Metamorphosed Margins
The Grottesche, Renaissance ornament, came out of the grotto in the 1480's in Rome - inspired by the Ancient Roman wall paintings discovered in the 'buried' Domus Aurea - just as Ovid's "Metamorphoses" reached a much wider readership in Italy and in Europe. As primary source for all'anticha (hi)stories and meaning, the Metamorphoses fuelled artistic imagination and meaning expressed in Grottesche compositions and motifs for a good part of their 200-year life. The unique ornament entered many art forms, covering Europe; and was revived in the 1700's and 1900's. This book makes an argument about what the Grottesche had meant to their 15th and 16th century contemporaries by looking at 7 locations, still visitable today. Hamburg-based researcher Victor Kommerell has written an engaging account of his findings, which invites art and cultural historians, Italy lovers and 'educational tourists' to delve into the often neglected margins.
Repressão Estatal e Discurso: A Legitimação da Letalidade Policial em Curitiba (2017-2018)
No livro Repressão estatal e discurso: a legitimação da letalidade policial em Curitiba (2017-2018), após a análise de diversos processos judiciais que arquivaram os inquéritos sobre homicídios praticados por policiais, o autor aborda como o discurso sobre essas mortes, desde o momento da ação letal, é minuciosamente construído pela polícia para justificar juridicamente a respectiva ação e resultar em arquivamento da investigação e, consequentemente, não responsabilização do Estado. Contudo, ao interpretar esse fenômeno, o autor situa a letalidade policial dentro de uma política de repressão do Estado capitalista, entendendo esse fenômeno como uma necessidade estatal para garantir os interesses da classe dominante, a burguesia, e contribuindo para a regularização da sociabilidade burguesa. Por tais motivos, com base na teoria marxista, esta obra traz uma perspectiva crítica sobre a letalidade policial, compreendendo-a na sociedade capitalista contemporânea.

Victor
Victor tells the story of a young man in German occupied Belgium, who became a Jesuit priest, and managed to sneak out of war torn Europe to escape to the United States, where he taught at Loyola University, and lectured throughout the south. Father Dossogne was a regular on a New Orleans radio talk show, and was quite athletic in his youth. Later he taught at Trinidad State College until his vision failed. Victor shows how many obstacles in life can be overcome through perseverance and sheer determination.
Selected Poems of Victor Hugo
Although best known as the author of Notre Dame de Paris and Les Misérables, Victor Hugo was primarily a poet—one of the most important and prolific in French history. Despite his renown, however, there are few comprehensive collections of his verse available and even fewer translated editions. Translators E. H. and A. M. Blackmore have collected Victor Hugo's essential verse into a single, bilingual volume that showcases all the facets of Hugo's oeuvre, including intimate love poems, satires against the political establishment, serene meditations, religious verse, and narrative poems illustrating his mastery of the art of storytelling and his abiding concern for the social issues of his ...
