Le 14 novembre 1906, jour de ses dix-neuf ans, le jeune Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, étudiant en architecture, quitte son village natal, Manhufe, au nord du Portugal, pour Paris. Dix ans plus tard, il est présenté par Fernando Pessoa comme "le plus célèbre peintre portugais d'avant-garde", avant d'être emporté à l'âge de trente ans par l'épidémie de grippe espagnole. Pour la première fois en France, d'éminents spécialistes révèlent au public le plus large l'oeuvre étourdissante d'un artiste phare du Portugal du début du XXe siècle. Sont ainsi soulignés les liens étroits qui l'unissaient aux artistes les plus créatifs de son temps, parmi lesquels Modigliani, Brancusi ou le couple Delaunay, tout comme son rôle actif dans la naissance des grandes révolutions esthétiques : cubisme, futurisme, orphisme et expressionnisme. Artiste singulier, Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso participa aux expositions collectives les plus importantes de son temps : les Salons de Paris (1911-1912), l'Armory Show aux Etats-Unis et le premier Salon d'Automne à Berlin (1913). C'est pourtant privé de la reconnaissance de ses pairs et méconnu de l'histoire de l'art qu'il acheva sa vie au Portugal, où il donna la pleine mesure de son art durant la guerre.

 John Philip Sousa's mature career as the indomitable leader of the United States Marine Band and his own touring Sousa Band is well known, but the years leading up to his emergence as a celebrity have escaped serious attention. In this revealing biography, Patrick Warfield explains the making of the March King by documenting Sousa's early life and career. Covering the period 1854 to 1893, this study focuses on the community and training that created Sousa, exploring the musical life of late nineteenth-century Washington D.C. and Philadelphia as a context for Sousa's development.  Warfield examines Sousa's wide-ranging experience composing, conducting, and performing in the theater, opera house, concert hall, and salons, as well as his leadership of the United States Marine Band and the later Sousa Band, early twentieth-century America's most famous and successful ensemble. Sousa composed not only marches during this period but also parlor, minstrel, and art songs; parade, concert, and medley marches; schottisches, waltzes, and polkas; and incidental music, operettas, and descriptive pieces. Warfield's examination of Sousa's output reveals a versatile composer much broader in stylistic range than the bandmaster extraordinaire remembered as the March King. Warfield presents the story of Sousa as a self-made business success, a gifted performer and composer who deftly capitalized on his talents to create one of the most entertaining, enduring figures in American music.

En este libro se entiende por epistemologia del Sur la busqueda de conocimiento y de criterios de validez del conocimiento que otorguen visibilidad y credibilicen las practicas cognitivas de las clases, de los pueblos y de los grupos sociales que han sido historicamente victimizados, explotados y oprimidos por el colonialismo y el capitalismo globales. El Sur es, pues, usado aqui como metafora del sufrimiento humano sistematicamente causado por el colonialismo y capitalismo. Es un Sur que tambien en el Norte global geografico, el llamado Tercer Mundo interior de los paises hegemonicos. A su vez, el Sur global geografico contiene en si mismo, no solo el sufrimiento sistematico causado por el colonialismo y el capitalismo globales, sino tambien las practicas locales de complicidad con aquellos. Tales practicas constituyen el Sur imperial. El Sur de la epistemologia del Sur es el Sur antiimperial. La primera premisa de los ensayos aqui reunidos es que no habra justicia social global sin justicia cognitiva global. La segunda es que, tal como en el inicio, el capitalismo y el colonialismo continuan profundamente entrelazados, aunque las formas de articulacion hayan variado a lo largo del tiempo. La tercera es que la epistemologia del Sur apunta fundamentalmente a practicas de conocimiento que permitan intensificar la voluntad de transformacion social.

A long-unknown story of individual courage in the face of an authoritarian fascist bureaucracy unfolds in this inspiring biographical tribute to Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese consul to France in the early years of the Second World War. After the Nazi invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, Aristides de Sousa Mendes found himself continually more restricted by the policies of Portugal's prime minister, Dr. Antonio Oliveira de Salazar, who, like Franco in Spain, assumed a position of neutrality but did not wish to offend Hitler. It was Salazar's Circular 14 -- which denied, on the basis of race and religion, visas to the swelling number of refugees to Portugal -- that prompted the fifty-five-year-old Sousa Mendes's first acts of disobedience in his office at the consulate in the temporary French capital of Bordeaux. Over a period of six months in 1940, in accordance with his own conscience rather than Salazar's dictates, Sousa Mendes signed many thousands of visas that spared their recipients, ten thousand of them Jews, a terrible fate in the Nazi death camps. Sousa Mendes's acts of private resistance earned him Salazar's wrath, a forced early retirement, and years of dire poverty. They also won him a place in the pantheon of truly just men and, in Israel, a forest commemorating his tremendous heroism.
