Escrevi sobre Guerra - I, primeiro volume da trilogia de Beatriz Bracher sobre a Guerra do Paraguai, e minhas frustrações com esse projeto que parecia promissor.

Resenha bastante arrasadora do trabalho da Federici sobre bruxas, que sempre vi ser alvo de muitas críticas, mas nesse caso tem a síntese e os recibos.

SO SO GLAD to see a PROPER rebuttal against Silvia Federici's very wrong scholarship in the latest Magic, Ritual and Witchcraft! Thank you, Rita Voltmer!

In the 1970s, an invention of tradition connected the fight for women’s liberation with the figure of the witch. However, this narrative grounded in male fantasies of the 19th century (Bachofen, Grimm, Michelet, and many others). The German “völkisch” feminism followed this pattern, as did Second Wave feminism after the Second World War, especially in its esoteric, spiritual, and ecological branch. The narrative gained ground in the European, the transatlantic and the postcolonial Women’s Movements. Modern witchcraft research has unmasked the “witchcraft narrative” as a mere invention of tradition. However, the “witch narrative” remains alive in the work of the Autonomist Marxist feminist Silvia Federici. The spirit of Grimm and Michelet, which had been conveyed via Gage, Murray and her epigones of spiritual feminism and eco-feminism, still breathes in Federici's books. This article deconstructs Federici’s witches. They are not the granddaughters of the witches who had not been burned, but simply the epigones of the witches invented by males during the 19th century.

This new translation of Trilce looks incredible.
msrcollective.bsky.social Mexican Studies Research Collective @msrcollective.bsky.social · 17d
Trilce is a blazingly vivid revelation of what poetry can be, at once a love poem, a poem of erotic urgency and frustration, a poem of family life, of political fury, a lament for the dead, a work of intense privacy and an address to the world. www.nyrb.com/products/tri...

O Brasil (ou qualquer país) é uma comunidade imaginada *e também* é uma abstração que nomeia a estrutura de organização política e administrativa que regula fronteiras, impostos, cidadania, infraestrutura etc.

The Business of Racism Labor and Environment in Brazil's Racial Capitalism IAN CARRILLO In The Business of Racism, Ian Carrillo employs a case study from Brazil’s sugarcane industry to show how racial capitalism is promulgated and maintained through politics and business. As Carrillo recounts, in the mid-2000s, Brazil embarked on a state-led project to improve environmental and labor conditions in sugarcane production. He describes how, seeing increased government regulation of their worksite as a threat to their power, the elites of Brazil’s sugar-ethanol industry repurposed long-standing racial ideologies to undermine progressive institutions and elevate their own leaders. Carrillo’s extensive ethnographic fieldwork in mills and plantations, as well as interviews with federal labor regulators and sugar-ethanol industry elites in Brazil, weaves together an account of how Brazil’s labor and environmental regulations are forged through racial and class struggles at worksites and within the state. The Business of Racism contributes to ongoing sociological debates about race, development, and the environment while highlighting future pathways for achieving racial justice, labor equality, and climate sustainability. dukeupress.edu/the-business-of-racism May 2026 | 278 pages, 4 illustrations 978-1-4780-3315-8 | $29.95 paperback $20.96 with discount Special offer: Use coupon code E26CRLLO to save 30% when you order from dukeupress.edu.

Fiz parte da geração prejudicada pela ausência de literatura brasileira no currículo, mas o que me interessa mais nesse texto é a atenção para como as ideias (e os cânones) estão entrelaçados com as instituições.

texto excelente! "reconstruir, com eles, a experiência intelectual do letrado ocidentalizado (ainda que nunca propriamente “ocidental”) na periferia de um sistema simbólico é transmitir ao estudante um repertório de práticas, imagens e sensibilidades+

Wrapping up one of the most rewarding teaching experiences I've had. Honestly moved by seeing the effort students dedicated to improving their writing/reading/thinking, and even more so by the ideas and insights they shared. What a privilege.

Ontem à noite teve um terremoto 4.4 em Araxá, cidade da família do meu pai. Acordei com avó e tias descrevendo o ocorrido: "o barulho foi ensurdecedor," "a sensação que algo aconteceu e você não sabe o que é," "parecia que um caminhão gigante tinha se chocado contra o meu portão."

Poemas da leva nova no perfil do Jornal Plástico Bolha, da PUC. Bati e voltei no RJ finde passado para lê-los diante de uma plateia mui generosa, depois falei em evento de cinema experimental. Tive o idílio de cair do palco ao fim da minha participação no debate. Para trás. Tinha um fundo falso.
