        Rose aus Asche

        Spanische und spanisch-amerikanische Gedichte 1900–1950

        by Erwin Walter Palm, Erwin Walter Palm, Hilde Domin

        Zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen stand die spanische Dichtung noch einmal in der vordersten Reihe der europäischen Lyrik. Deren wichtigste Vertreter, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Antonio Machado, Rafael Alberti, Jorge Guillén und Federico García Lorca, gehören inzwischen zu den Klassikern des 20.Jahrhunderts. Die Proben lateinamerikanischer Lyrik von Gabriela Mistral, César Vallejo, Jorge Carrera Andrade und anderen vermitteln ein Bild von der literarischen Eigenständigkeit eines Kontintents, der sich bewußt von europäischen Modellen löste, um zu sich selbst zu finden.

        Photography and documentary film in the making of modern Brazil

        by Luciana Martins, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        Photography and documentary film in the making of modern Brazil provides a major contribution to the field of visual culture through a study of still and moving images of Brazil in the first four decades of the twentieth century, when the camera played a key role in making Brazilian peoples and places visible to a variety of audiences. The book explores what is distinctive about the visual representation of Brazil in an era of modernisation, also attending to the significance of the different technical properties of film and photography for the writing of new histories of visual technologies. It offers new insights into the work of key writers, photographers, anthropologists and filmmakers, including Claude Lévi-Strauss, Mário de Andrade, Silvino Santos and Aloha Baker. Unearthing a wealth of materials from archives in the USA, Britain, and Brazil, the book seeks to contribute to the postcolonial theoretical project of pinpointing locally distinctive histories of visual technologies and practices. ;

        Crónicas de melancolía eufórica

        by Mario de Andrade / Rosario Lázaro Igoa / Martín Verges

        Las crónicas de Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), dan cuenta tanto de un paisaje exterior como de una mirada íntima. No se trata del registro que podría realizar una cámara objetiva dispuesta a explorar la realidad del mundo visible, sino de una experiencia privada que se proyecta sobre todas las cosas como una luz indirecta y reveladora. Así, el cronista se sube a un ómnibus en Sâo Paulo o a una barcaza que lo llevará a remontar el Amazonas, y su viaje siempre es doble, a la vez hacia afuera y hacia lo profundo, y no es posible diferenciar uno del otro. De Andrade es un finísimo observador capaz de perderse en ensoñaciones ensimismadas, ideas febriles, alucinadas, que repentinamente adquieren una brillante lucidez. El obsequio que cada uno de los textos seleccionados y reunidos aquí nos ofrece es participar de la forma en que una sensibilidad poderosa, delirante y lúdica permite que las fuerzas de la vida la atraviesen, eufórica y melancólicamente a un tiempo, sin contradicción alguna.

        Saving Little Red Riding Hood

        by Claudine Bernardes, Graziela Eskelsen and Ana Barbosa

        The Fearsome Wolf lives hidden among us.Would you like to help Little Red Riding Hood?   This book tells the simple yet profound story of a girl facing a problem and ultimately finding the support she needs to overcome it. The authors skillfully use the timeless archetype of the big bad wolf, employing a classic narrative structure woven from real phrases spoken by children the authors have assisted. It refrains from offering explicit instructions or moral lessons, and you won't find the term "sexual abuse" explicitly mentioned in its pages.    This story serves as a powerful tool to shed light on a critical issue and, more importantly, to encourage those who may have experienced similar situations to share their stories and seek help. Every child has the fundamental right to grow up in an environment characterized by respect, where their innocence is preserved.   This fairy tale goes to the heart of so many wounded and silenced girls and boys, it encourages them to speak: it is time to tell their stories, to look for those who will listen to them.    It reminds us that hope accompanies us even in the worst moments, bringing a ray of light to that dark forest; It shows us that there is a path to finish that pain and towards freedom.   This illustrated album addresses, in a symbolic way, violence, mistreatment and children sexual abuse.    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in five girls and one in thirteen boys are sexually abused before the age of 17. Sexual abuse, especially inflicted during childhood, condition the future mental, sexual and physical health of a person; in many cases, they remain secret even in adulthood.
