2020Iniciação à direção teatral
by Machado Santos, Gláucio
"A historiografia sobre as artes cênicas no ocidente, em linhas gerais, concorda que a moderna encenação teatral possui sua certidão de batismo em dois textos fundadores: 1884, A arte da encenação: ensaio de estética teatral de Louis Bec de Fouquières, e 1903, Conversas sobre a encenação de André Antoine. Assim, em termos de cultura teatral ocidental, pode-se considerar que o conceito de moderna direção teatral e consequentemente o perfil do diretor possuiriam pouco mais de cem anos de idade. O que dizer então do processo de transmissão deste jovem ofício às novas gerações? Ensaiar, dirigir, encenar, performar. Esses são verbos que, na língua portuguesa, sinalizam atitudes criativas distintas em relação ao palco. O comportamento criativo do coordenador da cena teatral reflete a mentalidade de sua época. Assim, o ensaiador luso-brasileiro esteve condicionado pela técnica teatral associada aos gêneros dramáticos; o moderno diretor passou a ser o porta-voz, o mediador poético das palavras do autor da peça; enquanto que o encenador procurou expressar, por meio de uma escrita cênica arrojada, mais sobre si próprio e suas inquietações sobre o mundo do que sobre o resíduo escrito por outrem; e o performador vem performando na contemporaneidade, atritando mais do que nunca o real e o ficcional, o autobiográfico e o discurso sobre as minorias e temas atinentes à pós-modernidade, reciclando formas e gêneros. Como estabelecer então os fundamentos desta formação técnica e desta arte centenária? Simples. Leia este livro que você tem em mãos e aventure-se. Descubra o diretor teatral que existe em você. Conciliando fundamentos do ensino dispensado nos Conservatórios europeus com a teoria e prática do teatro advindas do ensino universitário, Gláucio Machado nos oferece caminhos seguros os quais associam esforço criativo e trabalho intelectual para oferecer uma sólida iniciação à formação do diretor teatral. — WALTER LIMA TORRES NETO (Professor titular de Estudos Teatrais na UFPR em Curitiba)."

December 2020Why I can't like him/her?
by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck
Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2020AMAZON MOUTH
Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

The ArtsAugust 2019SOUTH AMERICAN CITIES AS CULTURAL ARENAS
by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto and Adrián Gorelik (editors)
Organized by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto, professor at the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, and Adrián Gorelik, professor at the University of Quilmes, this book is the result of a collective research project about the cultural urban history in South America, which was developed by a group of South American researchers. Using as a compass the notion of “cultural arena”, this work performs a reflection on the city as a place of cultural germination, experimentation and resistance. Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.
