A novel about a Franciscan priest, Nando, who embarks on a sort of mystical or messianic mission to replicate past Jesuit missions or reductions* in the centre of Brazil in the second half of 20th century? Or perhaps the novel is a dystopian utopia? A failed project to replicate Catholic Jesuit reductions* for 20th c. indigenous populations? Self-sufficient missionary enclaves of subservience, indoctrination and/ or ‘slavery’ in utopian communities of some future? A long sermon addressed at the Brazilian nation by a preacher-narrator? A rather ponderous narrative with thematic echoes of Brazilian classical & contemporary authors: Antônio Vieira, J. de Alencar, Machado de Assis, Viscount of Taunay, Júlio Ribeiro, Mário de Andrade. Lima Barreto, Euclides da Cunha, Guimarães Rosa, Clarice Lispector, Osman Lins & many more. A socio-theological-historical novel with a psychological overtone: a Catholic man of cloth in search of his own self embarking on rites of passage, which drag him deeper into an fatal quagmire of religion, politics, sex and drugs plus seven deadly vices of the soul & guilt-ridden moral crises! Antonio Callado’s (or is it the narrator’s?) critique of the 1964 military regime in Brazil, but also a challenge to the many dogmas of the left. * In this year of the 400th anniversary of the Reformation, let’s be reminded of the Jesuits as the pope’s shock troops to stop Protestantism from1560s, organized along military lines with key rules of self- discipline and obedience to their leader, commonly called ‘the General’: preachers, teachers, confessors, organizers, scientists, explorers, diplomats and spies, zealously founding schools and colleges, monasteries on every continent and especially in Americas & working their way into or becoming government! The Catholic reductions in Brazil can be regarded as heirs to medieval monasteries: Christian, European of various denominations, Buddhist and others, engaging in all sorts of profitable enterprises, herding, trading and ‘enslaving’ their followers in one way or other… DETAILS OF AVAILABLE PUBLICATIONS: ENGLISH 1970 - Quarup : A novel , translated by Barbara Shelby.

