  • Recepção Lusófona De Hermann Broch
    1 Bonomo, D. - Recepção lusófona de Broch Recepção lusófona de Hermann Broch – Período 1959-2015 [Hermann Broch’s reception in Brazil and Portugal between 1959 and 2015] http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/1982-88371928119 Daniel Bonomo1 Abstract: The response, in Brazil and Portugal, to recently published editions of the novels The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Vergil by Hermann Broch shows a growing interest in, or perhaps a rather late response to, the author. One might wonder what events have been shaping the history of his literary presence in the Portuguese speaking world. This paper takes an unprecedented look at how Broch’s fictional and theoretical works have been received, in Portuguese, from the 1950s to the present day and provides a framework of main events – inclusions in the literary historiography, translations, theoretical and artistic utilizations. The objective is to expand the map of Broch’s readings and to offer references which might promote further discussions and advance the research on the author and his work. Keywords: German literature; Hermann Broch; Reception in Brazil and Portugal Resumo: Edições publicadas entre 2011 e 2014 no Brasil e em Portugal dos romances Os sonâmbulos e A morte de Virgílio, de Hermann Broch, mais que indícios de um interesse crescente ou uma acolhida tardia, incentivam pensar que episódios vêm compondo a história de sua presença em língua portuguesa. O artigo apresenta um levantamento inédito da recepção lusófona das obras ficcional e teórica de Hermann Broch desde o fim da década de 1950 até o presente e fornece um quadro se não conclusivo ao menos organizador dos principais momentos – inclusões na historiografia literária, traduções, aproveitamentos teóricos e artísticos – que dão forma a essa história apenas começada.

  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

Filippo Carlà-Uhink is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter, UK.
