In Defence of the Faith
Recounting an insider's perspective of the turbulent historical currents of late eighteenth-century Brazil.
Amazons, Wives, Nuns, and Witches
The Roman Catholic church played a dominant role in colonial Brazil, so that women’s lives in the colony were shaped and constrained by the Church’s ideals for pure women, as well as by parallel concepts in the Iberian honor code for women. Records left by Jesuit missionaries, Roman Catholic church officials, and Portuguese Inquisitors make clear that women’s daily lives and their opportunities for marriage, education, and religious practice were sharply circumscribed throughout the colonial period. Yet these same documents also provide evocative glimpses of the religious beliefs and practices that were especially cherished or independently developed by women for their own use, constit...
A (re)construção da mulher contemporânea
Quem é a mulher contemporânea? É a mulher que reflete e age de forma contrária ao senso comum. É aquela que enxerga e tenta minimizar as problemáticas que envolvem o universo feminino enraizadas na nossa sociedade patriarcal. Aquela que "mete a colher" em assunto de marido e mulher. É a que não deixa uma amiga ir para casa sozinha. A mulher que decide não ter filhos ou não se casar. É a mãe solo. Aquela que está nos espaços de produção científica e combate à invisibilidade da mulher na ciência. É a mulher que sabe da inexistência de limite de idade para entrar na Universidade ou estar em qualquer espaço. A que não vivencia as problemáticas enfrentadas pelas mulheres n...
Legentes
Em comemoração aos sete anos de sua atuação, o Grupo de Pesquisa Direito e Literatura: um olhar para as questões humanas e sociais a partir da Literatura - LEGENTES (PUC Minas/CNPq) traz a público LEGENTES: desconstrução e caminhos outros para ler em Direito e Literatura. O livro é uma construção compartilhada, da qual participam, exclusivamente, pesquisadores que integram as atividades do grupo de pesquisa, inclusive aquelas vinculadas às formações stricto sensu, desde a formalização do grupo junto ao CNPq, em dezembro de 2014. Cabe a organização à Profa Dra. Luciana Pimenta, colíder do LEGENTES, e à Profa Dra. Hilda Helena Soares Bentes, pesquisadora do grupo, uma das primeiras pesquisadoras em Direito e Literatura no Brasil. Considerando que o LEGENTES vem se dedicando, desde sua criação, à pesquisa em Direito e Literatura e à desconstrução, a partir de leituras da obra do filósofo francês Jacques Derrida, destaca-se a marca singular nas pesquisas de Direito e Literatura desenvolvidas pelo grupo: o olhar e o desejo de desconstrução.
Agents of Orthodoxy
The Portuguese Inquisition is often portrayed as a tyrannical institution that imposed itself on an unsuspecting and impotent society. The men who ran it are depicted as unprincipled bandits and ruthless spies who gleefully dragged their neighbors away to rot in dark, pestilential prisons. In this new study, based on extensive archival research, James E. Wadsworth challenges these myths by focusing on the lay and clerical officials who staffed the Inquisition in colonial Pernambuco, one of Brazil's oldest, wealthiest, and most populated colonies. He argues that the Inquisition was an integral part of colonial society and that it reflected and reinforced deeply held social and religious value...

Slavery in Brazil
This is the first complete modern survey of the institution of slavery in Brazil and how it affected the lives of enslaved Africans. It is based on major new research on the institution of slavery and the role of Africans and their descendants in Brazil. This book aims to introduce the reader to this latest research, both to elucidate the Brazilian experience and to provide a basis for comparisons with all other American slave systems.
