Download or read book Brazil Imagined written by Darlene J. Sadlier and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive cultural history of Brazil to be written in English, Brazil Imagined: 1500 to the Present captures the role of the artistic imaginary in shaping Brazil's national identity. Analyzing representations of Brazil throughout the world, this ambitious survey demonstrates the ways in which life in one of the world's largest nations has been conceived and revised in visual arts, literature, film, and a variety of other media. Beginning with the first explorations of Brazil by the Portuguese, Darlene J. Sadlier incorporates extensive source material, including paintings, historiographies, letters, poetry, novels, architecture, and mass media to trace the nation's shifting sense of its own history. Topics include the oscillating themes of Edenic and cannibal encounters, Dutch representations of Brazil, regal constructs, the literary imaginary, Modernist utopias, "good neighbor" protocols, and filmmakers' revolutionary and dystopian images of Brazil. A magnificent panoramic study of race, imperialism, natural resources, and other themes in the Brazilian experience, this landmark work is a boon to the field.

You can apply all the concepts presented here to your own phrasing, composition, and improvisation. --"Gustavo's new book is the perfect resource for any guitarist interested in improving or widening their abilities with hybrid picking. Where I find most educational material either too dense or too dry, Gustavo has (as always) found the perfect way to present both a clear methodology and a fountain of musically interesting examples and etudes." -PLINI"--These expertly constructed exercises invite you to a contemporary world of structured tonalities, through which you are able to progress and transcend style." - VARDAN OVSEPIAN"-- Gustavo's creative, angular etudes will challenge your mind and your hands in equal measure; attempt to learn them and you'll have your work cut out for you!" - PER NILSSON (Meshuggah, Scar Symmetry)--"Get ready for Gustavo Assis-Brasil's newest and most challenging book on studies using the Hybrid Picking technique. "Advanced Hybrid Picking Etudes" presents valuable studies that will take you to the next level. The material is the most comprehensive ever made on the subject and has detailed applications of all your movements. I highly recommend it." - ISAAC NEGRENE--"In this new book, Gustavo Assis-Brasil presents a lot of material for exploring the mechanics of the guitar musically with the hybrid picking technique and also permutations for the left hand. A progressive approach is presented throughout the course, from preliminary etudes in the beginning, to full-fledged compositions. The pieces also have a sort of algorithmic approach in the transformation of raw permutations into real music. An outstanding resource for music and guitar." - DR. JULIO HERRLEIN

Download or read book Letters from Brazil written by Mark J. Curran and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters from Brazil: A Cultural-Historical Narrative Made Fiction recounts the adventures of young researcher Mike Gaherty in Brazil in the turbulent 1960s. It tells the story of his research on Brazilian folklore and folk-popular literature (with inevitable amorous moments along the way) while dodging encounters and threats from agents of the DOPS, Brazils chief espionage and anti-communist, anti-subversion agency. The nations military revolution of 1964 and subsequent evolution to dictatorship are the background for Gahertys ups and downs in Brazils Northeast, the Northeast Interior, Salvador da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Braslia, the Amazon, and a final harrowing time in Recife. The thread of the narrative is the series of letters requested of Gaherty by James Hansen of the New York Times (international section) and his later involvement with Stanley Iverson of the INR (Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the United States Department of State)-WHA (Western Hemisphere Affairs) reporting on Gahertys own research activities in Brazil and his discoveries of political and social sentiment in northeastern Brazil. The young American researcher reports as well on meetings with major Brazilian cultural figures, encounters with Brazilian Afro-Brazilian phenomena like Xango, Candomble, and Capoeira, impressive times during New Years Eve and the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, and cultural-travel highlights throughout Brazil. The fly in the ointment was the DOPS.
Download or read book Adventures of a Gringo Researcher in Brazil in the 1960 s written by Mark J. Curran and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of a "Gringo" Researcher in Brazil in the 1960s or In Search of Cordel is an entertaining and informative account of Professor Curran's first foray in Brazil. In this book he tells two stories: the research to collect cordel and, perhaps more importantly, the travel and the adventures of the year in Brazil. The two are inseparable and complement each other. Chapters include Recife and the Northeast, Travels to the interior of the Northeast, research in Brazil's colonial capital of Salvador da Bahia, research and tourism in Rio de Janeiro, trips to the interior of Rio, including Ouro Preto, Congonhas do Campo, and a memorable trip on a wood-burning stern wheeler on the Sao Francisco River in Minas Gerais and Bahia, and finally, research in the Amazon Basin, including both Belem do Para and Manaus. The account is not in academic language but in a colloquial, conversational style. Curran writes as one sitting down with the reader and telling tales of his travels, and perhaps with the author and reader enjoying a caipirinha, or a Brazilian draft beer choppe as they talk.
Download or read book Contextual Theology and Revolutionary Transformation in Latin America written by Angel D. Santiago-Vendrell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. audiences know Latin American liberation theologies largely through translations of Latin American Catholics from the 1970s and beyond. Most of the few known Protestant authors were students of Richard Shaull, whose critical thinking on social change, prophetic Christianity, and dialogue with Marxism and Christian use of Marxist analysis precedes the emergence of the formal schools of liberation theology by two decades. His own education at Princeton, and the education he provided in Brazil, charts the course of Protestant influences into this stream of theological reflection that became a global phenomenon in the latter decades of the twentieth century. Also, Shaull's career roughly parallels the emergence of the World Council of Churches and the engagement of the Catholic Church--in Latin America and around the world--after the Second Vatican Council. He himself was engaged, and became the flash point, in some of the major conferences, movements, and institutions of the 1960s and beyond. Santiago-Vendrell documents the entrance of the ecumenical movement in Brazil, among the most dramatic transformations in Catholic-Protestant relations around the globe, as well as Shaull's role in that development. Along the way he notes Shaull's prophetic and destabilizing role in the worldwide student movement in the 60s and 70s, charting decisions that mark the ecumenical movement. Shaull's contributions are important for an understanding of the ethical debates in the worldwide, ecumenical Protestant and Orthodox communities. Santiago-Vendrell examines primary, secondary, and historical documents that shine a light on Shaull's transformation into a contextual theologian of the poor. He offers a definitive view of this North American Protestant missionary who wrote extensively on Latin American liberation theology, the base Christian communities, and how conversion to solidarity with the poor offers transforming possibilities for the mainline churches' theological identity and practical faith.
