The Brazilian Sound
At the second International Song Festival in 1967, Milton Nascimento had three songs accepted for competition. He had no intention of performing them--he hated the idea of intense competition. In fact, Nascimento might never have appeared at all if Eumir Deodato hadn't threatened not to write the arrangements for his songs if he didn't perform at least two of them. Nascimento went on to win the festival's best performer award, all three of his songs were included soon afterward on his first album, and the rest is history. This is only one anecdote from The Brazilian Sound, an encyclopedic survey of Brazilian popular music that ranges over samba, bossa nova, MPB, jazz and instrumental music a...
Perspectives on Theory of Controversies and the Ethics of Communication
Assembling an unprecedented range of considered responses to the noted contributions to philosophy made by Marcelo Dascal, this collection comprises the work of his many friends, colleagues and former students. Beginning with a series of articles on Dascal’s influential insights on philosophical controversy, this volume continues with explorations of Dascal’s celebrated scholarship on Liebnitz, before moving on to papers dealing with his philosophy of language, including interpretations by Dresner and Herring on the phenomenon of emoticons. Taken as a whole, they provide a compelling commentary on Dascal’s prolific and voluminous publications and include fresh perspectives on the theor...
Contemporary Carioca
The ethnomusicologist Frederick Moehn introduces a generation of Rio-based musicians who build on the música popular brasileira (MPB) of previous decades, but who have yet to receive scholarly attention. This generation, the "children of the dictatorship," reinvigorated Brazilian genres such as samba and maracatu through juxtaposition with international influences, including rock, techno, and funk. Moehn offers vivid depictions of Rio musicians as they creatively combine and reconcile local realities with global trends and exigencies.
Linguistic Diversity and Discrimination
This collection explores the ways in which women in academia from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds mediate the negotiation of linguistic discrimination and linguistic diversity in higher education, using autoethnography to make visible their lived experiences. The volume shows how women in academia from CaLD backgrounds, particularly those living or working in the Global South, draw on their multivalent complex linguistic backgrounds and cultural repertoires to cope with, and manage, linguistic and systemic gender discrimination. In adopting authoethnography as its key methodology, the book encourages these academics to ‘write themselves’ beyond the conventions from whic...

Children’s and youth telenovelas: essays on the poetics of works by Íris Abravanel
This book is the result of several years of research on children’s and youth telenovelas, which began during my doctoral studies and with previously disseminated productions in the form of conference papers, scientific articles, and book chapters, but always in the Portuguese language. More than a compilation of these materials, the purpose of this book is to rescue the presented concepts, while updating them, and reconsidering the analyses conducted by intersecting them. It also aims to contribute to the internationalization of the research by presenting it in a new language (English), going beyond the limits of the Portuguese-speaking world.
Benditas coisas que eu não sei
Em seu primeiro livro, Zélia Duncan se aventura por um texto melódico em que nos fala de voz e silêncio, prazeres e espantos, inspirações e paixões, descobertas e criações, palco e plateia, ritmos, passos e compassos. Não é uma biografia explícita ou mesmo implícita, é uma conversa descontraída em que ela conjuga todos os verbos e vozes da sua trajetória pessoal e artística. Escritora de sensibilidade apurada, texto fluente e saboroso, Zélia brinca, se diverte e nos encanta com as palavras, extraindo delas todo seu potencial expressivo e poético, e faz isso com uma mão nas costas. Compôs aqui uma trilha de memórias e nostalgias felizes, em que a música, sua grande musa, reina soberana: inspirando e transformando, bagunçando certezas, abrindo espaço para novas percepções. "Benditas coisas que eu não sei" é franco e revigorante como um bate-papo com um amigo, acolhedor e cativante como as melhores canções.
