Os Direitos Humanos e as Razões que os identificam
Nesta obra, discute-se o acesso aos direitos humanos, possíveis empecilhos e como os seus destinatários podem alcançá-los. Debate-se a pretensão de universalidade, a repercussão da conjuntura socioeconômica nas lutas por reconhecimento de direitos de minorias e a forma de sua fundamentação, sob perspectivas jurídico-filosóficas, sociais e políticas. Investiga-se como a teoria da Decolonialidade revela a existência da herança colonial no cenário latino-americano, em especial no Brasil, e como se relaciona com a formação de direitos humanos em um discurso genérico e vazio de sentido. Em contraposição, compõe-se uma Matriz Decolonial de Resistência e sua base, a Fundamenta...
Analyzing Opera
Analyzing Opera: Verdi and Wagner explores the latest developments in opera analysis by considering, side by side, the works of the two greatest opera composers of the nineteenth century. Although the juxtaposition is not new, comparative studies have tended to view these masters as radically different both as musicians and as musical dramatists. Wagner and his "symphonic opera" set against Verdi "the melodist" is one of many familiar antitheses, and it serves to highlight the particular terms from which comparisons are often made.

Copenhagen
TONY AWARD WINNER • An explosive re-imagining of the mysterious wartime meeting between two Nobel laureates to discuss the atomic bomb. “Endlessly fascinating…. The most invigorating and ingenious play of ideas in many a year…. An electrifying work of art.” —Ben Brantley, The New York Times In 1941 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg made a clandestine trip to Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart and friend Niels Bohr. Their work together on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle had revolutionized atomic physics. But now the world had changed and the two men were on opposite sides in a world war. Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen and what he wanted to say to Bohr are questions that have vexed historians ever since. In Michael Frayn’s ambitious, fiercely intelligent, and daring new play Heisenberg and Bohr meet once again to discuss the intricacies of physics and to ponder the metaphysical—the very essence of human motivation.
