Relações étnico-raciais na literatura brasileira do século XXI
O presente volume se propõe a contribuir com os estudos literários no que tange à necessidade de colocar em pauta a produção de autoria negra brasileira contemporânea modulada sobre questões, temas, linguagens e estéticas cruciais para que se reflita acerca das relações étnico-raciais no âmbito do imaginário literário. Neste sentido, estudos de diversos especialistas que se debruçaram sobre a literatura brasileira mais recente compõem o livro, apresentando análises transversais da produção de escritores e escritoras que publicaram toda ou parte de sua obra neste século.
Livro da Escada de Maomé
O estudo do Livro da Escada de Maomé torna-se paradigmático e sua tradução para o Português é, antes, um convite à reflexão sobre as raízes culturais do Ocidente, à luz da influência cultural da Península Ibérica medieval, da qual este idioma é um dos herdeiros. Além disso, esse estudo permite, sem dúvida, estabelecer nexos entre o medievalismo e a contemporaneidade que são de grande importância para compreender e encontrar respostas para os atuais conflitos entre as culturas ocidental e islâmica.
Alquimias do Audiovisual
Em Alquimias do Audiovisual, Natália Aly pratica a movimentação entre o passado e o presente, adentrando "os pormenores do audiovisual com base no seu passado remoto para contextualizar e realizar novos desdobramentos no presente". Transmutação é a palavra de ordem, diante das analogias entre a ciência hermética ou arte da alquimia nas experimentações do audiovisual. Disso resulta uma concepção do audiovisual que também não fica reduzido aos limites de seu desenvolvimento estritamente a partir da revolução industrial. Seus germens frutificaram em gradações temporais antes desse limite.
Gender, Science, and Authority in Women’s Travel Writing
Gender, Science, and Authority in Women’s Travel Writing: Literary Perspectives on the Discourse of Natural History analyzes the interrelations among authority, gender and the scientific discipline of natural history in the works of transatlantic women travelers from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Michelle Medeiros sheds new light on our understanding of the literary perspectives of the discourse of natural history and how these viewpoints had a surprising impact in areas that went beyond scientific fields.

Quiet Creature on the Corner
When an unemployed poet finds himself thrown in jail after raping his neighbor, his time in the slammer is mysteriously cut short when he's abruptly taken to a new home -- a countryside manor where his every need seen to. All that's required of him is to . . . write poetry. Just who are his captors, Kurt and Otávio? What of the alluring maid, Amália, and her charge, a woman with cancer named Gerda? And, most alarmingly of all, why does Kurt suddenly appear to be aging so much faster than he should? Reminiscent of the films of David Lynch, and written in João Gilberto Noll's distinctive postmodern style -- a strange world of surfaces seemingly without rational cause and effect --Quiet Crea...

Futures

Speculative in every sense, these essays are marked by a common concern for the act of reading as it is practiced in the work of Jacques Derrida. The contributorsGeoffrey Bennington, Paul Davies, Peter Fenves, Werner Hamacher, Jean-Michel Rabaté, Elisabeth Weber, and Jacques Derrida himselfstudy a range of authors, including Pascal, Kant, Hegel, Leibniz, Marx, Benjamin, Koyré, Arendt, and Lacan. These readings are neither prescriptive, defin...
The Future of Anthropological Knowledge
The Future of Anthropological Knowledge the chapters explore the question of the nature of social knowledge from a variety of perspectives and locations such as China, Africa, the USA and elsewhere. By examining the changing nature of anthropological knowledge and of the production of that knowledge, this book challenges the notion that only western societies have produced social theories of modernity and of global scope. Knowledge of society can no longer be restricted to a knowledge of face-to-face social relations but must encompass the effect of technology, global consumption patterns and changing geo-political configurations. The Future of Anthropological Knowledge will be of interest to anthropologists and students of culture and society.
