A fotografia é um documento de arquivo. Esse é o fio condutor deste livro e sobre o qual o leitor caminhará. Este fio condutor levará o leitor para duas vias: Reflexões e Vivências, elas refletem, por sua vez, como observou Philippe Dubois a diversidade de abordagens, do pensamento e da prática da fotografia. A abordagem privilegiada, nesse caso, é a da arquivologia, ou ainda, uma abordagem interdisciplinar que contempla a fotografia como documento de arquivo relacionada a ciência da informação, a diplomática, a história, a sociologia, a linguística, a tecnologia. Esta interdisciplinaridade, não está tão somente na via das Reflexões, ela também é aspecto presente na via das Vivências. Há, então, uma tessitura criada por cada autor no sentido de proporcionar um amplo campo do conhecimento sobre o fotográfico, é, afinal, dele que se fala, escreve, lê, pratica.

Cross-cultural encounters in Europe and Asia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries brought the potential for bafflement, hostility, and admiration. The court was the crucial site where expanding Eurasian states and empires met and were forced to make sense of one another. By looking at these interactions, Courtly Encounters provides a fresh cross-cultural perspective on the worlds of early modern Islam, Counter-Reformation Catholicism, Protestantism, and a newly emergent Hindu sphere. Both individual agents and objects such as texts and paintings helped mediate encounters between courts, which possessed rules and conventions that required decipherment and translation, whether in words o...
Sexuality and the Unnatural in Colonial Latin America brings together a broad community of scholars to explore the history of illicit and alternative sexualities in Latin AmericaÕs colonial and early national periods. Together the essays examine how "the unnaturalÓ came to inscribe certain sexual acts and desires as criminal and sinful, including acts officially deemed to be Òagainst natureÓÑsodomy, bestiality, and masturbationÑalong with others that approximated the unnaturalÑhermaphroditism, incest, sex with the devil, solicitation in the confessional, erotic religious visions, and the desecration of holy images. In doing so, this anthology makes important and necessary contributions to the historiography of gender and sexuality. Amid the growing politicized interest in broader LGBTQ movements in Latin America, the essays also show how these legal codes endured to make their way into post-independence Latin America.Ê
