As relações e diálogos estabelecidos entre arte, cultura e política são objetos do segundo volume da coletânea “Ciências Humanas no Olho do Furacão”, que sucede o primeiro volume que tratou das “tensões & problemas contemporâneos” e foi organizado por Luciana Biffi e Mônica Abed Zaher, em 2020. As relações mencionadas são retomadas, neste novo volume, devido ao anseio de compreensão e análise acerca do processo da junção arte-pensamento, a fim de incidir nas formas pelas quais, historicamente, temos empreendido o esforço de debater como o ser humano pensa e fábrica o mundo nos termos desses três pilares que apontam para as mais diversas formas, ações e concepç...

"This amazing "revolutionary" novel is full of surprises -- not the least being that its author is a middle-aged Brazilian "man of letters" rather than some youthful wild-eyed Maoist. It glides with amazing dash and brio from torture chamber to love affair, more with the elegant grace of a minuet than with the terror of people who almost all lose their lives in failed attempts to reach Che's small guerrilla band in the Bolivian foothills. There's no sense of tragedy, only the offhand, almost humorous, way in which middle-class intellectual revolutionaries are likely to die: a bank robber turning his eye from the cashier at a crucial moment because he spots a friend stuffing stolen money from...

Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.
O tema central desta coletânea (“Memória Coletiva, Memória Individual e História Cultural”), de fato, permite e estimula muitas possibilidades de trabalho. Como organizadores, nossa proposta inicial era exatamente oferecer um espaço de interlocução de modo que pesquisadores diversos, e em momentos diferentes de suas formações, pudessem apresentar suas ideias publicamente e de maneira produtiva, colocando-as à disposição para serem debatidas. Acreditamos, salvo melhor juízo do leitor, que nosso objetivo foi alcançado. Com efeito, frutos do esforço de pesquisadores experientes como André Luis Bertelli Duarte, Francisco de Assis de Sousa Nascimento, Heloisa Selma Fernandes C...
