Muito além das palavras: leituras multimodais a partir da semiótica social
Vale ressaltar que levar o leitor a perceber que o mundo do significado é multimodal – a partir de análises de diferentes textos, reforçando o pressuposto de que textos são compostos de significados sociais nos diferentes contextos, por meio de diferentes recursos e modos semióticos e são, portanto, multimodais – nos leva a crer que o livro Muito além das palavras: leituras multimodais a partir da semiótica social configura-se, portanto, uma leitura obrigatória a todos que se aventuram nesse espaço de discussões.

Machado de Assis
Novelist, poet, playwright, and short story writer Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839–1908) is widely regarded as Brazil's greatest writer, although his work is still too little read outside his native country. In this first comprehensive English-language examination of Machado since Helen Caldwell's seminal 1970 study, K. David Jackson reveals Machado de Assis as an important world author, one of the inventors of literary modernism whose writings profoundly influenced some of the most celebrated authors of the twentieth century, including José Saramago, Carlos Fuentes, and Donald Barthelme. Jackson introduces a hitherto unknown Machado de Assis to readers, illuminating the remarkable life, work, and legacy of the genius whom Susan Sontag called “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America” and whom Allen Ginsberg hailed as “another Kafka.” Philip Roth has said of him that “like Beckett, he is ironic about suffering.” And Harold Bloom has remarked of Machado that “he's funny as hell.”
A Poverty of Rights
A Poverty of Rights examines the history of poor people's citizenship in Rio from the 1920s through the 1960s, the 20th-century period that most critically shaped urban development, social inequality, and the meaning of law and rights in modern Brazil.
Saúde Mental e Relações Raciais
De maneira muito original, o autor traz uma perspectiva interseccional para o debate sobre a loucura no Brasil. Demonstra como o racismo está engendrado nos mecanismos de manicomialização e como o ambiente social age para tornar vulneráveis pessoas negras, indígenas, condição social e também mulheres e LGBTQIA+. A partir de conceitos como desnorteamento, descolonização e aquilombação, e apoiado em sua própria atuação como trabalhador na Rede de Atenção Psicossocial ligada ao SUS, Emiliano de Camargo David faz uma defesa contundente pelo fim das internações e pelo desmonte dos manicômios, em favor da construção de um sistema coordenado de atenção e cuidado à saúde me...
Vale of Tears
The massacre of Canudos In 1897 is a pivotal episode in Brazilian social history. Looking at the event through the eyes of the inhabitants, Levine challenges traditional interpretations and gives weight to the fact that most of the Canudenses were of mixed-raced descent and were thus perceived as opponents to progress and civilization. In 1897 Brazilian military forces destroyed the millenarian settlement of Canudos, murdering as many as 35,000 pious rural folk who had taken refuge in the remote northeast backlands of Brazil. Fictionalized in Mario Vargas Llosa's acclaimed novel, War at the End of the World, Canudos is a pivotal episode in Brazilian social history. When looked at through the...
Literary Culture and U.S. Imperialism
John Carlos Rowe, considered one of the most eminent and progressive critics of American literature, has in recent years become instrumental in shaping the path of American studies. His latest book examines literary responses to U.S. imperialism from the late eighteenth century to the 1940s. Interpreting texts by Charles Brockden Brown, Poe, Melville, John Rollin Ridge, Twain, Henry Adams, Stephen Crane, W. E. B Du Bois, John Neihardt, Nick Black Elk, and Zora Neale Hurston, Rowe argues that U.S. literature has a long tradition of responding critically or contributing to our imperialist ventures. Following in the critical footsteps of Richard Slotkin and Edward Said, Literary Culture and U.S. Imperialism is particularly innovative in taking account of the public and cultural response to imperialism. In this sense it could not be more relevant to what is happening in the scholarship, and should be vital reading for scholars and students of American literature and culture.
