As autoras demonstram a partir de vasta e primorosa pesquisa documental como é possível se fazer um trabalho de história na nossa longa duraço sem se deixar cair no anacronismo o pecado fatal do historiador nas palavras de Bloch articulando memoria, teoria, arquivos e censura em dois momentos: seculo XIX e seculo XX.Investigando a atuaço do Conservatorio Dramatico Brasileiro no seculo XIX e a complexidade da censura durante o regime militar no seculo XX, as autoras desvelam as relaçes entre homens de letras e policia bem como, fugindo das dualidades simplistas, demonstram que os censores, para alem do repressivo e punitivo tinham pretenses pedagogicas e educativas, fossem essas "o civilizar" no XIX ou a construço do cidado "morigerado" e anticomunista no XX.Neste sentido, o leitor descobre que bons costumes, moralidade, politica e censura se articulam na longa duraço da sociedade brasileira, em diferentes momentos, a partir de dinamicas politicas e culturais proprias.

Sie wollen wirklich, dass ich Ihnen mein Leben erzahle? Keine Ahnung, wen das interessiert, aber ich habe sowieso nichts Besseres zu tun und Sie wollen mir ja auch ein paar Riel dafur geben, also abgemacht. Geld kann jeder gebrauchen. Wie alt ich bin? 17, sehe jung aus, oder? 36? Sie sehen junger aus. Wie 27. Okay, dann werde ich Sie duzen, dich meine ich. Wenn man von hier aus aufs Meer schaut und die frohlichen Menschen am Strand sieht, kann man sich nicht vorstellen, dass auch eine sehr hassliche Seite dieser Stadt existiert. Du bist der erste, der danach fragt und ich glaube, auch der letzte. Mein Leben war wirklich schlecht und dass ich noch nicht den Abflug gemacht und mich umgebracht habe, ist ein Wunder. Grund genug hatte ich auf jeden Fall. Ich traf Diego, 17 Jahre, Brasilianer, in einem Cafe in Rio de Janeiro. Er erzahlte mir sein Leben, wie er aufwuchs, Straenkind wurde und uberlebte. Diego berichtet uber Gewalt, Betteln, Diebstahl, Freundschaft, seine ersten Erfahrungen mit Madchen und wie er mit einem Freund von ihm durchs Land tingelte auf der Suche nach Arbeit und einer Zukunft. Seine Geschichte fesselte mich so stark, dass es mir ein Anliegen war, diese aufzuschreiben.

British novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement. He captured the epoch just before the railways and the industrial revolution changed the English countryside. His works are pessimistic and bitterly ironic, and his writing is rough but capable of immense power.His first novel, The Poor Man and the Lady, finished by 1867, failed to find a publisher and Hardy destroyed the manuscript. Only parts of the novel remain. He was encouraged to try again by his mentor and friend, Victorian poet and novelist George Meredith. Desperate Remedies [1871] and Under the Greenwood Tree [1872] were published anonymously. In 1873 A Pair of Blue Eyes, a story drawing on Hardys courtship of his first wife, was published under his own name.In Far from the Madding Crowd [1874], his next (and first important) novel, Hardy introduced Wessex, the "partly-real, partly-dream" county named after the Anglo-Saxon kingdom that existed in the area. The landscape was modelled on the real counties of Berkshire, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire, with fictional places based on real locations.Over the next twenty-five years Hardy produced ten more novels.The Hardys moved from London to Yeovil and then to Sturminster Newton, where he wrote The Return of the Native [1878]. In 1885, they moved for a last time, to Max Gate, a house outside Dorchester designed by Hardy and built by his brother. There he wrote The Mayor of Casterbridge [1886], The Woodlanders [1887], and Tess of the dUrbervilles [1891], the latter which attracted criticism for its sympathetic portrayal of a "fallen woman" and was initially refused publication. Jude the Obscure, published in 1895, was met with even stronger negative outcries by the Victorian public for its frank treatment of sex.Despite this criticism, Hardy had become a celebrity in English literature by the 1900s, with several blockbuster novels under his belt, yet he was disgusted with the public reception of two of his greatest works. He gave up writing novels altogether

