Ana Lúcia Trevisan, Regina Crespo e Rodolfo Mata são professores e pesquisadores que se dedicam há muito tempo a refletir sobre a literatura e a cultura latino-americana. A partir de uma perspectiva comparada, seus estudos têm propiciado uma reflexão crítica e plural sobre o continente, aproximando as diversas linguagens da arte, bem como os diferentes contextos históricos e sociais. Os vínculos acadêmicos entre os professores revelam o esforço para sedimentar o intercâmbio entre o Programa de pós-graduação em Letras da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie e os Programas de pós-graduação em Letras e em Estudos Latino-americanos da Universidade Nacional Autônoma do México, ...

`I recommend this book to all readers interested in thinking about the self; I am sure that anyone who reads it will come away with some new ideas′ - Therapeutic Communities This critical and comprehensive examination of the relation of theory and identity discusses definitions of identity in classical social theory, modern social theory and psychoanalysis. The introduction is a critique of existing sociological accounts of identity, arguing that these are incurably cognitive, treating the people that they study as incapable of experiencing an internal life or internal space. The book then considers the implications of this in social theory and human practice.

Unimaginable loss yields to the power of human connection in this simple, moving story from the filmmakers of the eponymous Oscar-winning film. An elegy on grief. "Heavy pain exquisitely rendered." Kirkus Starred Review Based on the Academy Award-winning animated short by the same name, If Anything Happens I Love You is a young adult graphic novel that follows two parents as they reckon with the loss of their young daughter, Rose, in a school shooting. Readers follow Rose from “above” as she watches her parents slowly break down under the weight and pain of their loss. Throughout the novel, Rose’s soul seeks to help her parents reconnect. We learn who Rose was and how much life she lived in her short time. By incorporating a wide range of characters, her boyfriend, teacher, and her cat, Rose is able to introduce healing into the lives of the people she left behind. If Anything Happens I Love You may be a story about loss, but in it we see ourselves—in the grief, the pain, and, most importantly, in the fight toward human connection, love, and acceptance.

Não será permitida troca do livro, exceto em caso de defeitos gráficos. ... “o que um dia foi meu, nunca vai ser passado”: assim termina um dos poemas deste, a rigor, último livro do Paulo. Outros virão, mas aqui ele ainda pincelou, com seu parceiro João, a forma que o livro teria. Um pouco antes de ir. Mas não é um livro, é, como deve ser, um objeto estético, um álbum de arte, graças à cumplicidade com o traço do João, que, talvez por ser poeta também, soube criar ressonâncias entre a imagem e a palavra sem que uma interferisse na outra. winterverno , mesmo com inverno dentro,...
'Filmosophy' is a manifesto for a radically philosophical way of understanding cinema. The book coalesces 20th century ideas of film as thought into a practical theory of 'film-thinking', arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant dramatic 'intent' about the characters, spaces, and events of film.
The final volume of Will Eisner’s celebrated instructional trilogy explores the critical principle of body grammar in comics storytelling. Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork, the third and final book in the Will Eisner Instructional Series, finally reveals the secrets of Eisner’s own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling. From his earliest comics, including the celebrated Spirit, to his pioneering graphic novels, Eisner understood that the proper use of anatomy is crucial to effective storytelling. His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner’s mastery of expression, both subtle and overt, Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative will benefit comics fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft.
Since the inception of electroacoustic music in 1948, much has been written about technical developments. This book is one of the first to examine aesthetic issues central to this rapidly developing genre. It brings together composers from leading academic departments and studios in Britain, the United States, Canada and Paris with a wide range of approaches and opinions, resulting in a study which is likely to have a marked impact on current debates on the future of electroacoustic music. The book is divided into three sections. The first, Culture and Language, considers the relationship between music and the listener's perception and expectation. Materials and Lanugage looks at the types of materials available to composers and the way in which the internal structure of the sound can have implications for the overall structure of a piece. The final section, The Influence of New Technology, considers the relationship between computer systems and the music they are helping to create.
