Graciliano Ramos and the Making of Modern Brazil
Graciliano Ramos and the Making of Modern Brazil brings updated criticism in English on the work of the prominent Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos (1892–1953), a key figure in understanding the making of modern Brazil. Building on existing literature, this book innovates through chapters that consider issues such as Ramos’s dialogue with literary tradition, his cultural legacy for contemporary writers, and his treatment of racial discrimination and gender inequality through the multifarious, provocative and enduringly fascinating characters he created. The volume also addresses the question of Ramos’s political involvement during the years of the Getulio Vargas government (1930–45), to revisit established readings of the author’s politics. Through close reading of individual works as well as comparative analyses, this volume takes readers into the complexities of modernisation in Brazil, and highlights the writer’s significance for our understanding of Brazil today.
Gendered Memories
How does gender shape memory? What role does literature play in cultural remembering? These are two of the questions to which the present volume is addressed.

So, do women and men remember different events, narrate different stories, and narrate or read them in different ways? Gendered Memories, then, not only looks at memory gendered by literature, but also wants to know how gender shapes the memory of literature.
Gender, Discourse, and Desire in Twentieth-Century Brazilian Women's Literature
This study by Cristina Ferreira-Pinto explores the poetic and narrative strategies twentieth-century Brazilian women writers use to achieve new forms of representation of the female body, sexuality, and desire. Female writers discussed include: Gilka Machado, Lygia Fagundes Telles, Marcia Denser, and Marina Colasanti. While creating new forms, these writers are also deconstructing cultural myths of femininity and female behavior. In order to understand these myths, the book also presents new readings of some male-authored canonical novels by Jose de Alencar, Machado de Assis, Manuel Antonio de Almeida, and Aluisio Azevedo. The specific focus on female sexuality and desire acknowledges the in...

Clarice Lispector Apesar De
Mediante estudo percuciente do texto, Jeronimo expõe ao leitor que forma e conteúdo trabalham em consonância em Uma aprendizagem ou o livro dos prazeres. Se a primeira organiza a ossatura do relato para dar ensejo ao gênero Bildungsroman, o segundo exibe-se concernente ao tema da busca identitária, adequando-se à perfeição à estrutura narrativa, prenhe em diálogos e solilóquios. A análise desses recursos discursivos e dos traços estéticos neles inscritos apresenta um novo olhar a essa obra de Clarice Lispector. A escolha de um escritor canônico, que poderia ser uma tarefa temerária à possibilidade de oferecer uma contribuição relevante à academia, resulta num estudo insti...
