This volume documents the 19th edition of the biannual "International Association for the Study of Popular Music". In focus of the conference were present and future developments. For example, the diminishing income potential for musicians as well as the recording industry as a whole, concurrent with the decreasing relevance of popular music in youth culture. This is where computer games and social media come to the forefront. At the same time, the research of popular music has emancipated itself from its initial outsider.

From Sea-bathing to Beach-going

In From Sea-Bathing to Beach-Going B. J. Barickman explores how a narrow ocean beachfront neighborhood and the distinctive practice of beach-going invented by its residents in the early twentieth century came to symbolize a city and a nation. Nineteenth-century Cariocas (residents of Rio) ostensibly practiced sea-bathing for its therapeutic benefits, but the bathing platforms near the city center and the rocky bay shore of Flamengo also provided places to see and be seen. Sea-bathing gave way to beach-going and sun-tanning in the new beachfront neighborhood of Copacabana in the 1920s. This study reveals the social and cultural implications of this transformation and highlights the distinctive changes to urban living that took place in the Brazilian capital. Deeply informed by scholarship about race, class, and gender, as well as civilization and modernity, space, the body, and the role of the state in shaping urban development, this work provides a major contribution to the social and cultural history of Rio de Janeiro and to the history of leisure.

Prêmio APCA 2017 de melhor biografia Em monumental biografia de Lima Barreto, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz investiga as origens, a trajetória e o destino do escritor carioca sob a ótica racial no Rio de Janeiro da Primeira República.

Um dos campos de estudos mais férteis das últimas décadas é o resgate da história dos africanos e seus descendentes e a valorização da cultura e tradições negras no Brasil. Resultado do "II Seminário História Social da Língua Nacional", realizado na Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa em outubro de 2010, este livro discute questões da diáspora africana relacionadas ao processo histórico-social da língua nacional, considerando o tráfico de escravos e as redes do mundo atlântico como travessia de homens, culturas, línguas, modos de comunicação e vida social. Ao pesquisarmos a escravidão, percebemos que as estratégias de comunicação criadas pelos próprios africanos e descen...
