Current Trends in the Historiography of Inquisitions
This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.

Music in Imperial Rio de Janeiro
This resource is an interesting look at how European culture, particularly European music, related to the social and cultural experiences of the residents of ninteenth-century Rio de Janeiro. The focus is on how Cariocas (residents of Rio de Janeiro) responded to and often imitated different musical styles imported from Europe. After introducing the local musical setting and showing how musical life in imperial Rio de Janeiro reflected Parisian models, the author discusses the importation of operatic repertory, the use of German classical music as the basis of an elite social class, the role of European music in Brazilian theater, and finally, the emergence of a "national" music. Overall, this study reveals European music as a powerful force in the internal processes of political, cultural, social, and ethnic negotiations during the 19th century government of Emperor Pedro II. Musicologists, Latin American historians, and anyone with an interest in urban studies will find much of interest in this book.
Religious Conflict in Brazil
The story of how Brazilian Catholics and Protestants confronted one of the greatest shocks to the Latin American religious system in its 500-year history This innovative study explores the transition in Brazil from a hegemonically Catholic society to a religiously pluralistic society. With sensitivity, Erika Helgen shows that the rise of religious pluralism was fraught with conflict and violence, as Catholic bishops, priests, and friars organized intense campaigns against Protestantism. These episodes of religious violence were not isolated outbursts of reactionary rage, but rather formed part of a longer process through which religious groups articulated their vision for Brazil’s national future.
Manual do planejamento, construção e manutenção do tesauro Unesp para bibliotecas
Um manual de construção e manutenção de tesauros para bibliotecas não é usual porque não é comum que as bibliotecas construam tesauros e os mantenham atualizados. Porém, acreditamos que essa prática é necessária tendo em vista a necessidade constante de atualização de vocabulário especializado e multidisciplinar exigido pela divulgação científica. Este livro foi idealizado nos moldes do desenvolvimento da criação do Tesauro Unesp e foi organizado de modo a espelhar o planejamento e a organização de um tesauro no contexto de bibliotecas universitárias. Assim como outras bibliotecas, as bibliotecas universitárias estão sujeitas à evolução tecnológica digital que afeta de modo especial as práticas bibliotecárias e que as obriga a se reinventar constantemente. Por isso, muitas soluções apresentadas neste livro respeitam as condições ideais dessa mudança renovadora, mas respeitam, igualmente, as suas condições de exequibilidade.
