Cinema em Exílio
Este trabalho de pesquisa tem por objetivo principal realizar um estudo comparativo da tradução do blog Armiejski Dziońnik Franaka Viačorki (2009) para o filme Žyvie Bielaruś! (2012). A narrativa de ambas as obras se passa em Belarus, ex-república soviética desde 1994 governada pelo ditador Aliaksandr Lukašenka, cuja agressiva política de russificação e perseguição a opositores atinge diretamente o ativista e estudante de jornalismo Franak Viačorka, que escreveu o blog durante o período que serviu ao exército na zona de Chernobyl, após ser expulso da faculdade, como punição por participar de manifestações contra o governo. O filme foi produzido na Polônia e proibido em...
A construção do personagem criminoso na literatura e no cinema
Esta obra possui como tema o criminoso, a partir da figuração e análise de personagens criados pela literatura e pelo cinema, no fim do século XX e início do século XXI, mais especificamente entre os anos de 1997 e 2002. Embasam esta reflexão as perspectivas teóricas do biopoder, bem como da "dizi-visibilidade", e do "direito à narrativa" que os grupos minoritários têm buscado na contemporaneidade. Estão em debate quatro personagens bastante discutidos e visibilizados nos ambientes da comunicação e da cultura no início do século XX, e que alcançaram um grande público nesse período: Zé Pequeno (Cidade de Deus, 1997, Paulo Lins), Rael (Capão Pecado, 2000, Ferréz), Zé Peq...
Slow Cinema
O fascínio pela dimensão temporal, evidenciado na forma e/ou na temática de algumas obras, marca uma das principais características encontradas em parte do documentário brasileiro contemporâneo. A ênfase na passagem do tempo ganha maior relevo quando, na busca incessante pela experiência singular do outro, os filmes abordam a memória pessoal como possibilidade de relacionar o ordinário, os gestos mais banais a um modo particular de ser e de estar num mundo em devir. E em se tratando da forma, a preferência por imagens longas e fixas intensifica a ideia de inexorabilidade do tempo, provocando no espectador o que Lúcia Nagib (2013) chama de stasis reflexiva. A tendência por um cinema mais contemplativo, cuja estética da lentidão nos direciona para novas formas de realismo cinematográfico, pode estar relacionada com o que tem se convencionado chamar de slow cinema – caracterizado, principalmente, pela fixação com o tempo, o uso de tomadas longas, a falta de enredo e o foco no cotidiano.

Speculative Everything
How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures. Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be—to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the ki...

The Purchasing Power of Money
Perhaps America's first celebrated economist, Irving Fisher-for whom the Fisher equation, the Fisher hypothesis, and the Fisher separation theorem are named-staked an early claim to fame with his revival, in this 1912 book, of the "quantity theory of money." An important work of 20th-century economics, this work explores: the circulation of money against goods the various circulating media the mystery of circulating credit how a rise in prices generates a further rise influence of foreign trade on the quantity of money the problem of monetary reform and much more. American economist IRVING FISHER (1867-1947) was professor of political economy at Yale University. Among his many books are Mathematical Investigations in the Theory of Value and Prices (1892), The Rate of Interest (1907), Why Is the Dollar Shrinking? A Study in the High Cost of Living (1914), and Booms and Depressions (1932).

Parisian Sketches
"No one, not even Toulouse-Lautrec, was so tireless a tracker of Paris�s genius loci as Huysmans. Like many of his radical contemporaries, he was obsessed by the idea of beauty within the ugliness of back-street Paris, by the thought that the distortions of depravity presented a truer picture of our spiritual nature than conventional religion or revolutionary excess. The excellent introduction to these cameos show how Huysmans saw his art as complementary to the painter�s. As the stories themselves testify, however, the results were not always successful. Compare for example, the sharp impressionistic portrayal of 'A Streetwalker' with the hazy, self-regarding raptures of 'The Overture to Tannhauser', a hyperventilating review characterised by sonorous phrases which pile up and collapse. But his symbolist mode yields as many rockets as damp squibs: 'A Nightmare' is genuinely chilling and oddly exultant. A tale about the wandering Jew is a mini-masterpiece. In this and other pieces, Huysmans begins and ends his tale with the same description - giving the whole the air of a medieval chant." Murrough Obrien in The Independent on Sunday
