Como apreender o jornalismo sob o prisma da historicidade dos seus fenomenos? Ao buscar caminhos para responder essa indagaço, este livro problematiza a maneira normativa pela qual a atividade jornalistica e sua historia tem sido prioritariamente descritas nos discursos autorreferentes, sobretudo naqueles ligados a ideais modernizadores. Mesmo diante de uma materialidade complexa, o que se percebe nesses ideais e a adoço de um conceito estreito e totalizador, que fixa "jornalismo" como uma categoria vazia das dimenses temporais. Dita perspectiva, persistente na historiografia sobre os jornais brasileiros, instaura uma narrativa presentista que tende a considerar o passado como um deposito inerte, sem capacidade de nos afetar ou agenciar. Isso fica evidente, por exemplo, no relato da modernizaço do jornalismo brasileiro nos anos 1950, calcado na ideia de grandes rupturas e revoluçes a partir de uma visada linear e teleologica.

Lowell and Hardwick are acutely intelligent observers of marriages, children, and friends, and of the feelings that their personal crises gave rise to.The Dolphin Letters, masterfully edited by Saskia Hamilton, is a debate about the limits of art - what occasions a work of art, what moral and artistic license artists have to make use of their lives as material, what formal innovations such debates give rise to. The crisis of Lowells The Dolphin was profoundly affecting to everyone surrounding him, and Bishops warning to Lowell - art just isnt worth that much - haunts.
