O livro fala da música brasileira, sim. Mas é aquela impopular, a "outra", a clássica. Se o nome de Villa-Lobos constitui antes exceção do que regra do cenário musical brasileiro, que dirá os compositores que vivem eternamente sendo regatados por musicólogos e interpretes. Traçando uma linha do tempo da época colonial até os nossos tempos, o autor conta a história dessa música de maneira acessível ao leitor "leigo", não-familiarizado com o jargão musical específico. Ao reconhecer que as partituras não são folhas soltas no tempo e no espaço, Irineu procura também relacionar a música "clássica" com os fatos históricos e culturais de sua época, inclusive a música popular, e situar seus criadores no ambiente intelectual e social brasileiro.

Calatonia is a body-based, psychophysical approach created during WWII by Pethö Sándor, a Hungarian physician. He developed Calatonia whilst working as a doctor for the Red Cross, in various refugee camps. Calatonia arose out of necessity, and was probably the first somatic therapy developed from, and initially for, those suffering from war trauma.A pioneering spirit, he recognised the importance of fostering the organism's self-regulation within the therapeutic context, in order to achieve psychological balance and to facilitate the integration of traumatic experiences. His work is life affirming and encourages resilience building, structured around the global reorganisation and mutual re...
First Published in 2007. This volume is a collection of a series of six illustrated lectures that demonstrate a picture of the author’s evolved thinking about the composing of music: both from a more general, overall perspective and from that of the particular moment-to-moment decision making that, gradually accumulating, brings a whole into being.

During the later half of the nineteenth century, a majority of Brazilian women worked, most as domestic servants, either slave or free. House and Street re-creates the working and personal lives of these women, drawing on a wealth of documentation from archival, court, and church records. Lauderdale Graham traces the intricate and ambivalent relations that existed between masters and servants. She shows how for servants the house could be a place of protection—as well as oppression—while the street could be dangerous—but also more autonomous. She integrates her discoveries with larger events taking place in Rio de Janeiro during the period, including the epidemics of the 1850s, the abolition of slavery, the demolition of slums, and major improvements in sanitation during the first decade of the 1900s. House and Street was originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1988. For this paperback edition, Lauderdale Graham has provided a new introduction.
June E. Hahner’s pioneering work,Emancipating the Female Sex,offers the first comprehensive history of the struggle for women’s rights in Brazil. Based on previously undiscovered primary sources and fifteen years of research, Hahner’s study provides long-overdue recognition of the place of women in Latin American history. Hahner traces the history of Brazilian women’s fight for emancipation from its earliest manifestations in the mid-nineteenth century to the successful conclusion of the suffrage campaign in the 1930s. Drawing on interviews with surviving Brazilian suffragists and contemporary feminists as well as manuscripts and printed documents, Hahner explores the strategies and ideological positions of Brazilian feminists. In focusing on urban upper- and middle-class women, from whose ranks the leadership for change arose, she examines the relationship between feminism and social change in Brazil’s complex and highly stratified society.
