Ellen Sapega’s study documents artistic responses to images of the Portuguese nation promoted by Portugal’s Office of State Propaganda under António de Oliveira Salazar. Combining archival research with current theories informing the areas of memory studies, visual culture, women’s autobiography, and postcolonial studies, the author follows the trajectory of three well-known cultural figures working in Portugal and its colonies during the 1930s and 1940s. The book begins with an analysis of official Salazarist culture as manifested in two state-sponsored commemorative events: the 1938 contest to discover the “Most Portuguese Village in Portugal” and the 1940 Exposition of the Portuguese-Speaking World. While these events fulfilled their role as state propaganda, presenting a patriotic and unambiguous view of Portugal’s past and present, other cultural projects of the day pointed to contradictions inherent in the nation’s social fabric. In their responses to the challenging conditions faced by writers and artists during this period and the government’s relentless promotion of an increasingly conservative and traditionalist image of Portugal, José de Almada Negreiros, Irene Lisboa, and Baltasar Lopes subtly proposed revisions and alternatives to official views of Portuguese experience. These authors questioned and rewrote the metaphors of collective Portuguese and Lusophone identity employed by the ideologues of Salazar’s Estado Novo regime to ensure and administer the consent of the national populace. It is evident, today, that their efforts resulted in the creation of vital, enduring texts and cultural artifacts.

No ano 1968, Alejandra conhece a Guillermo, com quem se casou depois de 12 anos e teve um matrimônio muito feliz e pleno, com inveja aos olhos dos outros. Eles formaram uma bela família com cinco filhos, criaram uma das empresas educativas mais importantes do país e uma das mais representativas de toda América Latina, quando eles já tinham 32 de casamento, de repente, um dia, esse matrimonio de conto de fadas terminou-se, deixando surpresos a mais de um. Vivendo a minha liberdade procura e pretende ser uma chamada de alerta na frente do comportamento humano para que assim nós aprendamos a olhar, aprendamos a viver com dignidade, respeito e valorização que todos nós merecemos. É um testemunho de justiça divina, acompanhada de uma história de amor, que sobreviveu aos quarenta anos de casamento, uma separação, e que finalmente, a sua honestidade, pureza e verdade fizeram que virassem realidade. Uma história no qual todos parecem ser, mas não são. Um relato que os levará até o mais íntimo do coração do ser humano e mostrará como somos uma coisa na frente dos outros, parecemos uma outra, dizemos outra e sentimos uma coisa muito diferente ao anterior. Um matrimônio onde a verdade e a mentira se misturam sem chance. Uma história, que bem poderia ser a sua.

How are evidential functions distinguished by means other than grammatical paradigms, i.e. by function words and other lexical units? And how inventories of such means can be compared across languages (against an account also of grammatical means used to mark information source)? This book presents an attempt at supplying a comparative survey of such inventories by giving detailed “evidential profiles” for a large part of European languages: Continental Germanic, English, French, Basque, Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, Modern Greek, and Ibero-Romance languages, such as Catalán, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Each language is treated in a separate chapter, and their profiles are based on a largely unified set of concepts based on function and/or etymological provenance. The profiles are preceded by a chapter which clarifies the theoretical premises and methodological background for the format followed in the profiles. The concluding chapter presents a synthesis of findings from these profiles, including areal biases and the formulation of methodological problems that call for further research.

This is the first volume of critical essays in English on the much-studied Lima Barreto. Each chapter explores not only his life and vast body of work but also the historical and societal conditions in which his literary voice emerged.

Anthropology is by definition about "others," but in this volume the phrase refers not to members of observed cultures, but to "significant others"—spouses, lovers, and others with whom anthropologists have deep relationships that are both personal and professional. The essays in this volume look at the roles of these spouses and partners of anthropologists over the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially their work as they accompanied the anthropologists in the field. Other relationships discussed include those between anthropologists and informants, mentors and students, cohorts and partners, and parents and children. The book closes with a look at gender roles in the field, demonstrated by the "marriage" in the late nineteenth century of the male Anthropological Society of Washington to the Women’s Anthropological Society of America. Revealing relationships that were simultaneously deeply personal and professionally important, these essays bring a new depth of insight to the history of anthropology as a social science and human endeavor.

Edgar Allan Poe é o mestre do conto e das histórias de terror e mistério. O livro reúne quatro textos do autor norte-americano, adaptados em português e inglês: "A caixa retangular", "O último pulo do sapo", "O gato preto" e "Os crimes da Rua Morgue". Trata-se de narrativas que impressionam pela criatividade, pelo clima de suspense e pela capacidade analítica dos personagens de cada trama. São histórias misteriosas, envolventes e que mostram todo o talento de Poe na arte de escrever contos.
