Terras Férteis
Terras Férteis é uma coletânea de seis artigos acadêmicos que abarcam pesquisas em arte educação, dramaturgia, teoria da interpretação teatral e cultura popular. Todos têm em comum reflexões sobre os modos da arte na atualidade, seus paradoxos e seus desafios em diferentes espaços: escola, sala de ensaio, espetáculos teatrais, contos populares. As pesquisas confluem em esforços por enfrentar a difícil tarefa de confrontar-se com o contemporâneo, compreendendo-o como um modo de se posicionar diante da história em que não estamos totalmente identificados a ela. Um convite à reflexão dos limites da arte.
Décrire l'insaisissable :
Ce livre répond à une question majeure et manifeste une urgence. Les théories généralistes sur le brassage des cultures, le prétendu « choc des civilisations », la mondialisation – la « globalisation » déclamées par les nouveaux empires économiques et politiques ne parlent que du saisissable– o preensivel -, l'immédiat compréhensible, objets de consommation.
Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa
Shortlised for the Saltire Society Non Fiction Book of the Year Award Almost every adult and child is familiar with his Treasure Island, but few know that Robert Louis Stevenson lived out his last years on an equally remote island, which was squabbled over by colonial powers much as Captain Flint's treasure was contested by the mongrel crew of the Hispaniola. In 1890 Stevenson settled in Upolu, an island in Samoa, after two years sailing round the South Pacific. He was given a Samoan name and became a fierce critic of the interference of Germany, Britain and the U.S.A. in Samoan affairs - a stance that earned him Oscar Wilde's sneers, and brought him into conflict with the Colonial Office, w...

Music in Everyday Life
The power of music to influence mood, create scenes, routines and occasions is widely recognised and this is reflected in a strand of social theory from Plato to Adorno that portrays music as an influence on character, social structure and action. There have, however, been few attempts to specify this power empirically and to provide theoretically grounded accounts of music's structuring properties in everyday experience. Music in Everyday Life uses a series of ethnographic studies - an aerobics class, karaoke evenings, music therapy sessions and the use of background music in the retail sector - as well as in-depth interviews to show how music is a constitutive feature of human agency. Drawing together concepts from psychology, sociology and socio-linguistics it develops a theory of music's active role in the construction of personal and social life and highlights the aesthetic dimension of social order and organisation in late modern societies.
The End of Love
Western culture has endlessly represented the ways in which love miraculously erupts in people’s lives, the mythical moment in which one knows someone is destined for us, the feverish waiting for a phone call or an email, the thrill that runs down our spine at the mere thought of him or her. Yet, a culture that has so much to say about love is virtually silent on the no less mysterious moments when we avoid falling in love, where we fall out of love, when the one who kept us awake at night now leaves us indifferent, or when we hurry away from those who excited us a few months or even a few hours before. In The End of Love, Eva Illouz documents the multifarious ways in which relationships e...
