Honor, Status, and Law in Modern Latin America
This collection brings together recent scholarship that examines how understandings of honor changed in Latin America between political independence in the early nineteenth century and the rise of nationalist challenges to liberalism in the 1930s. These rich historical case studies reveal the uneven processes through which ideas of honor and status came to depend more on achievements such as education and employment and less on the birthright privileges that were the mainstays of honor during the colonial period. Whether considering court battles over lost virginity or police conflicts with prostitutes, vagrants, and the poor over public decorum, the contributors illuminate shifting ideas ab...

Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil
Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil introduces recent Brazilian scholarship to English-language readers, providing fresh perspectives on newspaper and periodical culture in the Brazilian empire from 1822 to 1889. Through a multifaceted exploration of the periodical press, contributors to this volume offer new insights into the workings of Brazilian power, culture, and public life. Collectively arguing that newspapers are contested projects rather than stable recordings of daily life, individual chapters demonstrate how the periodical press played a prominent role in creating and contesting hierarchies of race, gender, class, and culture. Contributors challenge traditional views of newspapers and magazines as mechanisms of state- and nation-building. Rather, the scholars in this volume view them as integral to current debates over the nature of Brazil. Including perspectives from Brazil's leading scholars of the periodical press, this volume will be the starting point for future scholarship on print culture for years to come.

Louco ou Obsedado? Psiquiatria e Espiritismo no Brasil (1883-1927)
"A loucura, objeto dos meus estudos, era até agora uma ilha perdida no oceano da razão. Começo a suspeitar que é um continente:" foi essa a provocação machadiana, presente em O Alienista, que Igor Morais da Silva escolheu para abrir a obra que ora vem à prensa. Não poderia ser ideia mais acertada. Isso porque o jovem historiador, no estudo que é fruto de seu mestrado em História, nos conduz por esse espaço continental tendo como destino desvelar a relação entre a psiquiatria e o espiritismo no Brasil entre as décadas finais do Oitocentos e a autora do século XX. Como bússola, toma a interrogação que dá título ao livro – Louco ou obsedado? – para explorar como se pavim...
Do vivido ao escrito
Este livro, em diálogo com a crítica literária, abriga uma síntese das reflexões nascidas em virtude dos estudos realizados sobre as obras Diário do hospício e O cemitério dos vivos, de Lima Barreto. Ambas desconstruíram percepções romantizadas acerca da loucura e seu tratamento nas instituições manicomiais, alegorias do desamparo a que estavam sujeitados toda sorte de inadaptados sociais que compunham a população do Brasil, nos idos da implementação e consolidação do regime republicano. Quando escolheu o espaço do hospício para dar vida aos enredos, não quis projetar, como muito se cogitou, a particularidade de suas experiências. Muito mais do que uma dor singular, se...
