{"title":"Evando Nascimento","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"retrato-desnatural","title":"Unnatural portrait","description":"Despite the subtitle \"diaries\" and the apparent chronological organization of much of the book, the text is not nonfiction. The volume presents poems, short stories, chronicles, and other textual forms. \"A diary, in principle, should be published as it was transcribed from the original entry. That's where the writer's imagination came in. Instead of reproducing the texts as they emerged, I set myself the endless task of rewriting them. In other words, I transformed the diary into literature, which to some extent it already is, but only to a certain extent. And as I rewrote, I altered the lived events, giving them the form of fiction and\/or poetry,\" explains the author. Poet Antonio Cícero also weighs in on the subject in the book's blurb: \"In other words, it would be inappropriate to apply the conventional distinction between fiction and nonfiction. Likewise, although, prima facie, we tend to classify several of the texts in Retrato desnatural as poems, many others as essays, still others as chronicles, or thoughts, or short stories, or—using a neologism coined by the author himself—as interversions, the truth is that, generally speaking, nothing is less interesting to them than their conformation to this or that genre.\" The attentive reader will find references to great masters of Brazilian literature throughout the volume, beginning with the title, which references one of Cecília Meireles's books, Retrato natural. \"Let's say I tried to 'denature' Cecília's 'self-portrait,' seeking to give it a more contemporary, less traditional appearance.\" In the \"Respirações\" series, in which the author poetically redictions words, the reference is to the author of Grande sertão: veredas: \"Guimarães Rosa said, in the famous interview with Günter Lorenz, that his dream would be to one day write a dictionary. [...] What I did, I believe, was try to create a poetic and fictional glossary that highlighted various words and attributed new meanings to them.\"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174822199548,"sku":"9788501082305","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"o-pensamento-vegetal","title":"Plant thought","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat do plants think?

A thought-provoking and thought-provoking book, divided into three parts: climates and landscapes; bestiary; and corners of the world. With a strong autobiographical tone, it also features texts that unfold into stories of love, separation, fictional letters, and philosophical musings. With a PhD in Philosophy from the Free University of Berlin and experience at the Sorbonne and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (School of Higher Education in Social Sciences), Evando Nascimento lends his writings a certain universal air. At the same time, he unsettles by displacing things from their usual, natural, and expected place, moving the world and its corners. The reaction is simple: the reader is compelled to move with him, to experience the circle of impossibilities proposed by the author. But within this carousel of literary possibilities, the author's voice punctuates each text, a compass for the journey through these corners of a world of letters. As Márcio Seligmann, a prestigious professor of Literary Theory at Unicamp, argues on the book's blurb: \"We can characterize this 'I' as its style. But we can also see, in the characters created, the masking—heteronomous—games of this implicit author.\" CORNERS OF THE WORLD proposes a discussion of contemporary elements: the crumbling of future prospects, fragile social and emotional bonds, the overvaluation of consumption, the fragmentation of the subject. Evando offers us a succession of journeys, colors, smells, feelings. The four corners of a very large world where existence is a rudderless boat, always in motion.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176295678204,"sku":"9788501092021","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6d6500aa24ea38b86d5dbac5ffaa7b57.jpg?v=1778314112"},{"product_id":"clarice-lispector-uma-literatura-pensante","title":"Clarice Lispector: A Thinking Literature","description":"Evando Nascimento presents an innovative approach to studying the work of one of Brazil's most celebrated writers. In *Clarice Lispector: A Thinking Literature*, the researcher invites other texts and quotations into the dialogue to help us reflect on the author's writings. The essays offer thought-provoking reflections on her novels, short stories, and chronicles, but also on less emblematic texts, such as the writer's correspondence, interviews, and the women's columns she wrote in specialized periodicals. Evando's analyses reveal how Clarice's fiction developed a very unique way of thinking. \"(...) this is not exactly a book about Clarice, but rather a book based on her, incorporating other texts and other reflections,\" explains the author. The essays, organized in two parts, are guided by the notion of a thoughtful literature, but one that eschews the label of \"philosophical literature.\" Evando's reflections on \"the other\" also feature prominently in his texts. The question of life and death, the human and the non-human, animality, plants, love and evil, are some of the themes that permeate the entire book.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176307867900,"sku":"9788520010655","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/afa9681d7bdbf2d1722cf978c0a5b808.jpg?v=1778319003"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/evando-nascimento.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
