Tecituras das cidades
Entre as intensas transformações da contemporaneidade, uma das mais impactantes é o crescimento das cidades, desafiando os intérpretes do urbano a construir estratégias para compreender e explicar esse processo. As cidades são territórios que comportam múltiplas experiências individuais e coletivas, sendo identificadas como lugar para se viver, trabalhar, rezar, divertir, enfim, uma infinidade de práticas. Dessa forma, constituem-se múltiplas e contrastadas representações e memórias das cidades, cenários em constante movimento e que contêm redes simbólicas diferenciadas. As urbes são caracterizadas e identificadas por suas vias, pedras, tijolos e prédios, mas, para além disso, também se configuram enquanto territórios urbanos que possuem polifonias e musicalidades, compondo "paisagens sonoras". Nesse sentido, esta obra prioriza debates e discussões sobre as questões que envolvem cidade-história-música, demonstrando a vitalidade da temática, os avanços das pesquisas recentes, reunindo investigadores de diferentes perspectivas e que abordam aspectos diferenciados.
"O nascimento do morto": punkzines, Cólera e música popular brasileira
Este livro procura investigar a cultura punk ao longo das décadas de 1980 e 1990 e sua apropriação pelo mercado de massa. Para tanto, discute o "niilismo punk juvenil", considerado como estratégico para se compreender a cultura punk representada nos fanzines. Verifica como foram produzidos esses fanzines e suas formas de circulação no interior do movimento punk. Problematiza o posicionamento anarquista e as visões políticas, econômicas, sociais e religiosas dos editores. Prioriza-se a trajetória do grupo paulistano Cólera, por intermédio dos boletins organizados por seu fã-clube, permitindo recuperar a atuação da banda dentro e fora da cena underground, bem como os impasses e questionamentos ao grupo em razão de sua proximidade com a grande mídia. O movimento e sonoridade punk e suas tensões com a música popular brasileira e com o rock comercial são rastreados, visando reaver um espaço para o punk brasileiro dentro da historiografia da "MPB".

The Dionysian Vision of the World
Before the world knew of the thinker who “philosophizes with a hammer,” there was a young, passionate thinker who was captivated by the two forces found within Greek art: Dionysus and Apollo. In this essay, which was the forerunner to his groundbreaking book The Birth of Tragedy, The Dionysian Vision of the World provides an unparalleled look into the philosophical mind of one of Europe’s greatest and provocative intellects at the beginning of his philosophical interrogation on the subject of art. “While dreaming is the game man plays with reality as an individual, the visual artist (in the larger sense) plays a game with dreaming.” This is the Dionysian vision of the world.
