Rindo de nervoso
A gente percebe a que ponto o Brasil chegou quando sites criados para postarem notícias ficcionais absurdas começam a perder a graça por não conseguirem competir com a realidade em nível de surrealismo. Mas, como dizia aquela velha propaganda ao som da música do Raul Seixas, “o brasileiro não desiste nunca”, e já surgiram por aí artistas de diversas artes correndo atrás do prejuízo para nos devolver o riso. Da charge ao deepfake, passando pelo meme e a paródia, novas obras pululam todos os dias na internet ajudando-nos a aliviar a tensão gerada pela somatória de uma pandemia com um desgoverno, e provando mais uma vez que rir é o melhor remédio. A ideia de uma antologia qu...
Contos fantásticos coreanos
"Das muitas formas de se viajar à Coreia, "Contos Fantásticos Coreanos" oferece oferece uma das mais mágicas de todas: a leitura de contos. A cada página, cada capítulo, o leitor poderá mergulhar mais e mais nesse mundo tão curioso e místico. Através das linhas escritas por Im Bang e Yi Ryuk e traduzidas primeiramente em inglês por J. S. Gale e agora em português por Ana Ramuski, Felipe Medeiros e Lua Cyríaco, o leitor não só viajará pelo mundo fantástico e assombrado das mais variadas lendas coreanas - desde sacerdotes iluminados a gatos selvagens -, mas também viajará pela cultura tradicional e pela história de homens ilustres e acontecimentos marcantes desse país tão distante, inseridos ao final dos contos em notas e esclarecimentos históricos." Melina Valente Inácio (prefaciadora) Neste livro trazemos 55 contos registrados por Im Bang e Yi Riuk, registrados entre os séculos XVII e XVIII, traduzidos e reunidos por J. S. Gale em 1913 em uma edição inédita no Brasil.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Combinatorics '86
Recent developments in all aspects of combinatorial and incidence geometry are covered in this volume, including their links with the foundations of geometry, graph theory and algebraic structures, and the applications to coding theory and computer science. Topics covered include Galois geometries, blocking sets, affine and projective planes, incidence structures and their automorphism groups. Matroids, graph theory and designs are also treated, along with weak algebraic structures such as near-rings, near-fields, quasi-groups, loops, hypergroups etc., and permutation sets and groups. The vitality of combinatorics today lies in its important interactions with computer science. The problems which arise are of a varied nature and suitable techniques to deal with them have to be devised for each situation; one of the special features of combinatorics is the often sporadic nature of solutions, stemming from its links with number theory. The branches of combinatorics are many and various, and all of them are represented in the 56 papers in this volume.

Provenance and Early Cinema
Remnants of early films often have a story to tell. As material artifacts, these film fragments are central to cinema history, perhaps more than ever in our digital age of easy copying and sharing. If a digital copy is previewed before preservation or is shared with a researcher outside the purview of a film archive, knowledge about how the artifact was collected, circulated, and repurposed threatens to become obscured. When the question of origin is overlooked, the story can be lost. Concerned contributors in Provenance and Early Cinema challenge scholars digging through film archives to ask, "How did these moving images get here for me to see them?" This volume, which features the conference proceedings from Domitor, the International Society for the Study of Early Cinema, 2018, questions preservation, attribution, and patterns of reuse in order to explore singular artifacts with long and circuitous lives.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
The Taming of the Canaanite Woman
Current reception histories emphasize the world of Biblical readers, their socio-historical contexts, and the myriad effects of Biblical exegesis. This reception history studies interpretations of Jesus’ encounter with a Canaanite woman (Matt 15:21–28) as normative “scripts” that exhort specific types of compliance in a broad range of historical and cultural settings, revealing remarkably diverse understandings of Christian identity and community.
