Representações do Feminino na Literatura, Artes e Mídias
Os ensaios aqui reunidos são de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores de diversas instituições de ensino superior do Brasil, os quais utilizam como aporte teórico, principalmente, os estudos de gênero, a crítica feminista e transfeminista. Assim, possuindo 17 capítulos, a presente publicação traz pesquisas que variam em análises para além do âmbito literário e que buscam contribuir com esse campo de estudo que está em constante atualização, haja vista que segue o desenvolvimento social e a luta do movimento feminista. Tais pesquisas possibilitam o ato de refletir, de forma plural e não essencialista, as figuras femininas e sua relação com as artes. Ademais, apresentam visões de mundo femininas, nas quais o papel e a imagem que se tem das mulheres podem ser reavaliados de forma crítica, uma vez que apresentam ideias que tornam possível ver e compreender essa autorrepresentação como um caminho para a liberdade intelectual e autonomia feminina.

Run for It

Originally published in Brazil ― where it was nominated for three of the country’s most prestigious comics awards ― Run For It has received rave reviews worldwide, including, in the U.S., The Huffington Post. These intense tales offer a tragic and gripping portrait of one of history’s darkest corners. It’s hard to look away.
Murther and Walking Spirits
Murther & Walking Spirits is available as an eBook for the first time. “I was never so amazed in my life as when the Sniffer drew his concealed weapon from its case and struck me to the ground, stone dead.” So begins the unusual story of Connor “Gil” Gilmartin when he catches his wife in flagrante with the Sniffer, his former colleague and now his murderer. Though he is struck dead in the very first line of this novel, death is only the first indignity Gil is about to suffer. For he lingers on as a ghost, and from this bleak vantage–made even less endurable by the fact that he must spend the afterlife sitting beside his killer at a film festival–he is forced to view the exploits and failures of his ancestors, from the forerunners who sailed up the Hudson to Canada during the American Revolution right up to his university-professor parents.