It is the third novel by the author. The preceding 1954 Assunção de Salviano and 1957 A Madona de Cedro already foreshadow some of the themes and are linked through the ancient Christian and other religious and theological content. The multi-layered writing style, with weaving of various narrative threads, which are interspersed with references to numerous sources, is present in the first two novels and a major stylistic feature of Callado’s discourse. Often, it feels like a chameleonic narrative, perhaps trying a bit too hard to seduce and/or challenge the reader. At other times, one can hear sermon-like passages criticizing the numerous foibles and failures of the quite young nation, Brazil. Just before his death, the author would argue that Quarup was not his best novel. He regarded his Reflexos do Baile (1976) as a more accomplished work. Quarup could perhaps be described as standing on the borderline between fictional narrative, literary journalism with elements of a sort of creative non-fiction. The first publication of the novel dates back to 1967, and it has been reprinted numerous times since then. The author was well travelled on account of his journalistic work as a war correspondent and accrued a reasonable amount of first- hand experience of places and cultures. He used to claim that the five years working at BBC World Service (Brazil Service) was the best education he had ever had. A. Callado returned to Brazil in 1947 having stated that he had rediscovered his passion for Brazil in Britain and was, thus, able to follow the changes in Brazil after the war in his role as a reporter/journalist. He had already exploited the themes of the indigenous populations of Brazil, particularly of the Xingu area in his fictional work. In 1952, Callado travelled to Xingu 27 years after the disappearance of the British Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett as he tried to locate the ‘Lost City of Z’, an Eldorado, in that area of Brazil in 1925 and ©BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB – CULTURAL SECTION - EMBASSY OF BRAZIL IN LONDON All rights reserved - Creator & Convenor -©Nadia Kerecuk 14-16 Cockspur Street London SW11Y 5BL http://londres.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/book_club.xml 2017- Celebrating the love of reading Brazilian literature The year of #lovetoreadBrazil vanished along with his companions. Col. Fawcett had been to Brazil before because he had read a document, which claimed that there was a lost abandoned city in the sertão, which allegedly had been discovered and recorded by the Bandeirantes in the 18th century. Duly authorized by the Government of Brazil, the colonel went on two expeditions in 1920 and 1925. On his last journey, he came with his eldest son Jack and a young Raleigh Rimmel but the three of them vanished without trace. 25 years later, bones, which could be theirs, were found in a lake near the Culuene River, a tributary of the Xingu River. A. Callado would travel with the colonel’s youngest son Brian to verify the claim. Callado researched Fawcett’s life and recorded the views of the Kalapalos (one of 17 indigenous groups there and the first Xingu tribe to be contacted by the Villas- Bôas brothers in 1945). Callado advocated the creation of a national indigenous park there as would other personalities in Brazil. Esqueleto na Lagoa Verde [Skeleton in the Green Lagoon], exceptional reportage for the time in Brazil, ensued and was published in 1953. It was a fascinating report, which also partially served as inspiration for his novel Quarup. In retracing the steps of the British explorers and the other people who tried to understand the colonel’s obsession, Callado produced a report about the dream of the Victorian explorer in the tropics, reimagining his meeting with the local indigenous population. The Xingu Indigenous Park, one of the Brazilian federal parks, was created in 1961 in the state of Mato Grosso. It is regarded as the largest and best known reserves of the kind in the world. Its area is of 2.5 million hectares comprising 16 ethnic groups (Kamayurás, Yawalapitís, Waurás, Kalapalos, Awetis and Ikpengs). The initiative has roots in the 1941 ‘March to the West’ policy of the government ©BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB – CULTURAL SECTION - EMBASSY OF BRAZIL IN LONDON All rights reserved - Creator & Convenor -©Nadia Kerecuk 14-16 Cockspur Street London SW11Y 5BL http://londres.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/book_club.xml 2017- Celebrating the love of reading Brazilian literature The year of #lovetoreadBrazil of President Getúlio Vargas (1882-1954) aimed at the development of the vast Western parts of Brazil scantily populated. During the first half of 19th century, there had been initiatives to expand, occupy and develop the south of Brazil, and to replace the slave labour as the first-step initiative to abolish slavery in Brazil, which resulted in a policy to bring European immigrants to populate that part of Brazil. Advertising about the incentive programme to bring immigrants to Brazil ensued throughout Europe – from Wales (UK) to Central Europe and Ukraine. This, was a continuation of polices adopted by the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves (1815-1822) and the Emperor Dom Pedro bringing immigrants from the other parts of the Kingdom and from Europe to Brazil. In the Imperial period, a special call for people with intellectual, scientific and technological knowledge wishing to come to Brazil was released as well and resulted in the arrival from immigrants from all over Europe including Iceland and helped shaped the he melting pot that Brazil is. The creation of the Xingu Park was aimed at protecting an area, where there were various indigenous tribes (some, which had never been contacted or unknown). Various campaigners had advocated the creation of the park. One could argue that the original groundwork had been prepared by Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Marshall Rondon (1865 –1958), a notable military engineer involved in extending

  • Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II
    Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II: The Art of Making Friends Darlene J. Sadlier, Indiana University, USA In August 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt named Nelson A. Rockefeller to head the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA), a new federal agency whose main objective was to strengthen cultural and commercial relations between the U.S and Latin America, in particular Brazil, in order to route Axis influence and secure hemispheric solidarity. On November 7, 1940, just months after the CIAA‘s inception, Robert G. Caldwell and Wallace K. Harrison, Chairman and Director, respectively, of the agency‘s Cultural Relations Division, received written approval for twenty-six special projects at a cost of nearly one-half million dollars.i The most expensive, at $150,000, was an Inter-American exhibit of art and culture under the direction of the MoMA, to be held simultaneously with parallel exhibits in capital cities throughout the Americas.ii Two hundred fifty-five U.S. paintings were curated by the MoMA in conjunction with other major museums, and in April 1941, these were previewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Portions of the large exhibit then toured eight South American republics, Mexico and Cuba for close to a year, beginning with an exposition at Mexico City‘s Palacio de Bellas Artes in June.iii The emphasis was on modern art and included paintings by Georgia O‘Keefe, Thomas Hart Benton, Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis, Loren MacIver, Eugene Speicher, Peter Hurd and Robert Henri, among others. A file in the MoMA archive has valuations of all the paintings at the time, the highest valued being George Bellows‘s Dempsey and Firpo and Georgia O‘Keefe‘s The White Flower at $25,000 each.

