Sobre a Divulgação E Recepção Da Literatura Brasileira Na Hungria
Sobre a divulgação e recepção da literatura brasileira na Hungria Ferenc Pál Professor Emeritus da Eötvös Loránd University. As primeiras informações da literatura brasileira chegam ao público húngaro por via dos verbetes das enciclopédias editadas na viragem dos séculos XIX e XX. N’A Grande Enciclopédia da Pallas1 alguns poetas destacados (como Gonçalves de Magalhães, Gonçalves Dias e Tomás António de Gonzaga) já tem verbetes autónomos. No volume 3, de 1911, da Grande Enciclopédia da Révai2 já se encontra um verbete em separado sobre a “literatura brasiliana”, rezando que “a literatura brasiliana durante muito tempo foi apenas um ramo da literatura portuguesa e só nos últimos tempos começou a se desenvolver em rumo diferente”. Nesta enciclopédia já aumenta o número dos autores com verbete autónomo (assim encontramos incluídos nela os mais importantes ou famosos autores do romantismo, como Macedo, Álvares de Azevedo, Bernardo Guimarães, etc.). Nas enciclopédias posteriores, em especial nas enciclopédias de literatura universal3, encontramos informações cada vez mais sofisticadas da literatura brasileira, até que na volumosa Enciclopédia da Literatura Universal, cujos volumes saíam desde 1970 até meados dos 19904, encontramos, além dos verbetes sobre a literatura brasileira e fenómenos literários ligados com o Brasil (como por ex.: o Modernismo), verbetes de 228 escritores brasileiros. Mas tudo isto é apenas uma mera informação das letras brasileiras que ainda não é acompanhada de obras traduzidas para conhecimento do público húngaro. A primazia, segundo hoje podemos afirmar, corresponde a um conto de Machado de Assis, que foi 1 A Pallasz Nagy Lexikona. 2 Révai Nagy Lexikona. 3 Queremos mencionar, apenas como contribuição bibliográfia, as enciclopédias da literatura seguintes, mencionadas na bibliografia: Irodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Kisenciklopédia 4 Világirodalmi Lexikon. -
SUMARIO Caderno De Leituras
APRESENTAÇÃO LILIA M. SCHWARCZ e MARIANA MENDES Em 1999, quando criamos o primeiro Caderno de Leituras dedicado aos livros do catálogo Companhia das Letrinhas, nos surpreendemos com a rapi- dez com que ele foi acolhido pelos educadores do país. O material reunia artigos sobre diversos temas relacionados ao aproveitamento da produção literária no processo educativo, tendo como ponto de partida o vasto catálo- go de literatura infantojuvenil da editora. Na ocasião, recebemos pedidos de todo o Brasil para que fossem enviados exemplares em quantidade para se- cretarias de educação, salas de leituras, órgãos governamentais, em geral, além da ótima acolhida por parte da rede privada de ensino. Ficamos felizes ao notar que a publicação, apesar de não ser essa a sua intenção, havia ga- nhado ares de livro de formação. Em 2002, passamos a publicar toda a obra do Erico Verissimo e, como reconhecimento à importância do autor para a nossa literatura, dedicamos um Caderno de Leituras exclusivamente à sua obra. Assim surgiu o primeiro Caderno de Leituras destinado a um autor em especial. Vieram na sequência Caderno de Leituras Vinicius de Moraes, Jorge Amado (dois volumes, um mais dedicado a temas sociais, outro mais à literatura, propriamente dita), Lygia Fagundes Telles e Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Os Cadernos de Leituras de Jorge Amado, Vinicius de Moraes e Carlos Drummond de An- drade deram suporte para um trabalho especial, voltado para a formação de professores em todo o Brasil, em parceria com diferentes Secretarias Esta- duais. A importância desses projetos inaugurou um novo departamento, de- pois incorporado ao departamento de educação, que chamamos de Núcleo de incentivo à leitura. -

Universities and Intergenerational Social Mobility in Brazil: Examining Patterns by Race and Gender
Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy https://doi.org/10.1007/s41996-019-00033-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Universities and Intergenerational Social Mobility in Brazil: Examining Patterns by Race and Gender Suzanne Duryea1 & Luísa Baptista de Freitas1 & Luana Marques-Garcia Ozemela 1 & Breno Sampaio2 & Gustavo R. Sampaio2 & Giuseppe Trevisan3 Received: 16 October 2018 /Revised: 8 April 2019 /Accepted: 14 May 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper analyzes social mobility as realized by students of a high-quality public flagship university in Brazil, the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), and compares with mobility at US institutions, applying the methodology of Chetty et al. (2017). Intergenerational income mobility is analyzed using the family income of students matriculating to UFPE in 2005–2006 and individual earnings 12–13 years later. Upward mobility is defined as the percentage of students who attain the highest quintile of individual earnings among those who matriculated from the lowest income families. We find that mobility rates are higher at UFPE than at comparator US universities as calculated by Chetty et al. (2017). While these are non-causal estimates, they nonetheless suggest that public universities can play a key role in facilitating upward social mobility in Brazil. Disaggregating by gender, we find higher mobility rates for men than for women in both UFPE and US comparator institutions. Using UFPE admissions data, we are able to explore the role of both ability and major choice on mobility gaps by gender and race. For both women and Afro-Brazilians, the proxy for ability (college entry exam) does not explain the gap in reaching the top earnings quintile compared to white males. -

