Charting a New Course
For decades F. H. Cardoso has been among the most influential of Latin American scholars, his writings on globalization, dependency, and politics having reached a world-wide audience. This book, the third by Cardoso to appear in English, is the first to incorporate essays written during his tenure as president of Brazil. The transformation of Cardoso's economic and political approach is nowhere better documented than in this broad-ranging collection of writings that span Cardoso's early theoretical work through his pragmatic agenda for Brazil in a rapidly changing world economy. The book also traces the development of one of the world's leading intellectuals, who took theory into the arena of policy when he became head of state.
Lugar periférico, ideias modernas
Lugar periférico, ideias modernas, do sociólogo Fabio Mascaro Querido, é uma análise sobre os intelectuais ligados à Universidade de São Paulo dos anos 1960 à década de 1990. Resultado da tese de livre-docência do autor, defendida em dezembro de 2022 na Unicamp, a obra revela como a vertente "marxista acadêmica" exerceu significativa influência nos debates sobre a abertura democrática dos anos 1980 e na vida política brasileira nas décadas seguintes. O livro examina como alguns personagens representaram simultaneamente o auge e o declínio do pensamento sobre a modernidade no país. Durante os anos 1970, em plena ditadura civil-militar, surgiram análises sofisticadas sobre as ...

Fire Alarm
This illuminating study of Benjamin's final essay helps unlock the mystery of this great philosopher. Revolutionary critic of the philosophy of progress, nostalgic of the past yet dreaming of the future, romantic partisan of materialism-Walter Benjamin is in every sense of the word an "unclassifiable" philosopher. His last text was written in a state of urgency, as he attempted to escape the Gestapo in 1940, before finally committing suicide. "On the Concept of History" is one of the most important philosophical and political writings of the twentieth century, argues Michael Löwy in this scrupulous, clear and fascinating examination. Löwy uses the concept of "elective affinity," the mutual attraction between two cultural figures, derived from the amorous encounter of two souls in Goethe's novel Elective Affinities. Looking in detail at Benjamin's celebrated but often mysterious text, and restoring the philosophical, theological and political context, Löwy strives to understand and highlight the complex relationship between redemption and revolution in Benjamin's philosophy of history.
