A cultural and philosophical history of neon, from Paris in the twentieth century to the perpetually switched-on present day.For most of us, the word neon conjures images of lights, colors, nightlife, and streets. It evokes the poetry of city nights. For Luis de Miranda, neon is a subject of philosophical curiosity. Being and Neonness is a cultural and philosophical history of neon, from early twentieth-century Paris to the electric, perpetually switched-on present day Manhattan. It is an inspired journey through a century of night, deciphering the halos of the past and the reflections of the present to shed light on the future.Invented in Paris in 1912, neon first appeared on a modest but arresting sign outside a small barbershop; the sign lit up number 14, Boulevard Montmartre, attracting so many passersby that the barber's revenues soon doubled. A century later, neon is no longer just a sign; it is a mythic object―a metonymy of contemporary identity and a metaphor for the present, signifying the ubiquity of commerce and the tautology of hypermodernity. But perhaps the noble gas of neon whispers something more, something deeper? In ten short, poetic yet precise chapters, de Miranda explores the neon lights of the twentieth century. He considers, among other historical curiosities, the neon compulsions of the Italian Futurists; the Soviet program of “neonization”; the Nazi's deployment of neon for propaganda purposes; Baudelaire's “halo” and Benjamin's “aura”; neon as a gas and crystallized chaos; neon and power; neon and capitalism―all of this backlit by an original reading of Sartre's Being and Nothingness. This English edition has been thoroughly revised and adapted from the French edition, L'être et le neon.

Before there was Simón Bolívar, there was Francisco de Miranda. He was among the most infamous men of his generation, loved or hated by all who knew him. Though his roots are deeply entrenched in Latin America, he was a true world citizen-residing for extended periods in the United States and in Europe. His home was the nexus at which the Old and New Worlds met in the Age of Revolution. Venezuelan General Francisco Gabriel de Miranda (1750-1816) participated in the major political events of the Atlantic World for more than three decades. Before his tragic last days he would be Spanish soldier, friend of U.S. presidents, paramour of Catherine the Great, French Revolutionary General in the Belgian campaigns, perennial thorn in the side of British Prime Minister William Pitt, and fomenter of revolution in Spanish America. He used his personal relationships with leaders on both sides of the Atlantic to advance his dream of a liberated Spanish America. Eventually, the glory days would reach a screeching halt when a fellow revolutionary would turn him over to the opposition, and he would spend the rest of his natural life in a cramped, dank cell at the prison of La Carraca in Cádiz. Francisco de Miranda: A Transatlantic Life in the Age of Revolution is an insightful life-and-times account of Miranda, emphasizing the personal, human, social, and cultural context, and revealing the interconnectedness of the Atlantic World. Author Karen Racine brings the man into focus in a careful, thorough analysis, demonstrating the effect of his political and social savvy on both sides of the Atlantic, and showing how his savvy, firm political beliefs and courageous actions saved him from being the simple scoundrel that his dalliances suggested. Shedding light on one of history's most charismatic and cosmopolitan world citizens, Francisco de Miranda will appeal to all those interested in biography and Latin American history.

This book is the first to feature the work of the Brazilian photographer Alair de Oliveira Gomes (1921-1992). A philosopher, art critic, and university professor, he was in his fifties when he began to develop a body of photographic work that focused almost exclusively on athletic young men on the beach at Rio de Janeiro. This tireless collector of books, pictures, and films transformed the thousands of pages of his diaries into an immense erotic tableau of black-and-white photographs devoted to the beauty of the male physique. Photographs covertly taken on the beach, or with a telephoto zoom lens from the window of his apartment, were extensively reworked and ordered in carefully constructed sequences. This group of photographs, now preserved at the National Library of Rio, constitutes one of the most original photographic works of the last thirty years. 150 illustrations.

La autora asume el desafío de ofrecer una nueva lectura de la vida y vicisitudes de Francisco de Miranda, desde el momento en que abandona Venezuela, con apenas 20 años, hasta el triste desenlace que representó para su vida el fin de la Primera República, su entrega a las autoridades españolas, la prisión y su posterior fallecimiento en La Carraca. El libro comienza con el acontecimiento del cual deriva su título: un incómodo y escandaloso incidente promovido por los criollos principales de la capital contra su padre, Sebastián Miranda, tenido como individuo de inferior condición y –para mayor escarnio– casado con una panadera. En sus páginas se busca trascender, sin soslayar, la biografía política para prestar atención a los detalles de la vida cotidiana del Generalísimo: sus sentimientos, dolencias y caprichos; su vida amorosa, su vastísima cultura, sus viajes, su inagotable curiosidad, sus prisiones, persecuciones y fracasos y muchos otros aspectos que formaron parte de su agitada existencia. «Todos ellos, y seguramente muchos otros, son y seguirán siendo fuente fecunda de relatos, aproximaciones y acuciosos estudios sobre este personaje singular, cuya mayor cualidad fue, sin lugar a dudas, su constancia y empecinamiento en propiciar, aun a costa de su propia vida, la independencia de todo un continente. No lo logró en vida, pero murió a causa de ella».

Midway through the 20th century, Pedro Enríquez Ureña and Angel Álvarez de Miranda reflected on and took stock of the way in which Latin America had attempted storytelling through literature. The foundational stories of the 19th century were made up sometimes of the dreams of a visionary, and others from the pipe dreams of populist warlords. 20th century stories, meanwhile, tended to skip from ideas for the construction of a country on certain real foundations to laments at the oppression and exploitation of a people condemned to under-development. The themes have again changed in the 21st century, making way for globalization, cosmopolitanism, cross-cultural exchange, the marginalization of the African population, industrial development, and many others.

Dando inicio a renovacao da identidade visual das obras de Dias Gomes, a Bertrand Brasil relanca O pagador de promessas, um dos principais livros de sua carreira. Titulo de enorme sucesso no Brasil e no mundo, serviu de tema ao filme do mesmo titulo, ganhador da Palma de Ouro do Festival de Cannes de 1962.Nesta peca de renome internacional, o autor narra o emocionante calvario do simplorio Ze-do-Burro: para cumprir promessa feita a Iansa, pela cura de seu burro, ele divide seu sitio com os lavradores pobres e carrega pesada cruz de madeira no percurso de sessenta leguas, com o objetivo de deposita-la no interior da igreja de Santa Barbara, em Salvador.O poeta Ferreira Gullar assina as orelhas: Pois bem. Acabo de reler O pagador de promessas. Nao vou anunciar aqui o poder de permanencia dessa peca teatral, consagrada pela critica e pelo publico, dentro e fora do Brasil. Mas a verdade e que toda consagracao esta sujeita a revisao, e poderia acontecer que... Nao aconteceu. Pelo contrario, essa nova leitura de O pagador de promessas nao apenas veio reafirmar o meu juizo sobre ela, como convenceu-me de que se trata de uma das mais significativas criacoes da dramaturgia brasileira.Ao contrario do que acontece com muitas obras teatrais de qualidade, que se iniciam com impeto e as vezes o mantem ate certa altura para nos frustrar no final, esta peca de Dias Gomes e um todo completo e acabado: o seu final nao resulta em frustracao, mas em plenitude. E para isso e preciso que se reunam, na realizacao da obra, aqueles fatores imponderaveis que dao nascimento a verdadeira obra de arte.