Wendy Greene* In recent years, the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, So Paulo, and Mato Grasso du Sol have implemented race-conscious affirmative action programs in higher education. These states established admissions quotas in public universities '' for Afro-Brazilians or afrodescendentes. As a result, determining who is "Black has become a complex yet important undertaking in Brazil. Scholars and the general public alike have claimed that the determination of Blackness in Brazil is different than in the United States; determining Blackness in the United States is allegedly a simpler task than in Brazil. In Brazil it is widely acknowledged that most Brazilians are descendants of Aficans in light of the pervasive miscegenation that occurred during and after the Portuguese and Brazilian enslavement of * Assistant Professor of Law, Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. -
Translating Brazil: from Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010
Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 By Krista Marie Brune A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair Professor Scott Saul Spring 2016 Abstract Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 by Krista Marie Brune Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair This dissertation analyzes how travel and translation informed the construction of Brazil as modern in the 19th century, and how similar processes of transnational translation continue to shape the cultural visibility of the nation abroad in the contemporary moment. By reading journals, literary works, and cultural criticism, this study inserts Brazilian literature and culture into recent debates about translatability, world literature, and cosmopolitanism, while also underscoring the often-overlooked presence of Brazilians in the United States. The first half of the dissertation contends that Portuguese-language periodicals Correio Braziliense (London, 1808-1822), Revista Nitheroy (Paris, 1836), and O Novo Mundo (New York, 1870-1879) translated European and North American ideas of technology and education to a readership primarily in Brazil. The transnational circulation of these periodicals contributed to the self- fashioning of intellectuals who came to define the nation. To suggest parallels between Brazil and the United States in the late 19th century, the analysis of O Novo Mundo focuses on discourses of nation, modernity, and technological progress emerging in the hemispheric travels of scientists, intellectuals, and the Brazilian empire Dom Pedro II, and in the national displays at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. -
Declining Japanese-Brazilian Advantage: Racial Inequality in São Paulo, Brazil 1960-2000
DECLINING JAPANESE-BRAZILIAN ADVANTAGE: RACIAL INEQUALITY IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL 1960-2000 By KUNIKO CHIJIWA A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Kuniko Chijiwa 2 With my loving and enduring memories of my father, my brother, and my sister, I devote this study to my mother, hoping for her longevity 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There is no way that I could have conceived when I stepped out of my proposal hearing in December 2004 at the Streib conference room that my dissertation would have been taken such a long time to finish. Without the trembled emotion for three family members who left in the last 5 years, I cannot conclude this excruciatingly long journey. First and foremost, I dearly thank my family for their unconditional love and profound understanding whatever I am. I owe you my life and I swear you that I will protect our mother from any cruelty in this world. Certainly, no aspect of my dissertation would have existed without my dearest chairs, Dr. Charles Wood and Dr. Stephen Perz. Although my situation has been winding for years, their support has always been immediate, especially when I needed it the most. My feeling toward them would rather be apologetic because I made them wait for quite a long time. The more I deeply appreciate thinking of what they have done for me over the years, the more I feel sorry for having consumed their time unnecessarily. -
Jorge Amado and the Internationalization of Brazilian Literature
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2013v1n31p119 JORGE AMADO AND THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Elizabeth Lowe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] Abstract: Jorge Amado (1912-2001) is the most translated Brazi- lian writer and the literary figure that has shaped the reception of Brazilian literature in the world. He is credited with opening the international literary market to the post-dictatorship generation of Brazilian writers. Yet Amado is also a controversial figure. The debate around him is sparked by what some believe is sexual and ethnic stereotyping in his post-1958 works and the reinforcement of “paternalistic “racial views. His reception therefore is mixed. For his English-language readers, he is a fascinating source of exotic and titillating narratives about the vast, unknown country of Brazil, and for Brazilians he is either a “great ambassador of Brazilian culture around the world” or a faux populist who dis- guises sexist and racist attitudes behind charming prose. This talk will address Amado’s literary career, his unique contributions to Brazilian letters, the challenges of translating his work, and his influence on the production of a new Brazilian literature for export Keywords: reception, controversy, translation. Jorge Amado is among the writers who have contributed most to the emergence of a post-modern Inter-American literature. He is at the same time a transitional and a controversial figure. Still the most widely translated Brazilian novelist—his works have appea- red in over forty languages and in fifty-five countries—he was the 120 Elizabeth Lowe, Jorge Amado and the internationalization of.. -
