2023. "Suprematismo bianco e architettura greca negli Stati Uniti: da Thomas Jefferson a Donald Trump."Mesopotamian temples were not just places of worship. They were also complex socio-economic institutions and centers of learning and scholarship. To ensure their smooth functioning, people of all levels of society participated in a wide variety of tasks within their walls. Throughout Mesopotamian history, the temple community consisted largely of men. As the story of Enheduanna shows, however, women too were prominently present in the temple. In this talk, we will explore the diversity of women’s roles in this sacred setting by way of three brief vignettes, in which we will meet a priestess, a slave, and a weaver.

Para os mediuns os fenomenos mediunicos conjeturam uma dimensao imaterial, intangivel, efemera, subjetiva e particular, que se constroi e e significada no plano material da realidade objetiva da vida cotidiana. Tais manifestacoes comunicam codigos simbolicos expressos por uma linguagem sociocultural extremamente rica semanticamente. Parto da hipotese de que uma linguagem supostamente transmitida pela doutrina espirita constitui uma das principais razoes pela qual muitos sujeitos justificam sua adesao ao corpo de crencas, valores e preceitos morais baseados nas codificacoes feitas por Allan Kardec. E, por conseguinte, se sentem identificados com tal cosmovisao compartilhada, que preve basicamente a possibilidade da vida alem da morte, de uma continuidade para a trajetoria do espirito atraves da reencarnacao e da comunicacao com o espirito dos mortos. A religiao Espirita assim como qualquer outra religiao e capaz de aferir orientacoes comportamentais responsaveis por guiar a conduta d...

Atmospheres of the Marvelous: Postcritical Reading and the Re-Enchantment of the World2023 •
Central to discussions of the development and reception of Latin American fiction in the second half of the twentieth century are the categories of "magical realism" and "lo real maravilloso." Embraced by some as vibrant forms of cultural hybridity coming out of the Global South-"the literary language of the emergent postcolonial world," as Homi Bhabha once put it 1-they are also, almost in the same breath, decried by others as commodified misrepresentations of non-Western otherness, coveted items that flood the marketplace by catering to Western readers' unquenchable thirst for the exotic. Jean Franco thinks of magical realism along these lines when she calls it nothing more "than a brand name for exoticism" 2 ; Sylvia Molloy expresses similar sentiments when she dubs it "a regional, exoticized commodity" redolent of an "essentialized primitivism." 3 Commodification, exoticism, branding-the language of the market has seeped so deeply into discussions of this literary form that, in certain cases, magical realism comes to appear as a paragon of the market in and of itself: a literary style that epitomizes the desire to conquer the market and turn a profit. 4 This bipolar reception of magical realism sets up the terms for a debate whose resonances go well beyond the history or ontology of magical realism as a literary form, bleeding into broader discussions of national or even continental culture in Latin America. Once it steps up onto this larger stage, Latin American magical realism becomes much more than literature, unfolding into an ideology of culture that for several decades now we have loved to hate. Ana María Ochoa labels this cultural ideology as "macondismo": "an ideology that is celebratory of magical realism's trait of seeing Latin America as undecipherable, beyond the code, and as a place whose very disjunctures are, in and of themselves, identifying characteristics." 5 But what is most curious about these dominant, polarizing positions, manifested through a myriad different articulations over more than half a century, is that both of them have routinely failed to consider certain basic,
