Surrealism Beyond Borders
Surrealism Beyond Borders challenges conventional narratives of a revolutionary artistic, literary, and philosophical movement. Tracing Surrealism's influence and legacy from the 1920s to the late 1970s in places as geographically diverse as Colombia, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Romania, Syria, Thailand, and Turkey, this publication includes more than 300 works of art in a variety of media by well-known figures—including Dalí, Ernst, Kahlo, Magritte, and Miró—as well as numerous artists who are less widely known. Contributions from more than forty distinguished international scholars explore the network of Surrealist exchange and collaboration, artists' responses to the challenges of social and political unrest, and the experience of displacement and exile in the twentieth century. The multiple narratives addressed in this expansive book move beyond the borders of history, geography, and nationality to provocatively redraw the map of Surrealism.
Brazilian Art Under Dictatorship
After the Brazilian military took power in a coup in 1964, many artists tried to distance themselves from politics; others went into exile. This book covers the most culturally repressive years of the regime, from 1968-74 and looks at artists who found their own visual language of resistance, outside government-controlled cultural centers or the militant left.
Fernando Pessoa's Modernity Without Frontiers
Eighteen short essays by the most distinguished international scholars examine Pessoa's influences, his dialogues with other writers and artistic movements, and the responses his work has generated worldwide. Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa claimed that he did not evolve, but rather travelled. This book provides a state of the art panorama of Pessoa's literary travels, particularly in the English-speaking world. Its eighteen short, jargon-free essays were written by the most distinguished Pessoa scholars across the globe. They explore the influence on Pessoa's thinking of such writers as Whitman and Shakespeare, as well as his creative dialogues with figuresranging from decadent poets to t...
Architecture and Nature
The first book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents a collection of Abilio Guerra's texts that gravitate around a birthmark of modernism in Brazil. At issue is the belief (found in texts, narratives and speeches from 1920-1940) in an alternative modern action – where culture and nature play leading roles – which because of its discursive effectiveness metamorphoses into real features of Brazilian modern architecture.
É Preciso Ouvir o Homem [Nu]: Um Estudo sobre a Poética de Flávio de Carvalho
Carolina Lyra aborda a obra do arquiteto e artista de vanguarda brasileiro Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973), a partir de duas perspectivas diversas. Naquela central, apresenta sua proposta urbanística "A Cidade do Homem Nu" e relaciona-a à arquitetura e cenografia, inserindo-a num mesmo quadro de referências – projetos e experiências do artista a partir de seu vínculo com a Antropofagia. Noutra, discorre especificamente sobre sua formação, sua inserção no meio como arquiteto com seus primeiros projetos e sua relação com Oswald de Andrade e sua obra. Esta formulação central representa uma maneira diferente de combinar esses aspectos da atuação do artista. O modo como se entrelaçam essas abordagens faz com que a obra revele o que a autora indica ser, nas próprias palavras de Flávio de Carvalho, seu poder de sugestão. Rui Moreira Leite Arquiteto e historiador da arte, curador das retrospectivas do artista em 1983 e 2010, organizador da reedição revista e ampliada do livro de impressões de viagem, de Flávio de Carvalho, Os ossos do mundo.

A escrava que não é Isaura
Começo por uma história. Quase parábola. Gosto de falar por parábolas como Cristo... Uma diferença essencial que desejo estabelecer desde o princípio: Cristo dizia: "Sou a Verdade." E tinha razão. Digo sempre: "Sou a minha verdade." E tenho razão. A Verdade de Cristo é imutável e divina. A minha é humana, estética e transitória. Eu por mim não estou de acordo com aquele salto para o futuro. Vejo Lineu a rir da linda ignorância do poeta. Também não me convenço de que se deva apagar o antigo. Não há necessidade disso para continuar para frente. Demais: o antigo é de grande utilidade. Os tolos caem em pasmaceira diante dele e a gente pode continuar seu caminho, livre de tão nojenta companhia.

Designing Pan-America
Coinciding with the centennial of the Pan American Union (now the Organization of American States), González explores how nineteenth- and twentieth-century U.S. architects and their clients built a visionary Pan-America to promote commerce and cultural exchange between United States and Latin America. Late in the nineteenth century, U.S. commercial and political interests began eyeing the countries of Latin America as plantations, farms, and mines to be accessed by new shipping lines and railroads. As their desire to dominate commerce and trade in the Western Hemisphere grew, these U.S. interests promoted the concept of "Pan-Americanism" to link the United States and Latin America and calle...
