Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America
Latin America is experiencing a boom in graphic novels that are highly innovative in their conceptual play and their reworking of the medium. Inventive artwork and sophisticated scripts have combined to satisfy the demand of a growing readership, both at home and abroad. Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America, which is the first book-length study of the topic, argues that the graphic novel is emerging in Latin America as a uniquely powerful force to explore the nature of twenty-first century subjectivity. The authors place particular emphasis on the ways in which humans are bound to their non-human environment, and these ideas are productively drawn out in relation to posthuman ...
El Eternauta, Daytripper, and Beyond
“El Eternauta, Daytripper, and Beyond examines the graphic narrative tradition in the two South American countries that have produced the medium’s most significant and copious output. Argentine graphic narrative emerged in the 1980s, awakened by Héctor Oesterheld’s groundbreaking 1950s serial El Eternauta. After Oesterheld was “disappeared” under the military dictatorship, El Eternauta became one of the most important cultural texts of turbulent mid-twentieth-century Argentina. Today its story, set in motion by an extraterrestrial invasion of Buenos Aires, is read as a parable foretelling the “invasion” of Argentine society by a murderous tyranny. Because of El Eternauta, grap...
Inclusive Markets in Brazil
The UNDP’s global initiative—“Growing Inclusive Markets”—brings together cases from all over the world and similar regional publications. In Brazil, UNDP has created the “Incluir Initiative” which aims to encourage and recognize inclusive businesses in the country.

Literatura brasileira em tradução
O livro Literatura Brasileira em Tradução: olhares contemporâneos surgiu a partir da constatação das organizadoras de que há pouco material recente sobre a Literatura Brasileira em Tradução. Embora, nos últimos anos, seja perceptível o crescimento do número de autores e obras brasileiras em Tradução, pouco se tem publicado sobre questões de recepção dessa literatura no exterior e menos ainda tem se falado sobre o processo de seleção e tradução dessas obras. Outra questão de muita relevância para os Estudos da Tradução é o lugar sistêmico ocupado por autores e suas obras no contexto de partida, o polissistema literário brasileiro, e nos diferentes contextos de chegada, através da tradução. Assim, diante da lacuna observada, este livro propõe abordar diferentes autores e obras da Literatura Brasileira levados para outras línguas e outros polissistemas culturais e literários por meio da tradução. O livro trata de traduções de Conceição Evaristo, Machado de Assis, Maria Firmina dos Reis, Mário de Andrade, entre outros, para línguas como o francês, inglês, espanhol e alemão.

Angola Janga
An independent kingdom of runaway slaves founded in the late 16th century, Angola Janga was a beacon of freedom in a land plagued with oppression. In stark black ink and chiaroscuro panel compositions, D’Salete brings history to life; the painful stories of fugitive slaves on the run, the brutal raids by Portuguese colonists, and the tense power struggles within this precarious kingdom. At turns heartbreaking and empowering, Angola Janga sheds light on a long-overlooked moment of resistance against oppression.
