Nuyorican Feminist Performance: From the Café to Hip Hop Theater
by Patricia HerreraThe Nuyorican Poets Café has for the past forty years provided a space for multicultural artistic expression and a platform for the articulation of Puerto Rican and black cultural politics. The Café’s performances—poetry, music, hip hop, comedy, and drama—have been studied in detail, but until now, little attention has been paid to the voices of its women artists. Through archival research and interview, Nuyorican Feminist Performance examines the contributions of 1970s and ’80s performeras and how they challenged the Café’s gender politics. It also looks at recent artists who have built on that foundation with hip hop performances that speak to contemporary audiences. The book spotlights the work of foundational artists such as Sandra María Esteves, Martita Morales, Luz Rodríguez, and Amina Muñoz, before turning to contemporary artists La Bruja, Mariposa, Aya de León, and Nilaja Sun, who infuse their poetry and solo pieces with both Nuyorican and hip hop aesthetics.
Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art: A Critical Anthology
by Arlene Dávila and Yasmin Ramirez with Néstor David Pastor, Gabriel Magraner, and Nikki MyersAlthough Puerto Rican artists have always been central figures in contemporary American and international art worlds, they have largely gone unrecognized and been excluded from art history canons. Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art provides a critical survey of Puerto Rican art production in the United States from the 1960s to the present. The contributors assert the importance and contemporaneity of the Nuyorican art movement by tracing its emergence alongside other American vanguardist movements, highlighting its innovations, and exploring it as an expression of Puerto Rican culture beyond New York to include cities such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and Orlando. They also foreground the contributions and radical aesthetics of female, Black, and queer Puerto Rican artists. Following the expansion and decentralization of the Puerto Rican diaspora and its artistic output, this volume is a call to action for scholars, curators, and artists to address the historical inequalities that have marginalized Diasporican artists and reassess the presence of Puerto Rican artists.With: Néstor David Pastor, Gabriel Magraner, and Nikki MyersContributors.

O Abismo de Camille
by Ana Claudia Antunes Enrique Laso"O Abismo de Camille" é um diário. Através das palavras, cheias de culpa, de Edouard Faret, diretor do centro psiquiátrico de Montdevergues, iremos abordar a vida de Camille Claudel, uma mulher excepcional. Camille foi uma escultora incomparável e amante de Rodin, que procurou em um mundo de homens (no final do século XIX) fazer um nome, fama e prestígio que seu trabalho merecia. Ela não teve êxito. Em 1913, após a morte de seu pai que tanto a amava, ela foi internada à força em um hospício por sua própria família. Permaneceu ali por trinta anos, durante os quais ficou presa contra a sua vontade, até sua morte, embora os médicos e alguns parentes sabiam perfeitamente bem que ela não estava louca. "O Abismo de Camille" narra de uma forma poética esta terrível tragédia de uma mulher sem igual, uma artista brilhante que teve uma existência marcada pelo destino. Pela primeira vez um autor discorre sobre os anos de internamento de Camille, uma época um tanto sombria e anteriormente revista somente com alguma profundidade. É a mais profunda e relevante novela que Enrique Laso gerou até o momento. Nela conseguiu transmitir e transmutar sua admiração por Camille, enquanto vem da sua ira em um mundo que por inúmeras vezes se mostra injusto. Um mundo em que os miseráveis podem acabar ganhando...

O Let Us Howle Some Heavy Note: Music for Witches, the Melancholic, and the Mad on the Seventeenth-Century English Stage
by Amanda Eubanks WinklerIn the 17th century, harmonious sounds were thought to represent the well-ordered body of the obedient subject, and, by extension, the well-ordered state; conversely, discordant, unpleasant music represented both those who caused disorder (murderers, drunkards, witches, traitors) and those who suffered from bodily disorders (melancholics, madmen, and madwomen). While these theoretical correspondences seem straightforward, in theatrical practice the musical portrayals of disorderly characters were multivalent and often ambiguous.O Let Us Howle Some Heavy Note focuses on the various ways that theatrical music represented disorderly subjects--those who presented either a direct or metaphorical threat to the health of the English kingdom in 17th-century England. Using theater music to examine narratives of social history, Winkler demonstrates how music reinscribed and often resisted conservative, political, religious, gender, and social ideologies.

