The Accidental President of Brazil

A Memoir

By: Fernando Henrique Cardoso

Fernando Henrique Cardoso received a phone call in the middle of the night asking him to be the new Finance Minister of Brazil. As he put the phone down and stared into the darkness of his hotel room, he feared he'd been handed a political death sentence. The year was 1993, and he would be responsible for an economy that had had seven different currencies in the previous eight years to cope with inflation that had run at 3000 percent a year. Brazil had a habit of chewing up finance ministers with the ferocity of an Amazon piranha. This was just one of the turns in a largely unscripted and sometimes unwanted political career. In exile during the harshest period of the junta that ruled Brazil for twenty years, Cardoso started his political life with a tentative run for the Federal Senate in 1978. Within fifteen years, and despite himself, this former sociologist was running the country. And what a country! Brazil, it is often said, is on the edge of modernity, striding with one foot in mid-air towards the future, the other still rooted deep in a traditional past. It is a land of sophisticated music and brutal gold-digging, of the next global superpower and the last old-time coffee plantations. It is gloriously ungovernable, irrepressibly attractive, and home to the family, friends and extraordinary life of Fernando Henrique Cardoso. This is his story and his love song to his country.

The other side of paradise

By: Luiz Fernando Emediato

The search for Eldorado, democracy and the relationship between father and son. In this moving book, set in the 60's - from the creation of Braslia to the beginning of the dictatorship - the author wrenches from his readers, be they young or not so young, tears of emotion and exclamations of enthusiasm. Luiz Fernando Emediato author of Geração Abandonada, Eu vi Mamãe Nascer e Verdes Anos, amongst other books - paints an extraordinary and concise picture of the uncertainties and heroisms of human existence. Written in the language of realism, but imbued with lyricism and subjective nostalgia, this gripping narrative is a real page turner. The epic adventure of the father, a Don Quixote, is seen through his son's eyes with a mixture of admiration, love, pain, pride and sadness. This book, which deals with both the power of dreams and the struggles of life, is particularly apt for young readers.

Spatial Theories for the Americas

Counterweights to Five Centuries of Eurocentrism

By: Fernando Luiz Lara

To study the built environment of the Americas is to wrestle with an inherent contradiction. While the disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape, and planning share the fundamental belief that space and place matter, the overwhelming majority of canonical knowledge and the vernacular used to describe these disciplines comes from another, very different, continent. With this book, Fernando Luiz Lara discusses several theories of space—drawing on cartography, geography, anthropology, and mostly architecture—and proposes counterweights to five centuries of Eurocentrism. The first part of Spatial Theories for the Americas offers a critique of Eurocentrism in the discipline of architecture, problematizing its theoretical foundation in relation to the inseparability of modernization and colonization. The second part makes explicit the insufficiencies of a hegemonic Western tradition at the core of spatial theories by discussing a long list of authors who have thought about the Americas. To overcome centuries of Eurocentrism, Lara concludes, will require a tremendous effort, but, nonetheless, we have the responsibility of looking at the built environment of the Americas through our own lenses. Spatial Theories for the Americas proposes a fundamental step in that direction.

The Orpheus Myth in Milton's “L’Allegro”, “Il Penseroso”, and “Lycidas”

The Orpheus Myth in Milton's “L’Allegro”, “Il Penseroso”, and “Lycidas”

A Peircean Reading

By: Luiz Fernando Ferreira Sá

In this study of John Milton’s “L’Allegro”, “Il Penseroso”, and “Lycidas”, the perspective of an interpreting sign serves as the basis for analysis of the poems’ allusions to the Orpheus myth. The idea of an interpretant proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce and the semiotic relations theorized by Jorgen Dines Johansen work as a lens that enables the reader to see the extent to which Milton recreated the Orpheus myth and used its recreating powers in his poems. Since the three poems have different and opposing voices, the Orpheus myth is the trigger behind the change of voices, as well as the modeling frame that underlies the transitions from an innocent to an enlightened viewpoint. Furthermore, readers in general and critics of all persuasions will have the chance to appreciate the presence of the Orpheus myth in Milton’s work as the fragmented configuration of consciousness in the process of defining two orders of existence: the human and the divine.
