This book retrieves the narrative and social context of Brazilian historical performances and artistic movements to restore, with the support of a vast literature review, aesthetic analysis and the debate around engagement, the due complexity to the multifaceted concept of political theatre. Broadening the perspective, it addresses one of the most significant contemporary resonances of such an itinerary: Augusto Boal¿s Theatre of the Oppressed, challenging canons of the role of performers and spectators. The research also seeks, by refusing pamphleteering or professorial responses, to shed light on the contested actuality of theatre¿s social function, especially after the extreme right wave that has been testing the usefulness of traditional institutions.

Rio de Janeiro, 2014. Med VM i fodbold og De Olympiske Lege lige om hjørnet er hele landet i en tilstand af eufori og håb. Júlia er en lovende ung arkitekt, der har ansvaret for at designe golfbanen i den kommende olympiske by. Den dag hun skal deltage i et vigtigt møde om projektet, tager hun en løbetur til udsigtspunktet Vista Chinesa i Tijuca-parken i byens udkant. Pludselig peger en mand på hende med en pistol og trækker hende ind i skoven, hvor han voldtager hende. Mange år senere beslutter hun sig for at skrive et brev til sine børn for at fortælle dem om denne oplevelse. Læseren følger Júlia på den lange vej, hun må gå for at overvinde oplevelsen: fra smerten og følelsen af skam og skyld gennem politiets efterforskning i et samfund, hvor fattigdom alene giver anledning til mistanke om skyld, til genvindingen af hendes krop og seksualitet. Med følsomhed, mod og sjælden litterær dygtighed giver forfatteren Júlia en stemme, mens hun genvinder sit selvværd. Med overvældende kraft er denne roman – baseret på en sand historie – blevet en af de mest læste og anerkendte i Brasilien i de senere år. “Det er ikke et let emne at skrive om, men Levy har klaret det. Resultatet er en umiddelbar og stærk roman, som bør give hendes talent større anerkendelse.” The Sunday Times

"The book is relevant to persons interested in public governance, comparative politics and the politics of Brazil, Russia, and the United States. It would also be accessible to Ph.D. and motivated upper-division students, and to practitioners. The arguments are presented rigorously, but also in a captivating manner"--

Hailed in his lifetime as Brazil's greatest writer, Machado de Assis has found a new generation of readers through a series of critically acclaimed translations by Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson. Now, the duo returns to breathe new life into the irreverent, ambitious and darkly funny Quincas Borba. Originally published in 1891, the novel begins with the death of its titular character, a mad philosopher infamous for spouting pessimistic theories of Humanitism. Borba leaves his fortune-including his dog, also named Quincas Borba-to Rubião, his loyal caretaker. Adrift in the big, bad, bustling world of late-1860s Rio de Janeiro, it isn't long before Rubião is targeted by the city's sycophants, who can smell his naïveté from a mile away. Playfully told by an omniscient-and possibly unreliable-narrator, and rife with Machado's signature satirical jabs, Quincas Borba is another strikingly modern tale from a blazing progenitor of twentieth-century fiction.