The first stirring began in the early 50*8 with the discontent of young filmmakers who objected to imitative Hollywood musical comedies, known as "chanchadas," which dominated traditional Brazilian cinema. This protest found a response araong young film critics who were inspired by Italian neo- realism and other foreign influences to demand a cinema indigenous to Brazil. A bandful of young directors were determined to discover a cinematic language that would reflect the nation's social and human problems.

Starting from a description of the uluki exchange ceremony, we will discuss how this ritual, by mobilizing Xinguano ideas about friendship, produces contexts of interaction in which characteristics of intra-village sociality are extended to regional sociality. At the same time that the uluki defines, together with other regional rituals, a certain “Xinguano interiority” (the world of multi-community rituals), it is also one of its main forms of opening, having the potential to attract to the Xinguano world not only singular persons, but entire groups.

  • Affective Memory and Dignified Childhood in the Production by Brazilian Writer Clarice Lispector
    ANAMORPHOSIS – Revista Internacional de Direito e Literatura v. 2, n. 1, janeiro-junho 2016 © 2016 by RDL – doi: 10.21119/anamps.21.169-181 AFFECTIVE MEMORY AND DIGNIFIED CHILDHOOD IN THE PRODUCTION BY BRAZILIAN WRITER CLARICE LISPECTOR MÍRIAM COUTINHO DE FARIA ALVES1 TRANSLATED BY FELIPE ZOBARAN ABSTRACT: This article aims at analyzing the concept of affective memory as a category in the imaginary of children’s rights from the perspective of Law and Literature. The focus are the connections between childhood memories and adult personality, regarding the character Virgínia in the novel The chandelier (O lustre), by Clarice Lispector, in order to exemplify the function of affective memory and the universal right to a dignified childhood. The function of affective memories is an important trace in the process of identity formation, which contributes to the development of a legal theory regarding children’s rights. Affection is considered a foundation for dignified life, and literary legal reflections contribute to the rethinking of childhood, in the eyes of Law and social studies. KEYWORDS: affective memory; Clarice Lispector; right to a dignified childhood. INITIAL THOUGHTS Benedito Nunes (1989, p. 105), as an exponent in analyzing the production by Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, indicates the reflexive, uncanny features of the fictional characters created by her, and emphasizes the density of her narrative regarding consciousness. Such a deep attempt of acknowledging the human condition seems linked to legal studies, as it reveals bonds between Law and Literature. 1 Doctor degree in Law (Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA).

  • The Beautiful Game? Hegemonic Masculinity, Women and Football in Brazil and Argentina DAVID WOOD University of Sheffield, UK
    Bulletin of Latin American Research, Vol. 37, No. 5, pp. 567–581, 2018 The Beautiful Game? Hegemonic Masculinity, Women and Football in Brazil and Argentina DAVID WOOD University of Sheffield, UK The practice of football by women in Latin America is an integral part of historical patterns around the performance of gender roles and offers insights into how power, both symbolic and political, is subject to ongoing processes of negotiation. A study of women’s involvement as spectators and players in Brazil and Argentina since the early twentieth century sees football emerge as a field in which the construction of gender identities, both personal and national, may be contested. More recently, a growing presence of female players, writers and academics suggests that female agency through football in Latin America is an increasingly realistic goal. Keywords: Argentina, Brazil, football, Latin America, Marta, women. Taking the Field Football in Latin America has become firmly established as a subject of study for historians, sociologists, anthropologists and literary scholars, especially in relation to Argentina and Brazil, but the great majority of publications arising from such work focus entirely on the game as played by men. Indeed, some influential authors have depicted football in the region as an entirely male affair: Argentinian anthropologist Eduardo Archetti, for example, wrote in 1994 that football was and still is a typical and exclusively masculine sport in Argentina (Archetti, 1994: 226), reiterating almost a decade later that the world of football is exclusively male, an encounter in the stadium [ … ] between competing groups of male players and supporters (Archetti, 2003: 220).
