Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Children's & YAOikoá
by Felipe Valério

January 1985Vom Ursprung des Unterschieds in den Rangordnungen und Ständen der Gesellschaft
by John Millar, Herbert Zirker, William C. Lehmann
"Deutlicher noch als Smith und Ferguson hat Millar den Grundsatz formuliert, der es seiner Epoche erlaubte, die Naturgeschichte der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft als gesetzmäßigen Zusammenhang zu begreifen: die Menschengattung sei von Natur aus dazu disponiert, ihre Lebensumstände zu verbessern; und die Gleichartigkeit ihrer Bedürfnisse haben ebenso wie die Gleichheit der Fähigkeiten, diese Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen, überall zu einer bemerkenswerten Gleichförmigkeit in den Stufen der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung geführt."

Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2020Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries
by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin
This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

July 1988Versuch über die Geschichte der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft
by Adam Ferguson, Hans Medick, Zwi Batscha, Hans Medick
Diese Edition von Adam Fergusons An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767) macht eine zentrale Schrift aus der Vor- und Frühgeschichte der Sozialwissenschaften zugänglich. Fergusons Versuch enthält zentrale und originelle »soziologische Leitgedanken«. Das Zusammenleben der Menschen in Gruppen, ihre gesellschaftlichen Verhaltensweisen, die sozialen Normen, Verhältnisse und Prozesse werden als »Grundtatsachen« der menschlichen Geschichte begriffen. Doch die soziologischen Einsichten haben für Ferguson ihren Sinn nicht in sich selbst. Sie sind Vorstufe und Teil einer ebenso umfassenden wie differenzierten Kritik an der »verfeinerten« Kommerzgesellschaft seiner Zeit.

November 2011Sperrzone Fukushima es digital
Ein Bericht
by William T. Vollmann
Angesichts der Havarie in Fukushima tappten alle wochenlang im dunkeln: Was passierte wirklich in den Reaktorblöcken? War die Kernschmelze bereits eingetreten? Und ganz praktisch: Wie rechnet man eigentlich Sievert in Becquerel um? Kraftwerksbetreiber und Verwaltung schienen überfordert, Medienberichte waren widersprüchlich, selbst den Geigerzählern war nicht zu trauen. In dieser Situation machte sich William T. Vollmann, ausgestattet mit einem Dosimeter und Jodtabletten aus dem Kalten Krieg, Anfang April auf den Weg ins japanische Katastrophengebiet. »Vollmann reist durch ein zerstörtes, doppelt und dreifach heimgesuchtes Land, weil er mit eigenen Augen sehen will, was geschehen ist. Weil er es aufschreiben und so das Unbegreifbare, das Unsichtbare sichtbar machen will. Und dieses Unsichtbare ist nicht abstrakt, sondern ganz konkret. Es heißt Radioaktivität. Deswegen muss Vollmann bis zum Äußersten gehen, bis an die Grenze, in die Sperrzone eben.« (Richard Kämmerlings in der Welt am Sonntag)
