A alma encantadora das ruas
Luiz Antonio Simas, convidado da programação oficial da Flip, comenta A alma encantadora das ruas, a obra-prima de João do Rio. João do Rio foi um cronista habilidoso, que entendeu como poucos que sua escrita, mais do que o lustre da boa lira, precisava das pessoas. Essa necessidade, um tanto voraz e viciante, o transformou em ouvinte profissional e nos legou as andanças de um tradutor das ruas. O Rio de Janeiro, a partir de seus textos, deixou de ser a capital de uma República incipiente, que se esforçava em se afrancesar, para se tornar "a cidade de João do Rio". É nesta cidade que nasceu Luiz Antonio Simas, escritor que sempre teve João do Rio como tutor de sua curiosidade rand...
África Brasil
Among the long string of historical albums he created, África Brasil, from 1976, is a milestone in Jorge Ben's career. It is the record in which he definitely swaps the acoustic for the electric guitar. Narrating Jorge Ben's journey, album by album, to África Brasil, the 14th studio LP of his career, the journalist Kamille Viola interviews musicians, producers, researchers and even soccer stars like Zico (honored in the track "Camisa 10 da Gávea" to review the artist's life story and the background details of the album's production. Considered to be the high point in the career of the author of "Umbabarauma", África Brasil comprises alongside A tábua de esmeralda (1974) and Solta o pav...
Coisas nossas
Do coautor de Dicionário da história social do samba, vencedor do Jabuti de melhor livro de não ficção em 2015 e convidado oficial da FLIP deste ano. Coisas nossas, de Luiz Antonio Simas, é uma reunião de crônicas que celebra a cultura de rua do Rio de Janeiro, em especial da Zona Norte e do subúrbio. Simas faz de seus textos uma conversa com o leitor, mostrando as trajetórias de gente comum. Em curtas narrativas focadas nos personagens, transita por uma espiral de causos curiosos que envolvem desde Gerson, um dos maiores pipeiros, ao nada comum funcionário exemplar de Dom João. O autor alinha a paixão pela história e a atração pelo movimento das ruas e pela boemia, e faz destas crônicas um desfile apoteótico, que começa no carnaval e só termina no ano novo. Esta riquíssima seleção – de fina ironia, irreverência e brasilidade – é um presente à cultura popular. Nela, Simas apresenta um Rio não para chamar de seu, mas para chamar de nosso, de coisa nossa.
Religion and Contemporary Art
Religion and Contemporary Art sets the theoretical frameworks and interpretive strategies for exploring the re-emergence of religion in the making, exhibiting, and discussion of contemporary art. Featuring essays from both established and emerging scholars, critics, and artists, the book reflects on what might be termed an "accord" between contemporary art and religion. It explores the common strategies contemporary artists employ in the interface between religion and contemporary art practice. It also includes case studies to provide more in-depth treatments of specific artists grappling with themes such as ritual, abstraction, mythology, the body, popular culture, science, liturgy, and social justice, among other themes. It is a must-read resource for working artists, critics, and scholars in this field, and an invitation to new voices "curious" about its promises and possibilities.
The Primitivist Imaginary in Iberian and Transatlantic Modernisms
Taking into account politics, history, and aesthetics, this edited volume explores the main expressions of primitivism in Iberian and Transatlantic modernisms. Ten case studies are thoroughly analyzed concerning both the circulations and exchanges connecting the Iberian and Latin American artistic and literary milieus with each other and with the Parisian circles. Chapters also examine the patterns and paradoxes associated with the manifestations of primitivism, including their local implications and cosmopolitan drive. This book opens up and deepens the discussion of the ties that Spain and Portugal maintained with their imperial pasts, which extended into European twentieth-century colonia...
Crime and Art
This volume brings together work by authors who draw upon sociological and criminological methods, theory, and frameworks, to produce research that pushes boundaries, considers new questions, and reshape the existing understanding of "art crimes", with a strong emphasis on methodological innovation and novel theory application. Criminologists and sociologists are poorly represented in academic discourse on art and culture related crimes. However, to understand topics like theft, security, trafficking, forgery, vandalism, offender motivation, the efficacy of and results of policy interventions, and the effects art crimes have on communities, we must develop the theoretical and methodological models we use for analyses. The readership of this book is expected to include academics, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of criminology, sociology, law, and heritage studies who have an interest in art and heritage crime.
Brazilian Popular Music and Citizenship
Covering more than one hundred years of history, this multidisciplinary collection of essays illuminates the important links between citizenship, national belonging, and popular music in Brazil.
Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice
There is a common misconception that collections management in museums is a set of rote procedures or technical practices that follow universal standards of best practice. This volume recognises collections management as a political, critical and social project, involving considerable intellectual labour that often goes unacknowledged within institutions and in the fields of museum and heritage studies. Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice brings into focus the knowledges, value systems, ethics and workplace pragmatics that are foundational for this work. Rather than engaging solely with cultural modifications, such as Indigenous care practices, the book presents local knowledg...
O corpo encantado das ruas
Novo livro de Luiz Antonio Simas, referência sobre cultura popular brasileira. As ruas, como vistas por Luiz Antonio Simas, incorporam o movimento. São terreiro de encontros improváveis, território de Exu, que se manifesta na alteridade da fala e na afluência das encruzilhadas. Do Centro ao subúrbio, as tramas das ruas cariocas confundem-se com sua escrita. Se João do Rio foi o cronista da alma encantada carioca do início do século XX, Luiz Antonio Simas aparece, cem anos depois, como o historiador do corpo do Rio de Janeiro atravessado pelas flechas do capital cultural e financeiro global. Por isso, contra a barbárie civilizatória, surgem suspiros e mariolas nas sacolinhas de Sã...
The Mystery of Rio
Rio de Janeiro, 1913. A high-ranking politician is murdered whilst on a visit to an exclusive, sophisticated brothel operating behind the façade of private clinic, and run by a scientist with an obsession for the study of female sexual fantasies. During the investigation, the policeman in charge, himself a regular visitor, is drawn into an erotically charged duel of the mind with the prime suspect. The investigation is a starting point for several stories drawn both from the history and the mythology of Rio.
