O Romance de Adultério e o Realismo Trágico: Um Estudo de Madame Bovary e Anna Kariênina
O romance de adultério é uma instituição do século XIX. Nele, manifesta-se a forma realista, ápice da narrativa oitocentista, que consagra o romance como gênero literário maior. Madame Bovary e Anna Kariênina são as mais importantes obras com essa temática e é a partir de uma leitura pormenorizada desses dois romances que Rafhael Borgato percorre a história do romance moderno, desde sua ascensão na Inglaterra do século XVIII até a consagração no realismo moderno do século XIX. O realismo formal e a representação da realidade cotidiana são os elementos definidores da modernidade do gênero, a linha contínua que une as pontas da história dessa forma literária e nos per...
O Sagrado em Narrativas de Mia Couto e Boaventura Cardoso
Neste livro, a autora apresenta a leitura crítica de um corpus literário repleto de elementos do sagrado, um dos pilares das identidades africanas. Ao problematizar as profundas transformações geoistóricas, sociais, políticas, econômicas e culturais que têm desestabilizado noções fixas de sujeito e de nação, O sagrado em narrativas de Mia Couto e Boaventura Cardoso discute as ambivalentes configurações culturais, em que coexistem fenômenos de destradicionalização e de (re)invenção da tradição, permeados nas encruzilhadas entre os discursos religiosos do colonizador e do colonizado, da colonialidade e da pós-colonialidade. O estudo do sagrado nessas narrativas objetiva a...
Da paixão ao abandono: as Cartas Portuguesas de Mariana Alcoforado e as litografias de Henri Matisse
As Cartas Portuguesas são consideradas um documento humano, literário e de confissão, partindo-se da recepção de leitura do pintor Henri Matisse (1864-1954) nas litografias e vinhetas da edição especial de 2004. Composta de retratos imaginários de Sóror Mariana Alcoforado, somando-se quinze litografias que acompanham o texto literário, interpretando os diversos estados de alma da religiosa. O objetivo das autoras é contribuir com a extensa fortuna crítica das Cartas Portuguesas e cumprir com a nobre função de alcançar e ampliar os estudiosos e estudantes dos cursos de Letras, como também os demais leitores que desejam expandir o seu conhecimento na literatura e nas artes.
Radical Pedagogies
Experiments in architectural education in the post–World War II era that challenged and transformed architectural discourse and practice. In the decades after World War II, new forms of learning transformed architectural education. These radical experiments sought to upend disciplinary foundations and conventional assumptions about the nature of architecture as much as they challenged modernist and colonial norms, decentered building, imagined new roles for the architect, and envisioned participatory forms of practice. Although many of the experimental programs were subsequently abandoned, terminated, or assimilated, they nevertheless helped shape and in some sense define architectural dis...
In Foreign Lands: The Migration of Scientists for Political or Economic Reasons
This proceedings volume collects the stories of mathematicians and scientists who have spent and developed parts of their careers and life in countries other than those of their origin. The reasons may have been different in different periods but were often driven by political or economic circumstances: The lack of suitable employment opportunities in their home countries, adverse political systems, and wars have led to the emigration of scientists. The volume shows that these movements have played an important role in spreading scientific knowledge and have often changed the scientific landscape, tradition and future of studies and research fields. The book analyses in particular: aspects o...
Reading Galileo
How did early modern scientists interpret Galileo’s influential Two New Sciences? In 1638, Galileo was over seventy years old, blind, and confined to house arrest outside of Florence. With the help of friends and family, he managed to complete and smuggle to the Netherlands a manuscript that became his final published work, Two New Sciences. Treating diverse subjects that became the foundations of mechanical engineering and physics, this book is often depicted as the definitive expression of Galileo’s purportedly modern scientific agenda. In Reading Galileo, Renée Raphael offers a new interpretation of Two New Sciences which argues instead that the work embodied no such coherent canonic...
Observing the World through Images
The well-illustrated articles in Observing the World through Images offer insights into the uses of images in astronomy, mathematics, instrument-making, medicine and alchemy, highlighting shared forms as well as those peculiar to individual disciplines. Themes addressed include: the processes of image production and communication; the transformation of images through copying and adaptation for new purposes; genres and traditions of imagery in particular scientific disciplines; the mnemonic and pedagogical value of diagrams; the relationship between text and image; and the roles of diagrams as tools to think with. Contributors include: Isabelle Pantin, Jennifer Rampling, Samuel Gessner, Renee Raphael, Karin Ekholm, Hester Higton, and Katie Taylor.
Writing the History of Mathematics: Its Historical Development
As an historiographic monograph, this book offers a detailed survey of the professional evolution and significance of an entire discipline devoted to the history of science. It provides both an intellectual and a social history of the development of the subject from the first such effort written by the ancient Greek author Eudemus in the Fourth Century BC, to the founding of the international journal, Historia Mathematica, by Kenneth O. May in the early 1970s.
Hidden Harmony—Geometric Fantasies
This book is a history of complex function theory from its origins to 1914, when the essential features of the modern theory were in place. It is the first history of mathematics devoted to complex function theory, and it draws on a wide range of published and unpublished sources. In addition to an extensive and detailed coverage of the three founders of the subject – Cauchy, Riemann, and Weierstrass – it looks at the contributions of authors from d’Alembert to Hilbert, and Laplace to Weyl. Particular chapters examine the rise and importance of elliptic function theory, differential equations in the complex domain, geometric function theory, and the early years of complex function t...
