  • Publisher: Unknown

Em 1943, no plano de suas Obras Completas, 'Poesias completas' deveria ampliar o conteúdo de Poesias, seleta que revisita os títulos publicados no modernismo da década de 1920 - 'Pauliceia desvairada', 'Losango cáqui', 'Clã do jabuti', e 'Remate de males', trazendo também os inéditos 'A costela do Grã Cão' e 'Livro azul'. 'Poesias completas' abrangeria a integralidade dos livros até 1930, os inéditos divulgados em 1941 e novos inéditos como 'O carro da Miséria'. Apenas em 1955, dez anos após a morte do autor, a obra se concretiza. A presente edição de 'Poesias completas' busca restituir, nos textos apurados mediante o confronto com edições em vida e manuscritos, o projeto original de Mário de Andrade para esse livro. Anotada e acrescida de documentos, contribui vivamente para a história da literatura no Brasil.

Traces of the Unseen

A richly illustrated examination of photography as a technology for documenting, creating, and understanding the processes of modernization in turn-of-the-century Brazil and the Amazon Photography at the turn of the twentieth century was not only a product of modernity but also an increasingly available medium to chronicle the processes of modernization. Traces of the Unseen: Photography, Violence, and Modernization in Early Twentieth-Century Latin America situates photography’s role in documenting the destruction wrought by infrastructure development and extractive capitalist expansion in the Amazon and outside the Brazilian metropole. Combining formal analysis of individual photographs w...

Discourses on Nations and Identities

The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism...

Latin American Literature in Transition 1870–1930

Latin American Literature in Transition 1870-1930 examines how the circulation of goods, people, and ideas permeated every aspect of the continent's cultural production at the end of the nineteenth century. It analyzes the ways in which rapidly transforming technological and labour conditions contributed to forging new intellectual networks, exploring innovative forms of knowledge, and reimagining the material and immaterial worlds. This volume shows the new directions in turn-of-the-century scholarship that developed over the last two decades by investigating how the experience of capitalism produced an array of works that deal with primitive accumulation, transnational crossings, and an emerging technological and material reality in diverse geographies and a variety of cultural forms. Essays provide a novel understanding of the period as they discuss the ways in which particular commodities, intellectual networks, popular uprisings, materialities, and non-metropolitan locations redefined cultural production at a time when the place of Latin America in global affairs was significantly transformed.

Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character

A brilliant new translation of the Brazilian modernist epic that aims to capture the country’s complex identity Here at last is an exciting new edition of the Brazilian modernist epic Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character, by Mário de Andrade. This landmark 1928 novel follows the adventures of the shapeshifting Macunaíma and his brothers as they leave their Amazon home for a whirlwind tour of Brazil, cramming four centuries and a continental expanse into a single mythic plane. Having lost a magic amulet, the hero and his brothers journey to Sao Paulo to retrieve the talisman that has fallen into the hands of an Italo-Peruvian captain of industry (who is also a cannibal giant). Written over six delirious days—the fruit of years of study—Macunaíma magically synthesizes dialect, folklore, anthropology, mythology, flora, fauna, and pop culture to examine Brazilian identity. This brilliant translation by Katrina Dodson has been many years in the making and includes an extensive section of notes, providing essential context for this magnificent work.

Native and National in Brazil

How do the lives of indigenous peoples relate to the romanticized role of "Indians" in Brazilian history, politics, and cultural production? Native and National in Brazil charts this enigmatic relationship from the sixteenth century to the present, focusing on the consolidation of the dominant national imaginary in the postindependence period and highlighting Native peoples' ongoing work to decolonize it. Engaging issues ranging from sovereignty, citizenship, and national security to the revolutionary potential of art, sustainable development, and the gendering of ethnic differences, Tracy Devine Guzman argues that the tensions between popular renderings of "Indianness" and lived indigenous ...

Macunaíma

Mario de Andrade publicou `Macunaíma` em 1938. Por falta de editora, a tiragem do romance foi de apenas oitocentos exemplares, mas o livro foi festejado pela crítica modernista por sua inovação narrativa e de linguagem. Macunaíma é o herói sem caráter, símbolo de um povo que não descobriu sua identidade. Uma releitura do folclore, das lendas e mitos do Brasil, escrita numa linguagem popular e oral.

Publicado em 1928, Macunaíma representou por muito tempo o símbolo do “povo brasileiro” ou ainda do que chamamos de “nação”. Esta edição, que conta com o estabelecimento do texto de Telê Ancona Lopez e Tatiana Longo Figueiredo, oferece uma nova chave de leitura ao romance, com foco especial para as fontes indígenas usadas por Mário na produção do romance. Como disse o próprio autor: “copiei, copiei às vezes textualmente[...], não só os etnógrafos e os textos ameríndios, mais ainda, na “Carta pras Icamiabas”, pus frases inteiras de Rui Barbosa, de Mário Barreto, dos cronistas portugueses coloniais”. No texto de Lúcia Sá, se explicita a cópia de trechos int...

Café é o romance inédito tão esperado de Mário de Andrade. Segundo o próprio escritor, o livro seria “um romance de páginas cheias de psicologia e intensa vida”. No universo ficcional, migrante como tantos da mesma região, Chico Antônio passa pela capital, antes de seguir para uma fazenda de café, cultivo que muita riqueza garantira aos paulistas. Aqui, tem-se uma trama muito bem-articulada, personagens vigorosas, capazes de traduzir situações humanas intensas e de ultrapassar, assim, um tempo demarcado historicamente no Brasil.