O Solo Homo: The New Queer Performance
by Holly Hughes David Román“Fresh, funny, sad, and sexy . . . [A] diverse collection of good, honest, and soundly structured monologue writing” (David Drake, Obie Award–winning actor and playwright). O Solo Homo is a diverse, definitive, and hugely entertaining collection representing the cutting edge of queer solo performance. The pieces in O Solo Homo touch nerves that run deep—from sex, politics, community, and health to the struggles and joys of family, friends, and lovers. Peggy Shaw, of Split Britches, revisits how she learned to be butch. The late Ron Vawter, of the Wooster Group, juxtaposes the lives of two very different men who died of AIDS: diva filmmaker Jack Smith and Nixon crony Roy Cohn. Tim Miller, one of the NEA 4, surveys the landscape of gay desire before and after the advent of AIDS. And Carmelita Tropicana, the “national songbird of Cuba,” makes an unforgettable, hilarious return to Havana. “A funny, personal, powerful primer of identity, performance and politics. O Solo Homo is a must read.” —Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of How I Learned to Drive “Naked passion, fiery intellect and dissatisfaction with the status quo mark all good performance art. This collection embodies those elements at their best. Each piece makes you sit up and listen.” —Jewelle Gomez, author of The Gilda Stories “O Solo Homo represents the most significant and vibrant cross-section of queer solo performance since the gospels. A must-have field guide for the amateur and professional alike. Ten thumbs up!” —The Five Lesbian Brothers
O melhor que a lua possa dar: Romance sobre a Bíblia
by Elena ChernikovaEste romance tragicómico de Elena Chernikova baseia-se nos eventos verídicos ocorridos na Rússia pós-soviética. A 18 de Fevereiro de 2006, numa conferência de imprensa realizada em Moscovo, um ministro bem-intencionado tinha declarado que todas as ciências provaram finalmente a veracidade da Bíblia relativamente à origem do Homem, apresentando um relatório interdisciplinar e avisando que «chegou a hora de reescrever todos os livros didácticos de Biologia, inserindo na educação um componente religioso». Esta declaração do ministro transtornou imediatamente a vida pessoal e familiar dos cidadãos, causando um apocalipse.
O salão dos artistas exilados na Califórnia: Salka Viertel acolheu no exílio atores e intelectuais proeminentes fugidos do nazismo
by Núria AñóSalka Viertel acolheu em seu exílio atores, intelectuais proeminentes e pessoas anônimas fugidas do nazismo. Biografia sobre a figura de Salka Viertel, uma atriz judia que emigrou para Hollywood e ficou popularmente conhecida como a roteirista da atriz Greta Garbo. Além disso, tinha um salão em Santa Mônica, Califórnia, ao qual ia grande parte da intelectualidade europeia no exílio. Salka foi uma mulher muito moderna e interessante para a época e que deve ser conhecida como merece. No libro aparecem temas como a suposta bissexualidade de Salka Viertel e a quantidade de reconhecido amigos que teve, citando apenas alguns: Albert Einstein, Charles Chaplin, Sergei Eisenstein, F. W. Murnau, Max Reinhardt, Arnold Schönberg, Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Greta Garbo, Montgomery Clift… Da mesma forma como Gertrude Stein e outras mulheres notórias, ela teve seu próprio salão literário pelo qual passaram escritores como Truman Capote, Christopher Isherwood, Gore Vidal e um longo etecetera. Outros temas que engloba são: a Berlim dos anos 20, a passagem do cinema mudo ao falado, visto a partir da Meca de Hollywood. Logo, a ascensão de Hitler e o que isso acarretou para a condição judia, devido à Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mais adiante a Guerra Fria e a caça às bruxas contra o comunismo. O certo é que a motivação da vida de Salka Viertel e do seu círculo de amigos engloba os grandes acontecimentos do século XX. Com tal projeto, a autora recebeu as bolsas de Shanghai Writing Program (China, 2016) e Baltic Centre (Suécia, 2017). “Um relato muito interessante e ainda penso nesses tempos como atuais, já que aos meus olhos, não avançamos muito na questão da aceitação dos “sentimentos interpessoais” em geral. Um grande livro, extremamente importante sobre a Hollywood dos anos trinta e quarenta e a influência de artistas de países eur
O Óscar da Felicidade
by Elena Chernikova Nonna PintoEste relato autobiográfico tem valor documental porque nele a autora não se limita relatar somente a história da sua própria vida, mas apresenta um testemunho do tempo e do espaço em que ocorreram as suas vivências. Nascida em 30 de Abril de 1960 em Voronej, na Rússia Soviética, Eléna Tchérnikova publicou o seu primeiro poema aos 15 anos. Ao entrar na Faculdade de Letras com dezassete, aprendeu que «existem editores, ideologia, dificuldades sociais, familiares, situacionais» e, por isso, quando terminou, escolheu a arte jornalística para se esconder «em jornais e rádio, e por muito tempo». Esperou quase até reforma pelo o momento em «que proibissem a luta de classes, qualquer ideologia, censura e redactores, para que pudesse escrever prosa.» (A presente edição não segue a grafia do novo Acordo Ortográfico.)
O. N. Pruitt's Possum Town: Photographing Trouble and Resilience in the American South (Documentary Arts and Culture, Published in association with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University)
by Berkley HudsonPhotographer O. N. Pruitt (1891–1967) was for some forty years the de facto documentarian of Lowndes County, Mississippi, and its county seat, Columbus--known to locals as "Possum Town." His body of work recalls many FSA photographers, but Pruitt was not an outsider with an agenda; he was a community member with intimate knowledge of the town and its residents. He photographed his fellow white citizens and Black ones as well, in circumstances ranging from the mundane to the horrific: family picnics, parades, river baptisms, carnivals, fires, funerals, two of Mississippi's last public and legal executions by hanging, and a lynching. From formal portraits to candid images of events in the moment, Pruitt's documentary of a specific yet representative southern town offers viewers today an invitation to meditate on the interrelations of photography, community, race, and historical memory. Columbus native Berkley Hudson was photographed by Pruitt, and for more than three decades he has considered and curated Pruitt's expansive archive, both as a scholar of media and visual journalism and as a community member. This stunning book presents Pruitt's photography as never before, combining more than 190 images with a biographical introduction and Hudson's short essays and reflective captions on subjects such as religion, ethnic identity, the ordinary graces of everyday life, and the exercise of brutal power.
