Os museus vivem do passado? Então o que acontece quando as exposições retratam algo que ainda está vivo e em constante mudança na nossa sociedade? Durante esta pesquisa, essas foram apenas algumas das perguntas que o autor se fez ao investigar a musealização do universo rural brasileiro. E a resposta depende! Depende de qual faceta do rural está sendo musealizada, depende de quem organizou a exposição e também depende de qual é o objetivo daquela exposição específica. Para além da resposta que se irá encontrar, é certo que o caminho percorrido dentro dessas exposições é visualmente belo e mentalmente estimulante. As principais perspectivas abordadas vieram do Museu Rural Mamédio Francisco Militão, em Inhotim-MG, e do Museu de Artes e Ofícios, em Belo Horizonte-MG, onde a dicotomia entre a representação do campo pelo campo e a representação do campo pela cidade se faz presente, tanto pela sua organização quanto pelos seus ambientes.
Esta Antologia reúne 28 textos em torno dos entrelaçamentos entre dança, cultura visual e políticas do corpo. São ensaios, discursos, textos críticos e de referência, bem como um samba-enredo, escritos por historiadores da dança e da arte, artistas, curadores, coreógrafos e dançarinos. O MASP organizou três seminários internacionais sobre as Histórias da dança entre 2018 e 2020, e 7 dos textos vêm dessas apresentações, enquanto os outros 21 são novas edições e traduções inéditas de textos fundamentais para pensar a dança e a coreografia — que corpos dançam, o que os move, como se movem e como são representados. Esta publicação supre uma lacuna no mercado editorial. Ela é essencial para quem tiver interesse nos debates em torno das relações da dança e as artes visuais e de sua presença nas galerias e museus. A Antologia de textos acompanha o volume Histórias da dança: catálogo, com ensaios e reproduções das obras e performances selecionadas para integrar a exposição coletiva articulada em torno do eixo temático do ano de 2020.
For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this simple alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed, not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences, conducting research on six continents, to reflect on the multiple ways the coronavirus has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Being Alive is the sequel to Neil Astley's Staying Alive, which became Britain's most popular poetry book because it gave readers hundreds of thoughtful and passionate poems about living in the modern world. Now he has assembled this equally lively companion anthology.
This report highlights the issues faced by local areas against the backdrop of policies or planning models that have directed local development in the past decades.
The Object of the Atlantic is a wide-ranging study of the transition from a concern with sovereignty to a concern with things in Iberian Atlantic literature and art produced between 1868 and 1968. Rachel Price uncovers the surprising ways that concrete aesthetics from Cuba, Brazil, and Spain drew not only on global forms of constructivism but also on a history of empire, slavery, and media technologies from the Atlantic world. Analyzing Jose Marti’s notebooks, Joaquim de Sousandrade’s poetry, Ramiro de Maeztu’s essays on things and on slavery, 1920s Cuban literature on economic restructuring, Ferreira Gullar’s theory of the “non-object,” and neoconcrete art, Price shows that the turn to objects—and from these to new media networks—was rooted in the very philosophies of history that helped form the Atlantic world itself.
