"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)."
Luz & Tom Os diferentes eixos temáticos (amor, política, transcendência, humor, a cidade, entre outros) podem ser encontrados neste livro onde alguns poemas ganham o palco enquanto poesia encenada e/ou canção, valendo-se Laureatti da sua primeira formação em teatro. Isto é, um poeta-ator que, de seus próprios escritos, e do diálogo com o teatro em poemas encenados e, talvez, sobretudo na interatividade com a própria cultura de saraus na qual está inserido, enquanto sujeito coletivo e histórico, apresenta-nos inesgotáveis possibilidades de significações e ressignificações do mundo e do trabalho poético, inclusive até, é claro, com algumas canções e cenas teatrais do livro de poemas escrito de próprio punho, Luz & Tom.”.(Cláudio Antônio da Silva. Em artes, Cláudio Laureatti. Natural de São Paulo. Poeta e ator, participa da cena poética dos saraus desde os anos 90. Integrou a Cooperifa e foi um dos vencedores da Quinta Bienal de Arte, Ciência e Cultura da UNE. Light & tone The different thematic axes (love, politics, transcendence, humor, city, among others) can be found in this book where some poems come into the scene as poetry and/or staged song, where Laureatti is making use of his first training, in theater. In other words, an actor-poet who, from his writings, and from the dialogue with the theater in staged poems and, perhaps, mainly in interactivity with the very culture of soirees in which he is inserted, as a collective and historical subject, presents himself in the inexhaustible possibilities of meanings and reinterpretations of the world and poetic work, including, of course, some songs and theatrical scenes from the book of poems by its own author, Light & Tone.” (Cláudio Antônio da Silva. Known as Cláudio Laureatti. Born in São Paulo, poet and actor, participates in the poetry scene of soirees since the 90s. He was a partner at Cooperifa and was one of the winners of the 5th Biennial of Art, Science and Culture at UNE.
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.

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.

Carlos García is told in the newspaper that his name is too common. For this reason, when he begins to write the chronicles of FC Barcelona, he signs as K. Behind the mask of the pseudonym, the student who dreamed of newsrooms engulfed in smoke and screams at closing time begins his promising career without having left university. But dreams are seldom made of real material. Between football stadiums, ballpoint pen caps and lonely hotel rooms, K. imposes on himself a happiness that he will never own. The rise and fall of a legendary team, the decrepitude of a profession that only finds refuge in the big headlines and some journalists who hide behind their screens set a chronicle of chronicles in which the final result remains to be discovered. Soccer players, journalism or K. Who will accept the final defeat?

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.

The reader is transported to the movements that develop within the chaotic and turbulent psychological functioning and that question the certainties of life. The arduous task of facing feelings, the author indicates that you need to 'look in the stars some sort of encouragement to pain' and see how the other interferes with our psyche and can save us or condemn us. The work challenges us to walk the path of the characters and the discovery of who we really are, or want to be. In the words of one character, 'You have to get lost to find yourself.'
