Cavala

Há um velho postulado segundo o qual literatura não se faz com bons sentimentos. Assim é em Cavala, livro de estreia de Sergio Tavares, vencedor do Prêmio SESC 2009 na categoria conto. Não que os personagens criados pelo autor sejam maus; porém, tomados por desvios, complexos e compulsões sexuais, cometem atos violentos — ao mesmo tempo em que buscam uma espécie de refúgio em amores, lembranças ou dores. Foi da vivência na profissão — em reportagens e entrevistas — que o autor retirou inspiração para compor as tramas e personagens das quatro densas narrativas. Narradas em primeira pessoa, as histórias conduzem o leitor por situações onde o real e o irreal equilibram-se numa linha tênue. Assim é com o primeiro conto, que empresta o título ao livro, protagonizado por uma jovem modelo, bulímica e em surto psicótico.

Roberto é um empresário que enriqueceu durante a ditadura e que vive imerso em obsessões sexuais por outros homens – e em mentiras para encobri-las. Lúcia, sua esposa, é uma ex-guerrilheira do MR-8 que atuou em sequestros e assaltos a bancos, até ser presa e torturada antes de ir para o exílio. E é no entrelaçar dessas trajetórias, que vão do final dos anos 60 ao alvorecer do novo milênio, que Sérgio Tavares retrata uma geração que lutou por liberdade, mas que não estava pronta para vivê-la quando a conquistou.

  • Publisher: BRILL

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Why? What is motivating us? What are the outcomes of our writing experiences? How to improve them? How to enable and empower young writers, students or independent artists to write more and better? What are the challenges? The activity of writing has been observed in this eBook from, mainly, two different perspectives: writing, self and discovery, on a predominantly institutional level, and writing as craft, with focus on text and writing practice. The division seems simple, but the variety of articles cover a wide range of subjects within the topic, creating interesting overviews – writing starts with writing instruction, progresses to discovery of the text, and this stage progresses frequently, as shown in the articles, as journeys of discovery and self-discovery.

International Journal of Transmedia Literacy (IJTL) Vol 1, No 1 (2015)

Forms of fiction and literature underwent a process of disembodiment and cross-fertilization during the revolution from the Gutenberg Galaxy (printed paper, mass distribution) to the McLuhan Galaxy (new media, hypertext, cooperative writing). The dimension of literacy has moved from a semioticallymeasured geometry to a dislocation and a deconstruction of contents and channels that give expression to new products. The impact of social media on narratology has redefined the meaning of readership and authorship. The author not only loses his/her traditional role, but becomes an icon of himself/herself, a collective-minded producer that is self-perceived through the extroflexed eye of the amniot...

Structural Connections for Lightweight Metallic Structures

Increasing concern with fuel consumption leads to widespread interest in lightweight structures for transportation vehicles. Several competing technologies are available for the structural connections of these structures, namely welding, mechanical fastening / riveting, and adhesive technologies. Arranged in a single volume, this work is to presents state-of-the-art discussions of those aspects and processes presenting greater novelty whilst simultaneously keeping wide applicability potential and interest. The topics chosen have the common feature of being of currently applied in lightweight structures, and one of the characteristics of this work is bringing together relevant state-of-the-art information usually presented in separate publications specializing in a single technology. The book provides discussions and examples of concrete applications, so that it appeals to researchers and designers and engineers involved in the design and fabrication of lightweight structures.
