The first comprehensive cultural history of Brazil to be written in English, Brazil Imagined: 1500 to the Present captures the role of the artistic imaginary in shaping Brazil's national identity. Analyzing representations of Brazil throughout the world, this ambitious survey demonstrates the ways in which life in one of the world's largest nations has been conceived and revised in visual arts, literature, film, and a variety of other media. Beginning with the first explorations of Brazil by the Portuguese, Darlene J. Sadlier incorporates extensive source material, including paintings, historiographies, letters, poetry, novels, architecture, and mass media to trace the nation's shifting sense of its own history. Topics include the oscillating themes of Edenic and cannibal encounters, Dutch representations of Brazil, regal constructs, the literary imaginary, Modernist utopias, "good neighbor" protocols, and filmmakers' revolutionary and dystopian images of Brazil. A magnificent panoramic study of race, imperialism, natural resources, and other themes in the Brazilian experience, this landmark work is a boon to the field.

This book is a study in the social history of literature. Portugal's power and prestige began to decline in the mid-1500's, reducing the nation's international standing and self-image to a low point from which it has never fully recovered. In the ensuing years, this book argues, mythicizing the Age of the Discoveries and establishing a link to it have been recurring patterns in Portuguese thought. These patterns are reflected in what is called "the literature of national regeneration." Portugal's days of glory were short-lived: from the capture of the Arab port of Ceuta in North Africa (1415) to the defeat by the Moors in present-day Morocco (1578). The latter, in which the Portuguese king and the cream of the nobility perished, led to the accession of a Spanish king and to the end, in the Portuguese consciousness, of an era of greatness. The author's introduction discusses the impact on Portugal of "two of the strongest intellectual currents of the age--Renaissance Humanism and a late-Medieval tendency toward prophecy," showing these "involved an extremely idealistic outlook on experience" and that such idealism was subject to frustration. Dr. Sousa shows how the self-image of writers since the Age of the Discoveries "commingles in their minds with the image they have of their nation." Chapters are devoted to Luis de Camoes and his epic poem Os Lusiadas (1572), Antonia Vieira and his Historia do Futuro (1647-63), Almeida Garrett and his lyric-narrative poem Camos (1825) Eca de Queiroz and his novel A Ilustre Casa de Ramires (1900), and Fernando Pessoa and his volume of poetry Mensagem (1934). Each of these authors is shown to treat the preoccupations of his time--ethical, political, and aesthetic--but with the leitmotif of national regeneration. The book's unique literary-historical synthesis makes it valuable to both Hispanic scholars and those seeking an introduction to Portuguese literature.

Based on more than two decades of research conducted on five continents, this monumental work focuses on the activities of members of the Society of Jesus from its foundation to the eve of its expulsion from the Portuguese world. A second volume will examine the Orders expulsion, the fate of its members, and the disposition of its assets in Portugal and her empire from 1750 to 1808. The present volume begins with the Societys introduction to Portugal and traces its expansion throughout what the Society defined as the Portuguese Assistancy, a vast complex of administrative units that included the kingdom of Portugal and her empire plus portions of the Indian subcontinent, Japan, China, the Indonesian archipelago, and Ethiopia. Though it fully describes the evangelical and educational activities of the Jesuits, the book emphasizes their political relations with Portuguese and indigenous leaders, the founding of their major training facilities, the development of their economic infrastructure, their activities as governmental administrators for the Portuguese in India and China, and their role in Portugals unsuccessful attempts to preserve her eastern empire and to revive Brazil after the Dutch occupation (1630-1654). Throughout, the author makes insightful comparisons between the Jesuits and their peers in various parts of the Portuguese Assistancy and between the Jesuits and their monastic predecessors in various parts of Europe, notably France and England.

A National Book Award Finalist, Sarah Shun-lien Bynum's enchanting and inventive first novel is a groundbreaking, contemporary classic When a girl falls into a mysterious, impenetrable sleep, the borders between her provincial French village and the peculiar, beguiling realm of her dreams begin to disappear: A fat woman sprouts delicate wings and takes flight; a failed photographer stumbles into the role of pornographer; a beautiful young wife grows to resemble her husband's viol. Madeleine, the dreamer, travels in their midst, trying to make sense of her own metamorphosis. She leaves home, joins a gypsy circus, and falls into an unexpected triangle of desire and love. Embracing the earthy and the ethereal, the comical and the poignant, Madeleine Is Sleeping is part fairy tale, part coming-of-age story, and above all, an adventure in the discovery of art, sexuality, community, and the self.
