{"title":"Peter Burke","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"o-historiador-como-colunista","title":"The historian as columnist","description":"*The Historian as Columnist*, by English historian Peter Burke, contains a selection of his articles written for the Folha de São Paulo newspaper, in which Brazil is a frequent, but not unique, subject. Over the past 14 years, the author has addressed a variety of topics in his bimonthly column, ranging from globalization to everyday objects and habits. His concern for understanding the Other can be seen throughout his work. The gaze of a curious foreigner permeates all of the author's texts, which, when not specifically about Brazil, make some reference to the country's culture or history. \"...there is an additional detail in the texts of this book to fascinate the reader: a Brazil different from the interpretations that colonized minds only recognize in the history of emblematic countries of Western and contemporary history,\" states José de Souza Martins, PhD in Sociology, author of the book's blurb. As a specialist in Cultural History, Peter Burke offers the reader a series of texts on everyday elements from a social and cultural perspective. Carnival was the subject of his analysis, which emphasizes Brazil as a global icon of this celebration and presents the origins and trajectory of this great festival throughout the centuries. Soccer, clothing, shopping malls, and cleanliness are other topics addressed by Burke. The success of biographies among Brazilian and international readers is considered by the author in several texts. Characters from various eras are intertwined among those chosen: Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, Habermas, and Hobsbawn are some of them. All of them are the subject of reflection, which always takes into account the historical context of the character. Distant cultures are also themes in the historian's texts. In his analyses, he seeks to show the differences between societies, so that the reader can understand and respect the Other. The history of ideas and mentalities appears in articles such as \"The History of the Future,\" \"Cultural Loan,\" \"What is Corruption?\", among others.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159611752700,"sku":"9788520008256","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/f8d2ff060604774a47ff3ff59e4ba2ee_5696845f-9f96-4081-bcb8-247d094d854c.jpg?v=1778324977"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/peter-burke.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
