Essays on Hilda Hilst
This book is the first collection of critical essays on Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) published in English. It brings together a variety of perspectives on one of Latin America’s most inventive and innovative authors. Nine essays by scholars and translators reflect about various aspects of her work, placing it in the context of Brazil and world literature. During her lifetime, Hilst won several major national literary awards and attracted legions of devoted readers. Her writing spanned styles and genres, encompassing poetry, theatre, and experimental fiction. She was also considered to be “a writer’s writer,” and her literary achievements eluded both mainstream acclaim and international recognition. In recent years, Hilst’s books have enjoyed increased visibility in Brazil and beyond. A host of translators (including three contributors to this volume) have finally made some of her masterpieces available in English. This pioneering collection of essays should excite longtime readers and introduce her to a new audience.

Shaping the History of Education?
In 1961 the Centre for the Study of the History of Education at Ghent University, Belgium published the first issue of the multilingual journal Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education. This book celebrates its fiftieth volume. In fourteen contributions written by different generations of historians of education, it demonstrates that in an era where the history of education at university level is at risk, both the journal and the discipline are pulsing, and alive and kicking.

Challenges in the Construction of an Inclusive Society
In contemporary societies, identities are believed to be more fluid, less easily definable, demanding new articulations and new dialogues. However, some communities seem unable to engage in a dialogue traversing cultural borders and fostering the appreciation of diversity as the cornerstone of a more just and humane world. Is intercultural exchange truly possible in societies riddled with tensions of every sort? Multicultural and intercultural interactions may have given us the opportunity to enrich our understanding of the other, but they have also posed new challenges for education practices and educational politics. This collection of studies addresses some of the challenges posed by diversity and inequality in the construction of inclusive societies.
Alfabetização no Brasil
Como avalia Anne-Marie Chartier, “Em 1980, a história do ensino da leitura era somente um capítulo da história do ensino. [...] Em 2010, a história do ensino da leitura tornou-se um capítulo essencial da história cultural das sociedades ocidentais.” Também no Brasil, pesquisadores vinculados a diferentes programas de pós-graduação e grupos/núcleos de pesquisa vêm estudando a história da alfabetização, com ênfase nos séculos XIX e XX, em diferentes contextos regionais e com base em diferentes fontes documentais, vertentes teóricas e abordagens metodológicas. Um balanço desse conhecimento acumulado ao longo das duas últimas décadas foi apresentado e discutido no I SIH...

Corrupção no Brasil
O livro aborda, especialmente, a corrupção no Brasil sob uma análise da cultura política patrimonialista. A antropologia cultural também se faz presente para explicar a relação entre o homem e a sociedade, suas crenças e valores, bem como seu comportamento frente ao compromisso com a coisa pública. Assim, o entendimento da relação entre cultura política e corrupção se apropria de aspectos que envolvem a formação do Estado brasileiro, com os enfoques constantes nos fatores históricos, sociais, econômicos, culturais e políticos, em uma trajetória que tem início no Brasil Colônia. A corrupção, nessa conjuntura, apresenta ser um fenômeno herdado do sistema patrimonialista de administração lusitana, perpetuado no transcurso político e responsável pela ausência de distinção entre as esferas pública e privada, elemento central nas administrações dos sistemas republicanos. Nesse cenário, os instrumentos para o enfrentamento da corrupção tornam-se ineficazes. Abordagens que contemplem o envolvimento da expressão crítica da cidadania e a ética na política tornam-se elementos, dentre outros, essenciais para a vida na República.