Shortlisted for the 2018 Theatre Book PrizeFrom the tip of Cornwall to the Isle of Mull, through rural communities and the inner-city, Amber Massie-Blomfield takes the road less travelled to discover Britains most astonishing and unexpected theatres. A ruined playhouse, haunted halls, a stage hewn from granite cliffs. Theatres on wheels, squeezed into a former public lavatory and rescued from fire. A theatre that is not there at all.Making the case for radical, quirky and non-conforming performance spaces alongside iconic venues, this book is a celebration of thriving against the odds. It also tells a personal account of a life-long love affair with the places where anything is possible: from open-air fry-ups and an impromptu can-can to paranormal manifestations.An adventure through theatre, place and the people who make it happen, Twenty Theatres to See Before You Die gives us reason to be hopeful.

Twelfth Night, or What You Will[1] is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 160102 as a Twelfth Nights entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centres on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man.

The first recorded performance was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, the formal end of Christmastide in the years calendar. The play was not published until its inclusion in the 1623 First Folio (font: Wikipedia)

Performing Urgency #2 Series Edited by Florian Malzacher.Turn Turtle, Turn! Reenacting The Institute is a creative and intellectual analysis of the new turn in the perception and workings of the institutes in the performing arts.What has become apparent in the last ten years or so is a move towards an engaged re-appropriation of the arts institute in artistic (performance) practices, and a more in-depth collaboration between institutes and artists in rethinking the functioning, the position, and the decision-taking structure of these organisations. Rather than the institutional critique in the field of the visual arts, in the performance sector the institute can often be considered as a focus point for the concerns of diverse players in the field (artists, producers, programmers, union structures), which helps them to address issues that otherwise could only be dealt with in fragmentary meetings and practices.This book addresses the crisis of the institute within a context of severe economic, political and social crisis. In several contributions in this book, authors refer to the Occupy movement as a major source of inspiration for new instituent practices, as art theorist Gerald Raunig calls them. His essay deals with a pretty well-known example of such a radical takeover, the Teatro Valle Occupato in Rome.

William Shakespeares "Troilus and Cressida", written in 1602, is frequently cited as one of his most complex plays, as its tone varies wildly, and the characters are presented in an opaque manner, rendering them difficult to analyse and understand.The story opens several years into the Trojan War. Trojan prince Troilus falls in love with Cressida, as war rages around them. After vowing to be faithful, Cressida, the daughter of a Trojan priest who switched sides, is traded to the Greek camp, and she finds herself in the clutches of the Greek Diomedes. Troilus witnesses Cressidas unfaithfulness and vows to put more effort into the war...Meanwhile, the familiar story of the famous warriors Achilles, Hector, Ajax, and Ulysses fills in the lovers tragic narrative.

Sherwood Anderson (September 13, 1876 March 8, 1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Self-educated, he rose to become a successful copywriter and business owner in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. In 1912, Anderson had a nervous breakdown that led him to abandon his business and family to become a writer.At the time, he moved to Chicago and was eventually married three more times. His most enduring work is the short-story sequence Winesburg, Ohio, which launched his career. Throughout the 1920s, Anderson published several short story collections, novels, memoirs, books of essays, and a book of poetry. Though his books sold reasonably well, Dark Laughter (1925), a novel inspired by Andersons time in New Orleans during the 1920s, was the only bestseller of his career.He may be most remembered for his influential effect on the next generation of young writers, as he inspired William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Wolfe. He helped gain publication for Faulkner and Hemingway.

Il tema dellinquietudine, dellamore, della gelosia e ampliato da Goldoni nella Trilogia della villeggiatura (Le smanie per la villeggiatura, Le avventure della villeggiatura, Il ritorno dalla villeggiatura), assai impegnativa per impianto, azione e temi. Nella trilogia lamore rischia di travolgere lonore e le norme morali. Goldoni rappresenta un nucleo familiare messo in pericolo dalla passione amorosa e dalla dissipazione economica, causata dal fatuo desiderio di ben figurare in societa, a cui oppone una saggezza concreta e la consapevolezza dei propri limiti economici e della propria condizione sociale, in una complessa struttura di situazioni, comportamenti, caratteri, ambienti, rappresentando cosi levoluzione del sentimento amoroso, in un crescendo passionale, riportando poi la situazione nei limiti del buon senso.
