Este livro é uma síntese teórico-poética sobre a autoria narrativa na formação inicial de professores, viagem de formação, que temos desenvolvido na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. É fruto das interlocuções com professores e estudantes, mas também escritores, leitores, contadores de histórias, cineastas. O exercício da troca de cartas aqui enunciado reafirma as palavras de bell hooks e seu pensamento embasado em Paulo Freire, no sentido da importância de uma docência que se implique com a tomada da palavra: o ato de "erguer a voz", em razão de falar por mim mesmo e escrever por mim mesmo, em primeira pessoa, com minhas próprias palavras, mas também compartilhá-las. Nessa perspectiva, a Educação pode assumir a intencionalidade desse esforço humano de um olhar sobre o que acontece "entre-nós" na comunidade aberta de aprendizagem, fundamento da pedagogia engajada, que se caracteriza como sala de aula, seja ela presencial ou virtual.
Through flashbacks, recollections, and short narratives, this story powerfully communicates an individual's experience of exile from an emotional and psychological perspective while at the same time linking the individual experience to the collective one."--BOOK JACKET.
Through this translation of As Três Marias the literary achievements of Rachel de Queiroz may at last be judged and appreciated by the English-reading public. Since none of her four novels has previously been translated into English, The Three Marias will be, for many non-Brazilians, an introduction to this nationally known South American author whose books have been widely praised for their artistic merits. Her literary works are colored by her projected personality, by an intense feeling for her own people, by an omnipresent social consciousness, and by personal experiences in the arid backlands of her native state of Ceará. Basing this story on certain of her own recollections from the nineteen-twenties, Rachel de Queiroz tells of a girl growing up in the seaport town of Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. Fred P. Ellison, whose special field is Brazilian and Spanish-American literature, has captured in his translation the author's graceful style and simplicity of language, and has successfully retained the perspective of an idealistic and gradually maturing girl.
Imagination is the Source of Creativity and Invention This series of essays has been collected expressly to bring readers new ideas about imagination and creativity in education that will both stimulate discussion and debate and also contribute practical ideas for how to infuse our daily classrooms with imaginative activities. In a world that values creative innovation, it is distressing that our schools are dominated by an educational paradigm that pays too little attention to engaging the imagination and emotions of students in the curriculum and the worlds challenges that the curriculum is designed to prepare students to meet. The ability of children to think creatively, to be innovative,...

Set in the aftermath of the “Carnation Revolution” of April 25, 1974, Antonio Lobo Antunes’s Warning to the Crocodiles is a fragmented narrative of the violent tensions resulting from major political changes in Portugal. Told through the memories of four women who spend their days fashioning homemade explosives and participating in the kidnap and torture of communists, the novel details the clandestine activities of an extreme right-wing Salazarist faction resisting the country’s new embrace of democracy.
