The Three Marias
None
Novas cartas portuguesas
Este livro tem tanto de gênio literário quanto de resistência ao Portugal fascista de 1971. Partindo do clássico Lettres Portugaises, as "três Marias" reclamam o direito à plenitude da existência política, econômica, social, cultural e sexual das mulheres. E fazem-no de uma forma, a todos os níveis, revolucionária. Subvertendo o conceito tradicional de autoria, as três amigas vão se escrevendo cartas, contos, ficções, poemas, ensaios, que compõem um todo dificilmente categorizável e extremamente inovador. Os textos enfrentam o gasto Império de cinco séculos, a exaurida guerra colonial com os seus horrores e mortos, a inefável Censura, a hipócrita subordinação dos cidad...

Shakespeare's Cross-Cultural Encounters
In this highly entertaining study, De Sousa argues that Shakespeare reinterprets, refashions and reinscribes his alien characters - Jews, Moors, Amazons and gypsies. In this way, the dramatist questions the narrowness of a European perspective which caricatures other societies and views them with suspicion. De Sousa examines how Shakespeare defines other cultures in terms of the interplay of gender, text and habitat. Written in a provocative style, this readable book provides a wealth of fascinating information both on contemporary stage productions and on race and gender relations in early modern Europe.
Media inter Media
This interdisciplinary volume explores, analyzes, and celebrates intermedial processes. It investigates the dynamic relations between media in contemporary artistic productions such as digitalized poetry and installations or musical scores by Walter Steffens and Hugh Davies; in texts like Dieter Roth’s diaries, Ror Wolf’s guidebooks, Charles Baudelaire’s art criticism, or Lewis Carroll’s Alice books; and in inherently intermedial pieces like Stéphane Mallarmé’s Un Coup de Dés and Augusto de Campos’s poetry. Through distinct and diverse methodological approaches to intermedial inquiry, the contributors probe multiple forms of interaction between media: adaptation, appropriation...
J.M. Coetzee and the Limits of Cosmopolitanism
Drawing on postcolonial and gender studies, as well as affect theory, the book interrogates cosmopolitan philosophies. Through analysis of J.M. Coetzee's later fiction, Hallemeier invites the re-imagining of cosmopolitanism, particularly as it is performed through the reading of literature.

Dimensions of Japanese Society
Japan remains one of the most intriguing yet least understood nations. In a much needed, balanced and comprehensive analysis, among other remarkable revelations, this book presents for the first time a vital key to understanding the organisation of Japan's society and the behaviour of its people. The Japanese are not driven by a universal morality based on Good and Evil, but by broad aesthetic concepts based on Pure and Impure. What they include as 'impure' will surprise many readers.
