Orbitando a ideia de descentramentos críticos, temos a perspecti...

D. Maria I foi a primeira mulher a governar Portugal e ficou conhecida para a história como a «Rainha Louca». Mãe de D. João VI e avó do primeiro imperador do Brasil, teve um longo reinado de 38 anos - marcado por intensa atividade governativa, pela ação social e pelo desenvolvimento das artes e das ciências - e, no entanto, a sua vida conta com aspetos muito importantes não esclarecidos. Se era mentalmente instável, o que a levou a isso? E seria realmente louca, ou antes incompreendida? Que impacto tiveram nela as mortes do marido e do filho primogénito? A fim de lançar uma nova luz sobre esta figura marcante da história de Portugal, a historiadora Mary del Priore investigou a...

Neo-Noir as Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema suggests the terms “noir” and “neo-noir” have been rendered almost meaningless by overuse. The book seeks to re-establish a purpose for neo-noir films and re-consider the organization of 60 years of neo-noir films. Using the notion of post-classical, the book establishes how neo-noir breaks into many movements, some based on time and others based on thematic similarities. The combined movements then form a mosaic of neo-noir. The time-based movements examine Transitional Noir (1960s-early 1970s), Hollywood Renaissance Noir in the 1970s, Eighties Noir, Nineties Noir, and Digital Noir of the 2000s. The thematic movements explore Nostalgia Noir, Hybrid Noir, and Remake and Homage Noir. Academics as well as film buffs will find this book appealing as it deconstructs popular films and places them within new contexts.
Feminism has dramatically influenced the way literary texts are read, taught and evaluated. Feminist literary theory has deliberately transgressed traditional boundaries between literature, philosophy and the social sciences in order to understand how gender has been constructed and represented through language. This lively and thought-provoking Companion presents a range of approaches to the field. Some of the essays demonstrate feminist critical principles at work in analysing texts, while others take a step back to trace the development of a particular feminist literary method. The essays draw on a range of primary material from the medieval period to postmodernism and from several countries, disciplines and genres. Each essay suggests further reading to explore this field further. This is the most accessible guide available both for students of literature new to this developing field, and for students of gender studies and readers interested in the interactions of feminism, literary criticism and literature.
