
The Good Dictator I
From de award-winning Portuguese author Gonçalo JN Dias comes a trilogy about the struggle for power An unidentified object parked on the moon - and no one seems to know where it came from.

O Sol Escuro
Silêncio e sons, mares, rios, céu, anjos, lama, pó, estrada, distância, eternidade, tom, arco-íris, chuva, plumas, nuvens, saudade, grafite, solidão, ódio, sentimento, morte, saga, angústia, alegria, dor, lamento, universo, paz, sonhos e amor… São palavras muito citadas nos escritos que passei a escrever desde ainda muito jovem. O sentido de tudo isso está em uma vida presente demais e alheia na intensidade de um desconforto em viver encantos e desencantos, como a minha própria vida fora escrita. Não escrevo bonito, nem alegre – escrevo triste e solitário, mas tão desconcentrado do meu eu, que falo do meu eu com crueldade, com um sentido longínquo – irreal como apalpar uma imagem refletida na parede, numa tela.
Saint Mary From The West
Even not having a “deceased author”, like in The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, Saint Mary From The West develops, with much talent, the elements of the great novel by Machado de Assis, by placing them in a contemporary living that invites the reader to follow the reflections of a narrator character that addresses many themes, references and situations lived by him. Placed before what he calls a “loom of the soul”, he recalls lectures and lecturers of the Philosophical Café of TV Cultura, Nietzsche, Comte, Coldplay, Oswaldo Montenegro, almost always heading to Saint Mary, who shelters his anxieties. Actually, what the narrator character calls “scribbling” is intended to defy...
Urban Mosaics
“A masterpiece that presents us with a high level of artistic and fictional creation, Urban Mosaics indicates a light at the end of the tunnel by focusing the several current problems we’ve faced since the fateful civilization and its discontents foreseen by the men and women who forged psychoanalysis in the late Nineteenth century.” – João Rosa de Castro, writer and translator. “The short stories address discoveries: criminal investigations, love comings and goings and the identity discovery and acceptance.” Michelle Louise Paranhos. Urban Mosaics is a new adult surprising book; by the same author of the novel Incompatível [Incompatible] (Scortecci, 2018)
Roller Coaster Diaries
Finally, the Diary Book, where we find the author’s everyday life, his particularities and reflections that colours the happenings of his daily life. What to say about this writing that many times seems to be unreal for the reader, but that in João Rosa de Castro’s experience appears to have much meaning? The reader is not up to decipher the enigmas nor understand them, but enjoy the words of the writer’s intimacy that lead us to seversal situations lived by him and that he wished to share. Like the writing in which he reveals to be the best hour, the best day, the best month and the best year of his life, or when he discusses the matter drugs based on the discussion held by Maria Rita Kehl in the “Philosophical Café”, or even the confession that he doesn’t know how to console when the matter is death, when he knew of the death of the dog of his Januário’s muse. At last, getting into this book means allowing to open oneself to the perceptions, reflections of its author and enjoy his words.
