Este livro reúne parte do conjunto poético de Maria Estela Guedes, poetisa portuguesa reconhecida mundialmente pela relevância de sua obra. "O conjunto poético de Estela Guedes contido neste livro reúne a maior parte de sua produção, como se verá ao longo da leitura. Todavia, exige de nós algumas renúncias. Entre elas, a nossa colaboração não somente meramente subjetiva. E sim a nossa receptividade para a inovação e alto grau de experimentação. Aquela que nos desestabiliza e nos conduz a trilhas inimagináveis ou reservas de sensibilidade que antes, talvez, jamais teríamos suspeitado que existiam dentro de nós mesmos! O reconhecimento autêntico do mais subterrâneo que nos habita." Ana Maria Haddad Baptista
This edited collection presents the first critical and historical overview of photography in Portuguese colonial Africa to an English-speaking audience. Photography in Portuguese Colonial Africa, 1860–1975 brings together sixteen scholars from interdisciplinary fields as varied as history, anthropology, art history, visual culture and museum studies, to consider some of the key aspects in the visual representation of the longest-lasting European colonial empire in the African continent. The chapters span over two centuries and cover five formerly colonial territories – Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe – deploying a range of methodologies to explore the multiple meanings and the contested uses of the photographic image across the realms of politics, science, culture and war. This book responds to a marked surge of international interest in the relationship between photography and colonialism, which has hitherto largely overlooked the Portuguese imperial context, by delivering the most recent scholarly findings to a broad readership.
As it happens with other early-Modern corpora, the descriptive texts from sixteenth-century encounters of the Portuguese colonizers in Brazil are well-known for their strangeness. In them we find references to entities like monsters and demons, bizarre descriptions, and odd classification systems of plants and animals. Modern scholars usually dismiss these elements as mere eccentricities. Instead, this book takes these elements seriously. They are focused on and tackled with a theoretical tool-styles of thinking- developed in the fields of philosophy and history of science. By doing so the book aims to unveil epistemological and ontological issues in which colonial and post-colonial studies ...
Despite the numerous studies of the politics, economy, culture, and society of the Estado Novo, the relations established between publishers, authors, and governmental institutions and their contribution to the making of the literary canon are still marginal subjects of analysis. Based on the systems theories developed by Bourdieu, Dubois and Even-Zohar, this study focuses on the cultural production produced during the Estado Novo (1933-1974) and after the Revolution (1974-2004), within their political, economic and social framework. The chapters on José Saramago and José Luís Peixoto show them as examples of literary consecration that confirm the systemic relations in the Portuguese literary field. This research makes use of a survey on habits of purchase of Portuguese fiction, interviews with publishers, original statistical analyses, and takes a new approach to the study of Portuguese literature.
A collection of comparative studies on the reception, response, and appropriation of the periodic system of elements in eleven countries.

A boa nova está em vossas mãos, caro leitor. Abra este livro numa página qualquer, respire devagar ao menos uma vez, entreabra um pouco mais a fresta dos cinco sentidos e, por fim, entregue-se à leitura dos versos ocasionais. Logo se surpreenderá a testemunhar um pensamento que parte de mãos atentas e delicadas, capazes de uma arte rara: a de tomar e torcer as palavras até o ponto em que cantam. Herberto Helder é um poeta vizinho do encantamento. Acredita na poesia como um “talento doloroso e obscuro”, a ser exercido com a liberdade necessária para que os sentimentos essenciais encontrem abrigo nos poemas. Deparamo-nos então com os dizeres comovidos, cantantes, mobilizados em t...
