Vivos na memória
A partir do convívio próximo fruído e com um olhar sempre afetuoso, a crítica literária Leyla Perrone-Moisés nos apresenta perfis de grandes figuras das letras e das artes, algumas mais célebres que outras, mas todas à sua maneira essenciais para a sua formação. "Eu não tenho nada de especial para contar a meu respeito, mas tenho muito a contar sobre pessoas que conheci", diz Leyla Perrone-Moisés. Se a negativa no início da citação é bastante questionável, a segunda oração é de uma verdade acachapante. Nesta singela reverência ao convívio, ao diálogo e ao intercâmbio de ideias, a autora nos conduz por aventuras intelectuais mas também por aspectos mais mundanos de figuras como Samsor Flexor, Décio de Almeida Prado, Antonio Candido, Roland Barthes, Haroldo de Campos, Cortázar, Leminski, Saramago, Derrida, Lévi-Strauss, entre muitos outros, por um ângulo original e inusitado. Ao leitor trata-se de rara oportunidade: de vislumbrar essas vidas em contextos muitas vezes inéditos (em que se destacam a intimidade ou saborosas anedotas do cotidiano), sem prejuízo da fina análise e da verve narrativa pelas quais se tornou conhecida a grande crítica.

Fernando Pessoa
A Critical Introduction proposes a new didactic and dynamic way of reading the great twentieth-century poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). The aim is to present a holistic vision of this complex poet, promoting his literary geniality in order to better understand his orthonymic-heteronymic poetry. A guiding motif is Pessoa's own Be as plural as the universe. In leading the reader through the poet's published literary work, Jerónimo Pizarro allows an intimate perspective, alongside an academic one, to better understand the workings of Pessoa's mind and life. Discussion centres on the dilemmas an editor faces when editing posthumously. A prime question revolves around the genesis of Pessoa's he...
A Ficção da Escrita
A única pista disponível para conhecer as últimas propostas do escritor Georges Perec (1936-1982) é o manuscrito de 53 Jours, que ele escrevia antes de falecer. O enredo do romance é o sumiço de um autor fictício, cujo paradeiro só pode ser descoberto pelo manuscrito que ele produzia antes de desaparecer. Cláudia Amigo Pino, professora da USP, traça um paralelo entre realidade e ficção para desvendar o processo criativo de um dos mais importantes autores da literatura francesa contemporânea.

The Exhaustion of Difference
The conditions for thinking about Latin America as a regional unit in transnational academic discourse have shifted over the past decades. In The Exhaustion of Difference Alberto Moreiras ponders the ramifications of this shift and draws on deconstruction, Marxian theory, philosophy, political economy, subaltern studies, literary criticism, and postcolonial studies to interrogate the minimal conditions for an effective critique of knowledge given the recent transformations of the contemporary world. What, asks Moreiras, is the function of critical reason in the present moment? What is regionalistic knowledge in the face of globalization? Can regionalistic knowledge be an effective tool for a...

The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.
