Brazilian journalism research, 2024

Proceeding to a systematization carried out based on a bibliographical review, the article focuses on literary journalism, a practice situated at the confluence of journalism and literature, seeking to understand it in its manifestations. The conceptual possibilities and divergences that surround it, in the myriad of related terms, convey different notions and emphases. The background in Brazil, the U.S., and the world in general, and some ways to go deeper based on the guiding questions of the lead, according to Roberto Herrscher's methodology. The distancing of literary journalism from the hegemonic pyramid journalism, without intending to replace it, as well as the two facets with which it expresses itself: realist/empiricist (narrator as an observer of reality) versus modernist/phenomenologist (narrator as co-creator of reality).

Resumo Este trabalho propoe apresentar uma leitura de tres poemas contidos no livro O utero da casa de autoria da sao-tomense Conceicao Lima , na perspectiva de verificar, no seu processo de construcao estetica, as ressonâncias das tensoes nas relacoes de poder entre os sujeitos que compoem a narrativizacao da nacao no que diz respeito aos seus sentimentos nacionais. A percepcao que resulta, devemos dizer, surge a partir da leitura do livro Polifonias Insulares cultura e Literatura de Sao Tome e Principe de Inocencia Mata, sobretudo na compreensao do percurso e processo de producao da literatura sao-tomense por ela delineados. No intento de destacar os sentidos que vigoram o projeto de poetizar a matria, metafora da ilha sao-tomense, utero demarcado de pertencimento em que confluem elementos toantes e destoantes que edificam tais tensoes, recorremo-nos as ideias de nacao e identidade nacional discorridas por Homi Bhabha e Benedict Anderson. Palavras-chave Poema. Nacao. Poesia. Literatura Sao-tomense. Ilha. Identidade nacional. _____________________________________________________________ Abstract This paper presents an analysis of three poems from the book, O utero da casa, by Conceicao Lima, a Sao Tome poet. The idea is to substantiate her aesthetic process in constructing the resonances of tensions in the power relations between subjects that make up the nation’s narratives concerning their national feelings. The resulting perception comes from the reading of the book Polifonias Insulares cultura e Literatura de Sao Tome e Principe , by the Professor and researcher, Inocencia Mata, particularly in clarifying the course and process of producing literature in Sao Tome that she has outlined. In an attempt to highlight feelings that lead authors to poetize their matria , a metaphor for the island of Sao Tome, a demarcated uterus of belonging in which in tune and out of tune elements build such tensions, we borrow the ideas of nation and national identitiy of Homi Bhabha and Benedict Anderson. Keywords Poem. Nation. Poetry. Sao Tome literature. Island. National identity.

Este ebook é resultado de pesquisa financiada pela PUC-SP, desenvolvida pelo Centro de Pesquisa Sociossemiótica – CPS e pelo Grupo de Estudos da Poética: Interconexões diacrônico-sincrônicas na poesia brasileira e portuguesa, respectivamente dos Programas de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Comunicação e Semiótica e Literatura e Crítica Literária da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. O ebook busca apreender a inscrição da “cidade periférica” – Grajaú – na cidade de São Paulo, em particular nas suas territorialidades centrais, assim como nas extensas vias de transporte que cruzam essa megalópole. A partir de manifestações estéticas parietais (pixo, pichação, mural, grafite, palavra-imagem, entre muitas mais), artistas intervencionistas urbanos ressignificam centro e periferia, marcando posição e assinatura de territorialidades excluídas, e a construção de uma voz sócio-político-artístico-cultural que quer ser ouvida no seu mostrar a diversidade da sociedade brasileira. Os estudos desses atravessamentos urbanos enredam análises e reflexões sobre as transformações que a cidade incorpora polifonicamente, assim como a ampla documentação fotográfica que, saltando das páginas, evidencia um universo de sentidos que não pode mais ser calado ou inviabilizado. É essa problemática complexa que este volume entrega aos leitores.

