Disparate Regional Development in Brazil

A Monetary Production Approach

By: Adriana Amado

Published in 1997, an analysis of the regional development problem in Brazil from a monetary perspective. The author deals with the vicious circles generated in a country with strong regional disparities, emphasizing the link between real and financial problems. Some elements of dependency theory and of post-Keynesian monetary theory are adopted to create a new model which can cope with both financial and real problems in the same framework. State policies for the regions are also examined and the study finds that they are inadequate in the prevention of the vicious circles which lead to disparate regional growth.

Intellectuals and Communist Culture

Itineraries, Problems, and Debates in Post-war Argentina

By: Adriana Petra

This book investigates a central chapter in the history of 20th century intellectualism: the commitment to the communist ideal and the Soviet Union. Focusing on Argentina, whose communist party was among the most important in Latin America, Petra engages with the current literature on Western communism in order to conduct an exhaustive study of the intellectuals, cultural organizations, publications, and debates within Argentine communism in the decades following World War II. Based on rigorous archival research from diverse sources, Petra’s book distances itself from existing teleological visions and institutional approaches to the communist world, offering instead a complex framework in which multiple contexts, scales, and actors frame the larger problem: the intellectual commitment to a political project that brooked no dissent. Intellectuals and Communist Culture also addresses the emergence of Peronism, a crucial movement in Argentine political life to this very day, thus offering an important chapter on Latin American political and intellectual history and an invaluable contribution to the global history of the international communist movement.

Gender and Nationalism in Colonial Cuba

The Travels of Santa Cruz Y Montalvo, Condesa de Merlin

By: Adriana Méndez Rodenas

Upon her return to Paris, Merlin expanded this into La Havane, an ambitious three-volume account of the political, social, and economic organization of the island. From the viewpoint of feminist and psychoanalytical theory, Gender and Nationalism in Colonial Cuba explores the many ways in which issues of gender have contributed to Merlin's virtual absence from the canons of literature and from the discourses on Cuban national identity.

Teaching and Learning from Neuroeducation to Practice

We Are Nature Blended with the Environment. We Adapt and Rediscover Ourselves Together with Others, with More Wisdom

By: Adriana Volpiansky

In this book, I expound and suggest a space for reflection, and a thorough analysis which places its greatest emphasis on a detailed review and examination about the knowledge early-childhood educators should have regarding the concepts that define the functioning of the human brain as a fundamental organ in students’ lives. On the whole, it involves discovering how we learn, in which ways emotions influence the learning process, and why it is necessary to create enriched environments for teaching-learning, based on contextualized projects. The purpose is to discover the motivation which will enhance skills and competences in young learners.

Sephardi, Jewish, Argentine

Community and National Identity

Sephardi, Jewish, Argentine

Community and National Identity

By: Adriana M. Brodsky

“A much-needed monograph on the role of Sephardic Jews in Argentina, and . . . an important contribution to the study of Jews in Latin America overall” (Choice). At the turn of the twentieth century, Jews from North Africa and the Middle East were called Turcos (“Turks”). Seen as distinct from Ashkenazim, Sephardi Jews weren’t even identified as Jews. Yet the story of Sephardi Jewish identity has been deeply impactful on Jewish history across the world. Adriana M. Brodsky follows the history of Sephardim as they arrived in Argentina, created immigrant organizations, founded synagogues and cemeteries, and built strong ties with coreligionists around the country. Brodsky demonstrates how fragmentation based on areas of origin gave way to the gradual construction of a single Sephardi identity. This unifying identity is predicated both on Zionist identification (with the State of Israel) and “national” feelings (for Argentina), and that Sephardi Jews assumed leadership roles in national Jewish organizations once they integrated into the much larger Askenazi community. Rather than assume that Sephardi identity was fixed and unchanging, Brodsky highlights the strategic nature of this identity, constructed both from within the various Sephardi groups and from the outside, and reveals that Jewish identity must be understood as part of the process of becoming Argentine.

Escritos discentes em literaturas de língua inglesa Volume XVI

By: Adriana Jordão,Davi Pinho,Felipe Fanuel Xavier Rodrigues,Fernanda Medeiros,Leila Harris,Maria Aparecida Andrade Salgueiro,Maria Conceição Monteiro,Patricia Marouvo,Vanessa Cianconi

A longevidade desse projeto, em sua décima sexta edição, demonstra seu êxito. Quantos discentes não integraram já essa coleção? Alguns, que publicaram quando eram mestrandos, retornaram depois como doutorandos. Nomes de jovens estudantes que assinaram capítulos em outros volumes são hoje egressos brilhantes de nosso Programa, atuando como docentes em diversas instituições. Portanto, os textos presentes neste volume, como nos anteriores, representam o despontar da carreira de florescentes pesquisadores. E por incitar a prática de divulgação acadêmica como parte fundamental da vida acadêmica, esta proposta de promover publicação discente tem servido de modelo para outros grupos do nosso curso. Este livro reúne resultados de pesquisas em andamento envolvendo as três linhas de pesquisa da área de Estudos de Literatura ̶ "Literatura: teoria, crítica e história"; "Literatura: tradução e relações (trans)culturais e intersemióticas"; e "Poéticas da contemporaneidade" ̶ , em diálogo transversal pelo foco nas Literaturas de Língua Inglesa. Consequentemente, segue abordagens metodológicas variadas e abrange diversas obras dessas literaturas, de diferentes gêneros, tempos e espaços. Assim, com abordagens sobre escritores e escritoras, clássicos e contemporâneos, uns menos conhecidos do grande público e outros mais comerciais, em português ou em inglês, ocupando-se de temas atuais e socialmente relevantes, encontra-se aqui material fértil também para outros pesquisadores, com quem se espera o diálogo a partir da publicação deste livro.