A Preface to a Theory of Art-Fear in Brazilian Literature
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2012n62p341 A PREFACE TO A THEORY OF ART-FEAR IN BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Julio França Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Luciano Cabral da Silva Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Abstract There is no tradition in the study of horror in Brazilian literature; with Álvares de Azevedo”s tales of Noite na Taverna generally considered as the only example of Gothic, terror or horror narrative quoted in literary history. This article aims to demonstrate that there are several works in Brazilian literature which could be classified as “fear literature”—a fictional narrative that produces “artistic fear”. In fact, some of the most important Brazilian authors, including Machado de Assis, Bernardo Guimarães, Aluísio Azevedo, Inglês de Souza, João do Rio, Humberto de Campos and Coelho Neto, penned works in the macabre during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, critics were either unable to identify them as works of horror or paid no attention to an area of fiction in which social problems were not realistically represented. Therefore, research in this field must first identify the basic characteristics Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 62 p. 341- 356 jan/jun 2012 342 Julio França e Luciano Cabral da Silva, A preface to a Theory of Art... of fictional horror in our country. We are interested in (i) the real fears represented in Brazilian fiction, be them caused by either the natural or supernatural, and in (ii) the narrative features which produce the effect of “artistic fear” upon the reader.

Black Music of All Colors
SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 145 BLACK MUSIC OF ALL COLORS. THE CONSTRUCTION OF BLACK ETHNICITY IN RITUAL AND POPULAR GENRES OF AFRO-BRAZILIAN MUSIC José Jorge de Carvalho Brasília 1993 Black Music of all colors. The construction of Black ethnicity in ritual and popular genres of Afro-Brazilian Music. José Jorge de Carvalho University of Brasília The aim of this essay is to present an overview of the charter of Afro-Brazilian identities, emphasizing their correlations with the main Afro-derived musical styles practised today in the country. Given the general scope of the work, I have chosen to sum up this complex mass of data in a few historical models. I am interested, above all, in establishing a contrast between the traditional models of identity of the Brazilian Black population and their musics with recent attempts, carried out by the various Black Movements, and expressed by popular, commercial musicians who formulate protests against that historical condition of poverty and unjustice, forging a new image of Afro- Brazilians, more explicit, both in political and in ideological terms. To focus such a vast ethnographic issue, I shall analyse the way these competing models of identity are shaped by the different song genres and singing styles used by Afro-Brazilians running through four centuries of social and cultural experience. In this connection, this study is also an attempt to explore theoretically the more abstract problems of understanding the efficacy of songs; in other words, how in mythopoetics, meaning and content are revealed in aesthetic symbolic structures which are able to mingle so powerfully verbal with non-verbal modes of communication. -

FUNK A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Kevin B. Funk To Macarena, our growing family, and the struggle for a better world ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research project, like all products of human creation, represents the collectively harvested fruit of the efforts of many. It has benefited enormously from the participation and interventions of countless family members, friends, compañeros, students, and colleagues, only some of whom I am able to acknowledge here. In particular, I would like to recognize the direct and indirect contributions of: my dissertation chair, Ido Oren, for his incisive comments, critical disposition, and ready willingness to allow me to pursue my interests in accordance with my values, along with my other committee members—Aida Hozic, Leann Brown, Philip Williams, and Matthew Jacobs—for their guidance, support, and mentorship; Sue and Pat, for their behind-the- scenes efforts; the many teachers, ranging from Chris Warnick to Dan O'Neill, who labored doggedly to cultivate my critical faculties and challenged me to set out on my own intellectual journeys, along with the many students for whom I hope to have done the same; my fellow activists in the union movement, for their dedication, solidarity, and unwillingness to be atomized and alienated through the inhospitable and individualistic professionalization structures and practices that surround us; and Mauro Caraccioli and Sebastián Sclofsky, for their amistad, along with the former’s sunny disposition in the face of adversity and the latter’s righteous indignation over the injustices that surround us, and their collective insistence that we engage in “a ruthless criticism of everything existing” (Marx 1843a).
