At Your Feet
Ana Cristina Cesar (1952-1983) has posthumously become one of Brazil’s best known avant-garde poets. After her suicide in 1983, her innovative, mythic, and dreamlike poetry has greatly influenced subsequent generations of writers. At Your Feet was originally published as a poetic sequence and later became part of a longer hybrid work— sometimes prose, sometimes verse—documenting the life and mind of a forcefully active literary woman. Cesar, who also worked internationally as a journalist and translator, often found inspiration in the writings of other poets, among them Emily Dickinson, Armando Freitas Filho, and Gertrude Stein. Her innovative writing has been featured in Sun and Moon’s classic anthology Nothing the Sun Could Not Explain—20 Contemporary Brazilian Poets (2000). Poet Brenda Hillman and her mother Helen Hillman (a native speaker of Portuguese) worked with Brazilian poet Sebastião Edson Macedo and translator/editor Katrina Dodson to render as faithfully as possible the intricately layered poems of this legendary writer. At Your Feet includes both the English translation and original Portuguese.
The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics
The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by six sections: Perspectives: broad overviews engaging fields such as biosemiosis, kinship praxis, and philosophical approaches; Experiments: formal innovations developed by poets in response to planetary crises; Earth and Water: explorations of poetic entanglement with planetary chemical and biological systems; Waste/Toxicity/Precarity: poetics addressing the effects of pollution and climate change; Environmental Justice and Activism: examinations of poetry as an engine of political and cultural change; Re...
Writing by Ear
Writing by Ear examines the explicit articulation of listening-in-writing found in the work of Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector. The terms "writing by ear," the "aural novel," and "echopoetics" rethink fiction as a poetics of listening to the world.
Literature and Ethics in Contemporary Brazil
Illuminating the relevance of literature as a catalyst for rethinking Brazil, this book offers a resistance to the official discourses that have worked to conceal social tensions, injustices, and secular inequities in Brazilian society.
The Edinburgh Companion to Women in Publishing, 1900–2020
Women's creative labour in publishing has often been overlooked. This book draws on dynamic new work in feminist book history and publishing studies to offer the first comparative collection exploring women's diverse, deeply embedded work in modern publishing. Highlighting the value of networks, collaboration, and archives, the companion sets out new ways of reading women's contributions to the production and circulation of global print cultures. With an international, intergenerational set of contributors using diverse methodologies, essays explore women working in publishing transatlantically, on the continent, and beyond the Anglosphere. The book combines new work on high-profile women publishers and editors alongside analysis of women's work as translators, illustrators, booksellers, advertisers, patrons, and publisher's readers; complemented by new oral histories and interviews with leading women in publishing today. The first collection of its kind, the companion helps establish and shape a thriving new research field.
Arquetípica v.1
Não dar a voz, porque “voz já temos”, mas lutar pelo lugar de fala. Nossa apresentação será bem sucinta, e de relevância sentimental, ao falar do primeiro volume da Arquetípica Revista. Nesse projeto emaranhado por sonhos literários e concretizações de outros projetos, a conversa junto à entrevistada, Júlia de Carvalho Hansen; a publicação do livro de antologias “Mulheres”, em abril de 2018; fatores que nos fizeram nadar por esse tema, que nos sufocaram, pouco a pouco, pois as dores não paravam de serem sentidas. A conversa e convite feito a psicóloga Natália Rodrigues trouxe um resgate, analítico, sobre o quanto todos os nossos arquétipos não se encaixam nem mesm...
Visualizing Loss in Latin America
Visualizing Loss in Latin America engages with a varied corpus of textual, visual, and cultural material with specific intersections with the natural world, arguing that Latin American literary and cultural production goes beyond ecocriticism as a theoretical framework of analysis. Gisela Heffes poses the following crucial question: How do we construct a conceptual theoretical apparatus to address issues of value, meaning, tradition, perspective, and language, that contributes substantially to environmental thinking, and that is part and parcel of Latin America? The book draws attention to ecological inequality and establishes a biopolitical, ethics-based reading of Latin American art, film, and literature that operates at the intersection of the built environment and urban settings. Heffes suggests that the aesthetic praxis that emerges in/from Latin America is permeated with a rhetoric of waste—a significant trait that overwhelmingly defines it.
A sátira e o engenho
Os românticos retrataram Gregório de Matos como um escritor ébrio, boêmio e obsceno. Afastando-se desses clichês, Hansen analisou a obra do poeta barroco em confronto com a retórica do período, com suas regras específicas de obscenidade e maledicência. O autor, professor da USP, apresenta também um rico painel cultural e político da Bahia oitocentista. Para isso, comenta tratados retóricos e documentos da época, como denúncias contra Gregório ao Santo Ofício e atas da Câmara de Salvador. Coedição: Editora Unicamp
Escrever de ouvido
No primeiro parágrafo de “Perto do Coração Selvagem” (1943) aparece “uma orelha à escuta, grande, cor-de-rosa e morta”. Em “A hora da estrela” (1977), o narrador diz “[eu] escrevo de ouvido”. Dessas duas frases, nasceu este livro, escrito quando a autora ensinava literatura brasileira na Universidade de Stanford. Publicado em inglês, o livro chega agora, finalmente, de volta à origem de sua língua materna, em tradução de Jamille Pinheiro Dias e Sheyla Miranda. O livro de Marília Librandi pensa a literatura brasileira pela sua capacidade de escuta e pelas reverberações éticas, estéticas e poéticas do imaginário. Clarice Lispector é lida como ficcionista e como...
Na Poesia Viva
Observar a ação em pleno ato. A priori nos parece muito difícil criarmos parâmetros suficientes para refletirmos o momento enquanto o próprio movimento acontece, no entanto, por muitas vezes, é exatamente ali que essa oportunidade surge em sua mais ávida forma de razão. O poeta e jornalista Igor Calazans reúne nessa obra uma série de entrevistas com 40 poetas, das mais diferentes vertentes e regiões do Brasil, para inquietar suas percepções sobre a produção poética contemporânea em nosso país. São 400 respostas para 10 perguntas iguais e que proporcionarão ao leitor de hoje e, quem sabe, do amanhã, a impressão mais presencial possível de quem pensa e faz poesia na atua...
