  • Introduction
    Introduction In order to commemorate the centenary of Roger Casement’s first voyage to the Amazon, this special issue of ABEI Journal No. 12 focuses on one of the most controversial figures of the 1916 Easter Rising. Roger Casement played an important role during the Amazon rubber boom and his writings about his Brazilian expeditions may be placed in the wider context of antislavery activism. He was British Consul in Santos (September 1906 - January 1908), in Belém do Pará (February 1908 - February 1909) and Consul-General in Rio de Janeiro (March 1909 - August 1913). In 1910, he travelled to the Amazon, commissioned by the British Government to investigate crimes against humanity being committed on the border between Peru, Colombia and Brazil. The story of the rubber industry connects the Amazon to central Africa during the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium, and to the commercial hubs of the industrialised world at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Rubber belongs to the celebratory narratives of western modernization and was a central issue in the Amazon where it acquired tragic proportions. It has also changed various regions of the world as a result of acts of violence practiced against the indigenous communities inhabiting the tropical rainforests. In August 2010 the W. B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies at the University of São Paulo, the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies and the Federal University of Amazonas organized the first international interdisciplinary symposium on Roger Casement in Manaus, taking as its focus his 1910 voyage to the Putumayo. Co-organised by Laura Izarra, Angus Mitchell and Luiz Bitton Telles da Rocha, the conference discussed key aspects of Transatlantic and Latin American relations involved in the complicated politics of the Amazon rubber boom, as well as Roger Casement’s political and literary legacy.

  • Competition Jury
    MATTIA OMETTO | Italy President of the Jury The winner of a vast array of awards both in Europe and the United States, Ometto quickly established himself as an artist whose gifts hark back to the Golden Age of classical piano performance, gifts that reflect an artistry that is formed in equal parts by his Venetian background, the influence of his studies in Paris with the legendary Aldo Ciccolini, and in Palm Springs with the American virtuoso Earl Wild. Ometto performs regularly in Europe and the United States. Following his recital debut in Paris at the Théatre du Rond Point des Champs Elysées and in New York City at Carnegie Hall, he appeared both in recital and as soloist with orchestra in New York (Carnegie Hall, Bargemusic), New Jersey, Des Moines (Sheslow Auditorium), Boston (Bradley Hall), Venice (Gran Teatro la Fenice), Berlin, in Los Angeles with the Lyric Symphony orchestra, in Ankara (Turkey) with Academic Baskent Orchestra, in Vidin (Bulgaria) with the Vidin State Philharmonic Orchestra, and in Padua (Italy) with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto. Ometto has also worked with renowned conductors such as Luigi Piovano, Maurizio Dini Ciacci, Charles Gambetta and Ertug Korkmaz, just to name a few. Broadcasts of Ometto’s performances and interviews have been featured on numerous radio stations, such as BBC London, Kulturradio Berlin, France Musique, Rai International, Radiotre, Raitrade, Radio della Svizzera Italiana, Radioclassica, Radio Romania, Iowa State Radio, Kanal B Ankara, and WGBH Boston. His discography comprises the critically acclaimed live recording of Poulenc’s Concerto for two pianos and Orchestra (Leonora Armellini, OPV, Luigi Piovano - Brilliant Classics), Johannes Brahms’ complete music for two pianos again with Leonora Armellini (Da Vinci) and the World Premiere Recording of the complete music for two pianos and piano four-hands by Reynaldo Hahn with the legendary pianist and Liszt scholar Leslie Howard (Melba Recordings, 2 CDs).

  • Amazoncruisingthe
    AmazonCRUISINGTHE On day two of his traditional Amazon River and Negro River nature cruise, Carlos Probst takes guests out for some early afternoon piranha fishing. Probst makes the ship’s captain guide the 70-foot shallow-hull riverboat toward the lush tree-canopied shore, so that passengers can depart on canoes to do battle with the notoriously ferocious fish. The tackle is simple: bamboo rod, fishing line and a hook. For bait, Probst prefers raw meat, but anything will do for this not-so-finicky scavenger. He deadpans if anyone is willing to spare a finger. The joke invariably gets laughs from a crowd of around 16 who have already had a full day of activi- ties.
