Going against the grain of conventional analysis of Brazilian literature, Martim Vasques da Cunha dares to write something that has even the politically incorrect shaken: in \"The Dust of Glory,\" he dismantles the theses sustained by repetitive criticism, rejects the style that distorts moral sensitivity, and puts ideas back in place by pointing out how and when political ideology poisoned the artistic imagination. For those who thought that cultural criticism in Brazil—more than simply literary criticism—had found \"the end of history\" in Antonio Candido and his disciples, a huge surprise: Martim puts all the pieces back on the board, including Candido's. With a text that convinces the reader through a knockout of arguments, the essayist shows in detail how the country has been brutalized by paranoia and self-mystification, to such an extent that it has become a great \"intellectual Carandiru,\" the dystopian paradise where Brazilian reality spins erratically.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159474356476,"sku":"9788501105707","price":94.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9a86e9c3a12f25e974ce620f02ac03f9.jpg?v=1778320788"},{"product_id":"a-tirania-dos-especialistas","title":"The tyranny of experts","description":"The new book by the author of Dust of Glory. After disrupting the Brazilian cultural canon in Dust of Glory (2015), Martim Vasques da Cunha now dedicates himself to an exercise we could title, à la Kubrick, \"How I Stopped Worrying and Started Loving Bolsonaro.\" This hypothetical title would be unfair only because this isn't exclusively about the Bolsonaro case, because there aren't even any sarcastic loves, and because concerns remain entirely justified. However, it's undeniable that the success of Trump, Farage, and Bolsonaro has hegemonized catastrophism in public debate, and that this phenomenon bothers Ivory Coast, who attributes it to an impotence of the liberal imagination. Because intellectuals, who remain calm, foreseeing only threats they understand, sometimes find themselves dethroned by the people, just as a lucid stevedore might decide to replace an inept helmsman. The uprising of recent years has had abstract ideas and the tyranny of experts as its philosophical targets, but it has also challenged political quietism, technocratic illusion, and the \"politics of skepticism.\" And so a \"politics of faith\" has been resurrected, albeit in a chaotic and plebeian form. It is therefore crucial to investigate and question the theses of \"reactionary\" ideologues, without diminishing the grave responsibilities of left-wing elites. In short, dense, and ingenious essays, which as readily discuss Musil's stupidity as O.J. Simpson's victimization, *The Tyranny of Experts* reminds us that this is all connected. That we must keep a cool head. And that no tweet will ever abolish political philosophy.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174767509756,"sku":"9788520013908","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8647858582a15abd073ba543edb45b80.jpg?v=1780457192"},{"product_id":"dicta-contradicta-vol-8","title":"Dicta \u0026amp; Contradicta (Vol. 8)","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEighth volume of the weekly magazine \u003cem\u003eDicta\u0026amp;Contradicta\u003c\/em\u003e , organized and edited by the Institute of Training and Education.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eDicta\u0026amp;Contradicta\u003c\/em\u003e is a biannual magazine launched in 2008 by the Institute of Training and Education.
