Esta publicação reúne um conjunto de reflexões sobre a fecundidade do pensamento de Paulo Freire no mundo contemporâneo nas diferentes interfaces com a área da educação e das ciências humanas, principalmente considerando os desafios das pesquisas na perspectiva interdisciplinar. O livro está estruturado em treze capítulos, que apresentam os principais temas trabalhados no Seminário oferecido no PPGEDU da UFRGS no ano de 2019, tais como: a Pedagogia da Esperança em tempos de ódio e fascismos sociais – a dimensão ético-política da Educação – por uma pedagogia das marchas – uma pedagogia interdisciplinar segundo Paulo Freire e os temas geradores – a construção de redes freireanas na luta política de humanização do mundo.
Este livro foi preparado a partir de experiências político-educativas que atuam para desestabilizar relações de poder, despertar questionamentos, inspirar a organização coletiva, promover o diálogo-luta e o conhecimento crítico compartilhado. Nossa ferramenta de subversão é a Rede Emancipa de Educação Popular. Mas não só. Viemos alimentar a tensão criativa entre a educação popular e a universidade. Este é um livro-síntese, um objeto político que agrega diversas celebrações. Com ele, comemoramos os quinze anos da Rede Emancipa, os cinco anos da Universidade Emancipa e os cem anos de Paulo Freire, em um único volume. É uma coletânea polifônica, construída por 65 auto...
Mais do que revelar invisibilidades, mazelas e complexidades sociais nunca antes manifestadas, a pandemia do SARS-CoV-2 trouxe à tona a imensa fragilidade daquilo que chamamos de civilização. Não obstante, os desdobramentos arrasadores provocados pelo avanço da doença esgarçaram as estruturas vivenciais, às quais estávamos historicamente atados, e revelaram, de forma concreta, as inexoráveis relações de interdependência que regem o tecido social, indo de encontro com a atitude egoística e individualista que tem despontado mais e mais na sociedade contemporânea. A nosso juízo, de um lado, a pandemia criou as condições objetivas para acentuar a desigualdade social e, do outro...
'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.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
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 ...
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, Rania, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.
