Native American Literature shows women having sexual relations with trees. An animal (bird or monkey) can help the partners to interact with one another. This paper discusses three myths that speak of women who gave birth to children after being seduced by a vegetal being.

In this article, I study the development of Mouraria’s Mercado de Fusao in the context of what I term "Invented Difference"—a marketing strategy that capitalizes on a utopist multiculturalism that lacks historicity and continuity—as a means by which to unpack how twenty-first-century multicultural space is produced in Lisbon, a rapidly changing city with a booming tourist economy. Through this lens, I analyze the market’s visual and material landscape—specifically its sculptures and food kiosks—to bring together questions regarding the mobilization of multiculturalism in urban redevelopment while taking into consideration the legacy of race relations in Portugal’s neoliberal present. I assert that the Mercado de Fusao project speaks to the broader ideological implications of tourist-centric development initiatives in Lisbon.
在这篇文章中,我研究了Mouraria的Mercado de Fusao在我称之为“发明差异”的背景下的发展——一种利用缺乏历史性和连续性的乌托邦式多元文化主义的营销策略——作为一种手段来揭示21世纪多元文化空间是如何在里斯本产生的,里斯本是一个快速变化的城市,旅游经济蓬勃发展。通过这个镜头,我分析了市场的视觉和物质景观——特别是它的雕塑和食品亭——将有关城市重建中多元文化主义动员的问题结合在一起,同时考虑到葡萄牙新自由主义时代种族关系的遗产。我认为,扶桑市场项目反映了里斯本以旅游为中心的发展倡议的更广泛的意识形态含义。

In this essay, I examine the status of Baleia, the family dog in Graciliano Ramos’s Vidas secas (1938). My principal interest is to analyse the attenuation of distances and the differentiation of sensibility between humans and animals in the novel. I argue that Baleia allows Ramos to leave aside an absolute belief in human reasoning and think of the nonhuman animal as a being endowed with complexity. In this, Ramos deviates from a speciesist appreciation of history and sharpens the gaze of his readers with respect to the limitations of our understanding of the world and its beings.

This essay argues that Nuno Ramos’s installations and writings represent a decisive intervention in current aesthetic debates on temporality and the non-human. Working on the unstable terrain between the living and the dead, the organic and the inorganic, the fossilized and the spectral, Ramos’s work sheds light on scales and frames that challenge the anthropocentric sensorium of our critical habits. By focusing on writings included in Cujo (1993) and Essaio Geral (2007), the essay analyzes how the configuration of such critical perspective in Ramos’s work interrogates and reformulates the ways in which memory and the political interface there where the very notion of life—the bios that articulates the biopolitical—is at stake.

The heart of this book are the aspects of Cabral’s thought and work revealed in Wood’s translations. The leading voices of the tradition of Africana critical theory often wrote themselves out of their professional/disciplinary perspectives. This holds true for Cabral. In these pages, there are a series of lectures delivered by Cabral to the PAIGC cadres. As an agronomist for the Portuguese government, Cabral’s analysis of the possibilities of Guinean agrarian development was a factor in his commitment to a national liberation struggle. In this, we see the unique quality of Cabral’s thought, the dynamics of his role as commander, and glimpses into his character and humanity.

Joel Rufino dos Santos here provides a much-anticipated contribution to the study of the presence of Afro-Brazilians in the national theater. The author investigates the ways in which Afro-Brazilians are authors, characters, objects, and types—both onstage and off. In addition to offering an overview of the role of race in the history of Afro-Brazilian theater and drama, the book also contains many invaluable images that serve to illustrate as well as add insight to the written pages, filling a much-needed gap in critical studies of Brazilian theater.

This essay analyzes the role plants and animals play in Clarice Lispector’s work. I argue that Lispector often stages a face-to-face encounter with non-humans to trigger a process of defamiliarization, whereby our anthropocentric values and norms come undone. I discuss exemples of this encounter in short stories from Lacos de Familia and in the novel A Paixao segundo G.H. In these works, Lispector reflects upon concepts we usually take for granted, such as reason or language, a process that results in a profound transformation and extension of these concepts to our non-human others.
本文分析了植物和动物在克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特的作品中所扮演的角色。我认为,利斯佩克特经常与非人类进行面对面的接触,以触发一个陌生化的过程,从而使我们以人类为中心的价值观和规范失效。我在《家庭之家》的短篇小说和小说《A Paixao segundo G.H.》中讨论了这种相遇的例子。在这些作品中,利斯佩克特反思了我们通常认为理所当然的概念,比如理性或语言,这一过程导致了这些概念对我们非人类他人的深刻转变和延伸。

There is something deeply poignant in the imagination of the poem that springs both from rigor and out of defiance of the norm—as the Luso-American scholar of English Studies, triggered by encounters with Portuguese (translation with Jorge de Sena, comparative literature with Pessoa) sets aside the highly codified, often mystifying display of academic learning and scribbles poetic lines that etch an affectionate conviviality.
