This volume presents a survey of the reception of Greek myths - including Antigone, Medea, the Trojan cycle, and Alcestis - in Brazilian literature and stage performance. The collection addresses the work of many innovative authors, some of them great names of Brazilian literature, such as Jorge Andrade and Nelson Rodrigues, who are influential in this specific area of classical reception and well known by modern audiences. This unique volume is the product of collaboration of many scholars with different affiliations under the coordination of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte), two of the most prestigious universities in Brazil for the study of Classical and Reception Studies.
Hydrogels, as three-dimensional polymer networks, are able to retain a large amount of water in their swollen state. The biomedical application of hydrogels was initially hampered by the toxicity of cross-linking agents and the limitations of hydrogel formation under physiological conditions. However, emerging knowledge in polymer chemistry and an increased understanding of biological processes have resulted in the design of versatile materials and minimally invasive therapies.The novel but challenging properties of hydrogels are attracting the attention of researchers in the biological, medical, and pharmaceutical fields. In the last few years, new methods have been developed for the prepar...
This edited collection examines a new phase in the creation of transnational high-end drama in television’s current multiplatform era. Fuelled by the wider international exposure that internet distribution has brought to TV shows, this phase for high-end drama is one of unprecedented budgets and costs, frequent transnational coproduction and increased cultural diversification. While this drama continues to be facilitated by national broadcasters, fuelling the above trio of influences upon it has been the commissioning activity of multinational subscription-video-on-demand (SVoD) providers. This book showcases leading examples of transnational TV drama, produced outside the US, yet involving collaboration with US-owned SVoDs. It foregrounds some new potentials for drama creation in the context of its strategic importance to providers as different as national broadcasters and multinational SVoDs. This book helps to explain why today’s high-end dramas are demonstrating new elements of cultural specificity despite their common objective to engage a diverse international audience.

O que é ser ator/atriz, hoje, perante a pluralidade da encenação contemporânea? Eis a pergunta cerne deste trabalho e um convite à reflexão. Evocando a voz de alguns atores e atrizes por meio de cartas e entrevistas, depondo suas histórias, seu tempo e suas relações com o fazer teatro em seu país, o texto apresenta um panorama das transformações políticas no Brasil desde o processo de formação do impeachment em 2016 e a polarização política instaurada no país, descrevendo seus impactos na arte brasileira, relatando ataques de censura e o desmonte das políticas públicas da arte, bem como o agravamento da situação do artista devido à pandemia. Com esse trajeto, busca-se refletir sobre princípios éticos para o ator e para a atriz em seu tempo, os quais podem constituir um teatro para o futuro.
The essays in this collection provide in-depth analyses of Samuel Beckett's major works in the context of his international presence and circulation, particularly the translation, adaptation, appropriation and cultural reciprocation of his oeuvre. A Nobel Prize winner who published and self-translated in both French and English across literary genres, Beckett is recognized on a global scale as a preeminent author and dramatist of the 20th century. Samuel Beckett as World Literature brings together a wide range of international contributors to share their perspectives on Beckett's presence in countries such as China, Japan, Serbia, India and Brazil, among others, and to flesh out Beckett's relationship with postcolonial literatures and his place within the 'canon' of world literature.

A partir de sua experiência com grupos de teatro que utilizam o espaço urbano como cenário e tema, Evaldo Mocarzel analisa os processos criativos colaborativos e as "fissuras" (improvisações, pesquisas, questões relativas ao espaço selecionado, reação do público) que eles produzem nos textos e que geram o que ele chama de "dramaturgias fraturadas".