Luso-Brazilian Review, 2010

Anthologies are oft en the unsung heroes of college literary survey courses. Th e anthology chosen for the class oft en defi nes the Portuguese literary canon for the (U.S.) graduate student who sees the text selections as their introduction to the history of Portuguese literature. For more advanced scholars, the anthology provides an opportunity to deepen their knowledge or to specialize in a particular theme, genre, time period or author. At the very least, anthologies provide easy and convenient access to a wide variety of texts, many of which may no longer exist outside of national archives. Th roughout Patricia Anne Odber de Baubeta's text, the author and reader are constantly engaging with the underlying question: What is the ultimate purpose of the literary anthology? Is it literary historiography, literary criticism, social criticism, simply a compilation of texts linked by time, topic and language-or some mixture thereof? While the text does, at times, come across as a routine listing of anthologies and authors, overall the book remains true to its initial purpose: "to explore anthologies produced in Portugal from a multidisciplinary perspective that draws on literary studies, literary historiography, sociology of reading, gender studies, cultural studies, among others" (28-29). Baubeta defi nes the anthology as "a compilation of self-standing poems or short stories, deliberately selected and organised in such a way as to serve the editor's purpose" (34) and specifi cally focuses on anthologies published in Portugal containing Portuguese literature (although some anthologies also included translations of foreign literature) during the course of the twentieth century. She begins her chronological survey of anthologies based on the year of publication, starting in 1907 and ends with texts published up to 2007. In this way, she is able to show how literary tastes change and evolve-oft entimes infl uenced by the very anthologies that she analyzes-and how the role of the anthologist goes beyond the mere choosing of texts, at times demonstrating political or socially rebellious leanings. Baubeta also contends that while the content of anthologies may be studied at length, the composition of the anthology itself and the editor's choice of texts are much more infrequently studied.

This research has the aim of proposing approaches between the authors Agostinho Neto (Angolan) and Solano Trindade (Brazilian). Literary and political similarities during their life spans were considered while comparisons were being made. Both poets dedicated themselves to literature and, also, to social and political causes during their lives. The research focuses on the comparative analysis between the texts Sagrada Esperança (1985), from Neto, and Trindade's Cantares ao meu povo (1961). We are going to adopt the Négritude as a theme and its relation with revolutionary and/or utopian romantism as a focus of comparison in order to found our research, having the studies performed by Michael Löwy and Robert Sayre as a guide. By working the texts' convergence out, we believe it is possible to notice that there are romantic survivals that are highlighted by the Black Movement, what can be verified in the works selected to this research. Romantism is faced as a "vision about the world", so it is free from tieds of time. While vizualizing that echoes from this romantism take part in Négritude, we believe it is possible to verify that the works from Agostinho Neto and Solano Trindade belong to a type of poetry in which the authors, from their verses, are concerned about provoking the revolutionary action that is able to generate tranformations.

Romance Quarterly, 2016

This special issue of Romance Quarterly offers its readers a glimpse of the literary production by contemporary Brazilian writers in the last thirty years, with a special focus on narrative fiction. Additionally, readers will find here insightful discussions of questions regarding (self-) representation in literature and of issues affecting the publication and distribution of Brazilian authors and their works. The delimitation of what constitutes contemporary literature is somewhat arbitrary, and some scholars may understand the term to describe all literature written since the end of the Second World War, while others may opt for narrower defining parameters. For others still, contemporary literature may simply mean "the literature of our time, of the present" (Gupta 2)-notwithstanding the permanence and contemporary outlook we find in the works of timeless writers such as our own Machado de Assis, among others. In determining the focus of this issue, I have considered some key political, social, and cultural developments as markers to delimit the body of works to be discussed in these essays. The opening political event is the 1964 military coup d'état that inaugurated twenty-one years of a dictatorship in Brazil, a period that has drastically impacted all aspects of Brazilian society and continues to have repercussions in the country. The fact that those events are still addressed in our literature today attests to their impact in the life stories of so many Brazilians and in the history of our nation. On the other hand, considering the cultural and historical developments of the past thirty years in Brazil, we have witnessed the country's return to a democratic state and have seen it suffer through years of hyperinflation and drastic economic measures in the late 1980s and early 1990s-leading a considerable number of Brazilians to emigrate from the country in search of better living conditions-and later its emergence as a leader in hemispheric politics and a strong player in the world economy, only to see it face new political and economic crises in the last several years. These developments have been formally and thematically reflected in literature and other arts, specifically in the literary production of the late 1960s through the current decade of the twenty-first century. 1 Another development, this one of global dimensions, has been the dissemination and availability of new information and communication technologies, a process that began some thirty years ago and that has profoundly changed our perception of reality. Furthermore, these new technologies have altered how we access, produce, and share information and cultural production. It has also led to a relative democratization of knowledge and the circulation of literature and other artistic endeavors, allowing writers and artists to disseminate their works without the need of an intermediary-that is, an editor, a publisher, or a bookstore. In other words, the new information and communication technologies have intervened in an exchange between producers and consumers of culture that many Brazilian writers and intellectuals believe favors a small, select group of names, and commercial profit over literary quality and cultural diversity. 2 This is certainly not a new phenomenon, but one that has particularly affected writers and artists from minority groups, from Lima Barreto (1881-1922) at the beginning of the twentieth century to the Afro-Brazilian writers who in the late 1970s initiated the publication of Cadernos negros as an alternative to the mainstream publishing venues. What has changed, however, is that today the Internet, blogs, and various social media more easily allow for self-publication and for the expression of more diverse voices and perspectives.
