Alguns Aspectos Da Teoria Da Poesia Concreta by Paulo Franchetti Pdf

Esta obra consiste numa leitura dos textos básicos da teoria da poesia concreta, visando compreender a articulação do seu movimento, suas principais postulações e sua força argumentativa, bem como as contradições, as mudanças de rumo e as soluções teóricas encontradas ao longo das décadas de 1950 e 1960. Segundo o autor, a poesia concreta é referência obrigatória para qualquer reflexão séria sobre a produção e a crítica de literatura brasileira dos últimos 50 anos. Núcleo gerador de uma grande produção crítica e teórica, foco de polêmicas apaixonadas, a poesia concreta é objeto aqui de um estudo que busca estabelecer as linhas gerais de sua articulação enquanto projeto de intervenção literária, bem como situá-la no quadro mais amplo das transformações por que passou a cultura brasileira nas décadas de 1950 e 1960.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review by Neil Barron,R. Reginald Pdf

"Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Review" was founded in 1979 to provide comprehensive coverage of all the major and minor books being released in the genre at that time. This was the golden era of SF publishing, with a thousand titles (old and new) hitting the stands and the bookshelves each and every year. From the older classics to the newest speculative fiction, this was the period when the best and the brightest shined forth their talents. SF&FBR included reviews by writers in the field, by amateur critics, and by litterateurs and University professors. Over a thousand books were covered during the single year of publication, many of them having been reviewed no where else, before or since. The January 1980 issue includes a comprehensive index of all the works featured during the preceding year. This reprint will be a welcome addition to the literature of science fiction and fantasy criticism. Neil Barron is a retired bibliographer and literary critic, editor of the acclaimed "Anatomy of Wonder" series. Robert Reginald was the publisher for twenty-five years of Borgo Press, and has authored over 110 books of his own."

An Informal History of the Hugos by Jo Walton Pdf

Engaged, passionate, and consistently entertaining, An Informal History of the Hugos is a book about the renowned science fiction award for the many who enjoyed Jo Walton's previous collection of writing from Tor.com, the Locus Award-winning What Makes This Book So Great. The Hugo Awards, named after pioneer science-fiction publisher Hugo Gernsback, and voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Society, have been presented since 1953. They are widely considered the most prestigious awards in science fiction. Between 2010 and 2013, Jo Walton wrote a series of posts for Tor.com, surveying the Hugo finalists and winners from the award's inception up to the year 2000. Her contention was that each year's full set of finalists generally tells a meaningful story about the state of science fiction at that time. Walton's cheerfully opinionated and vastly well-informed posts provoked valuable conversation among the field's historians. Now these posts, lightly revised, have been gathered into this book, along with a small selection of the comments posted by SF luminaries such as Rich Horton, Gardner Dozois, and David G. Hartwell. "A remarkable guided tour through the field—a kind of nonfiction companion to Among Others. It's very good. It's great."—New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing on What Makes This Book So Great At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
