A Victory for Democracy in Brazil
Despite Jair Bolsonaro’s persistent efforts to undermine public trust in the 2022 election results, his defeat was upheld and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva returned to the presidency. But the subsequent storming of government offices by Bolsonaro’s supporters, along with other challenges facing Lula, left the country at an uncertain juncture
From Truth Commission to Post-Truth Politics in Brazil
A central feature of Bolsonaro's pro-dictatorship campaign stance was the promise it represented of a return to the old social order and traditional values
Special Section on Dictatorship and Its Legacies in Brazil
With the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian military coup in April 2014, and the publication of the Final Report of the Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV, National Truth Commission), the following December, multidisciplinary research into the 21-year dictatorial period has reached new levels of intensity.Scholars both within and outside Brazil are taking advantage of new resources generated by the CNV and over 80 local commissions over the past fe…
Toward a Culture of Memory in Brazil
This article explores the debate around testimony and its place within a culture of memory vis-à-vis other kinds of discourses (especially the literary) as they pertain to a book that has garnered significant media and critical attention in Brazil, K. by Bernardo Kucinski. Based on real events, the author draws from his memories of those times, often writing about his own direct experience, but deploying a range of literary strategies to tell the…
Reckoning with Dictatorship in Brazil
A conventional approach that takes into account only official reckonings might lead one to believe that Brazil has lacked a culture of memory of the military regime, at least until recently. Widening the scope to include cultural production, however, provides a different view: one of a long tradition of reckoning with the dictatorship. In postauthoritarian Brazil, the process of transition has been marked by a disjuncture between the profusion of…
Camilo's M(O)ther Women
In this essay, Rebecca Atencio argues that a recurring theme in Camilo Castelo Branco's work is the trope of the dead mother and the act of matricide itself. Theoretically informed by the pertinent and complementary theories of Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, she analyzes two "matricidal narratives," the popular narrative Maria! Não me mates! and the novella "Maria Moisés," as exemplary of these driving motifs in Camilo's work. Moving away from…
Brazilian Propaganda
In the wake of the National Truth Commission (2012–2014) and the 50th anniversary of the April 1964 coup that ushered in 21 years of authoritarian rule, academic books on Brazil's civilian-military dictatorship have proliferated. Among those published in English, one of the most revealing and timely is Nina Schneider's Brazilian Propaganda. Revealing because Schneider demonstrates that the Brazilian case differs markedly from the Nazi and Soviet …
Paul Amar. The Security Archipelago
K by Bernardo Kucinski
reviews Soviet period, this anthology also shows their adeptness at presenting multiple voices: women and men, young and old, urban and rural. In other words, female writers in Ukraine are not just interesting because they shed light on that mysterious “female psychological perspective” but because they are talented artists in their own right— so talented, in fact, that they escape simple taxonomy. These authors are not content to be classified a…

Para uma leitura pós-colonial de António Aurélio Gonçalves
Apesar de ser geralmente reconhecido como um dos mais talentosos escritores cabo-verdianos do século vinte, António Aurélio Gonçalves tem recebido pouca atenção da crítica literária, que o considera mais universal do que propriamente cabo-verdianos. Este ensaio propõe uma leitura pós-colonial de duas noveletas de Gonçalves, Pródiga e Virgens loucas, ambas as quais são baseadas em parábolas bíblicas. Uma análise destas duas obras a partir do conce…
Dangerous Minds
The radical nature of the emerging branch of textual production in Brazil called escritura da exclus?o, or writing of exclusion, challenges literary norms and resists traditional critical paradigms. This essay borrows from Spanish American testimonio theory in order to examine three representative texts, Sobrevivente Andr? du Rap (do Massacre do Carandiru) by Andr? du Rap, Diario de um detento: O livro by Jocenir, and Cap?o Pecado by Ferr?z. Whil…
