Escrito originalmente sob a forma de dissertação de mestrado, tendo como título "Movimento Armorial: o erudito e o popular na obra de Antônio Carlos Nóbrega", orientada pelo professor Sébastien Joachim e aprovada com distinção pela banca examinadora do Mestrado em Literatura e Interculturalidade da universidade Estadual da Paraíba, a presente obra traz para o conhecimento público e debate acadêmico mais um capítulo da história do Movimento Armorial. Antônio Carlos Nóbrega em acordes e textos Armoriais se caracteriza como uma contribuição para a ampliação do acervo e das pesquisas sobre o Movimento Armorial, através da música, atividade essa de maior repercussão nacional do Movimento, ainda em carência no universo das pesquisas científicas. Ampliam-se, dessa forma, as possibilidades de abordagens para com um capítulo importante da cultura brasileira, que ainda carrega marcas e reflete o Movimento criado por Ariano Suassuna.

In 1885, Germany and Portugal became neighbours in Africa. The newly founded colony of German Southwest Africa prevented the southwards expansion of the ancient colony of Angola. The border along the Cunene and Kavango Rivers remained under dispute. After the outbreak of World War I in Europe, Portugal’s neutrality was questioned in German Southwest Africa, and when a group of German officials waiting near the border of Angola for food transports were shot in the Angolan fortress Naulila, a state of war between both colonies seemed inevitable. German troops launched several military reprisals against fortresses in southern Angola, most significantly against Naulila in December 1914. After their victory at Naulila, the Germans retreated to GSWA. However, African powers, most notably Kwanyama forces led by King Mandume, used the weakness of the defeated Portuguese army to expel the colonial troops from southern Angola. In 1915, a counter-offensive was launched with troops from Portugal that ended with the complete occupation of Kwanyama territories. After the war, a Luso-German arbitration procedure according to the Treaty of Versailles (1919) assessed the damages in Angola and Germany’s responsibility to pay reparations. The arbitration award of 1928 that established Germany’s responsibility for the violation of international law when attacking Naulila became a landmark case. It still holds relevance for modern international law. The final part of this book analyses the memorial culture that developed in Angola, Namibia, Germany and Portugal around the war in 1914/15.

Queer Insists is a memorial essay, a work of mourning, written for the queer theorist and performance scholar José Esteban Muñoz (1967-2013) shortly after his untimely death in December 2013. In a series of fragments, not unlike Roland Barthes’s Mourning Diary, Michael O’Rourke shares memories of Muñoz, the stories and reflections of his friends in the wake of his passing, and readings of his work from Disidentifications to Cruising Utopia and beyond. O’Rourke argues that, for Muñoz, queer does not exist, per se, but rather insists, soliciting us from the future to-come. Muñoz reached towards teleopoietic worlds as he invented a queer theory we have yet to find, but are invited to glimpse. Among the Muñozian themes this chapbook discusses are hope, utopia, affect, punk rock, heresy, the undercommons, temporality, hauntology, forgetting, loss, ephemera, partage, sense, incommensurability, the event and democracy. In reading Muñoz as a Rogue Theorist, this book borrows many of the gifts we have received (and have yet to receive) from him, marking the force and luminescence of his thought, and insisting upon the rare and precious singularity of his work. Muñoz bequeaths to us a queer studies without condition which it is our duty to foster and to bear as we carry it and him into the unknowable futures of an indiscipline

Contemplative landscape and contemplative space are familiar terms in the areas of design, landscape architecture and architecture. Krinke and her highly regarded contributors set out to explore definitions, theories, and case studies of contemplative landscapes. The contributors, Marc Treib, John Beardsley, Michael Singer, Lance Neckar, Heinrich Hermann and Rebecca Krinke have spent their careers researching, critiquing, and making landscapes. Here they investigate the role of contemplative space in a post-modern world and examine the impact of nature and culture on the design or interpretation of contemplative landscapes. The essays, drawn from both scholarship and personal experience explore the links between spaces designed to provide health benefits and contemplative space.

Galáxias (1984), the polyphonic world poem by the Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos, has been discussed to date mainly in the context of concrete poetry and the Latin American neo-baroque. By means of a new reading, Jasmin Wrobel shows that the work can be viewed as a poetic and concrete testimony to a century of catastrophe: it contains “textual stumbling blocks” that give the reader pause, which ultimately coalesce into a “Poetics of Stumbling.”

2013 was the 80th year of the takeover of power by the National Socialists in 1933, the 75th year of the Reichspogromnacht" on 9 November 193, and the 70th year of the air raids on Hamburg by allied groups known as ""Operation Gomorrha"" in the summer of 1943. With the slogan ""Hamburg remembers 2013"", a large number of commemoration ceremonies were held. The University of Hamburg was involved in the program of events during the commemorative year through several of its institutions. For its central event, it chose the reference date of 7 April 1933, the day on which the ""Law on the Restoration of Professional Officials"" came into force - the basis for the dismissals of ""non-Aryan"" and politically undesirable university teachers in Germany. This volume brings together the four speeches given at the event on 8 April 2013. The commemoration ceremony on April 8,2013 and its documentation are part of a thirty-year-long intensive engagement of the University of Hamburg with its history in the ""Third Reich"" - a confrontation that has to be continued and revived over and over again over the course of generations."

La France, comme d'autres pays d'Europe, porte encore dans son paysage et sa mémoire les blessures des nombreux conflits armés du xxe siècle. La Seconde Guerre mondiale, en particulier, y a engendré de nombreux « lieux de mémoire » : villages-martyrs, lieux de massacre par les nazis, camps d'internement vichystes, lieux de combats de la Résistance... Ces traces ont suscité la création de musées et de mémoriaux dont l'existence, en tant qu'institutions, ne laisse pas d'être problématique quant aux choix des thèmes et aux modes d'exposition des événements concernés. Dans ses thèses relatives à la muséologie, Georges-Henri Rivière parle ainsi d'une « ponctuation de l'espace adéquate à l'organisation idéologique du message à transmettre ». Que transmettre ? La guerre et la politique peuvent-elles devenir un patrimoine ? Telle sont les questions centrales posées par ces musées qui participent de stratégies mémorielles de groupes, de collectivités territoriales ou d'État, questions que reprennent à leur compte les auteurs du présent ouvrage pour engager une réflexion critique et stimulante sur les politiques de transmission de la mémoire.

This book is a collection of contributions to the Special Issue “Historical Acoustics: Relationships between People and Sound over Time”. The research presented here aims to explore the origins of acoustics and examine the relationships that have evolved over the centuries between people and auditory phenomena. Sounds have indeed accompanied human civilizations since the beginning of time, helping them to make sense of the world and to shape their cultures. Several key topics emerged, such as the acoustics of historical worship buildings, the acoustics of sites of archaeological interest, the acoustics of historical opera houses, and the topic of soundscapes as cultural intangible heritage. The book, as a whole, reflects the vibrant research activity around the “acoustics of the past”, which will hopefully be serve as a foundation for inspiring the future path of this discipline.
