The purpose of the present study is to analyze the relationship between two modes of acquiring and professing the culture that compete in the Argentine intellectual universe during the first decades of the twentieth century, namely the private sphere of cultural production and the official university, linked to the State. The objective is to understand how the wide network of literary journals that characterizes Buenos Aires of this context developed in relation of tension with the professionalization of the University that was accentuated from the Reformation of Cordoba in 1918. In the end, this article aims to shed light on the possibility of approaching the intellectual field from the inspiration of Carl Schorske in Vienna Fin du Siècle: considering that intellectual and cultural phenomena do not succeed or confront themselves only as consistent unities (diachronic) but rather, that they are related, in a synchronic way, to the other cultural and political manifestations of their time.

The present work intends to discuss, through the analysis of sources, how military discourse, at two different times, kept among its characteristics an articulation between the notions of excesses, exception and order. In defense of a vague but active conception of order, they engaged in repressive processes that organized portions of the State for the systematic use of violence. These processes appear in their discourse sometimes as excesses committed at the end of the system, sometimes as legitimate exceptions to the legal framework, since the defense of order sometimes requires the use of legally unforeseen resources, particularly when the situation is analogous to a war. The speeches that allow us to perceive this articulation were sought in the discussions around of the State Armed Forces in the 1987-8 constituent and, thereafter, in the statements given to the National Truth Commission (CNV). Transition and transitional justice appear here challenged by the narratives that justify, at one time and another, the continued use of violence.

This paper analyzes the movie The Nun and The Torturer (1983), directed by Ozualdo R. Candeias, which approaches the abuses imposed on a religious woman during the hardest years of the Brazilian military dictatorship, at the same time exploring the sexual encounters between other imprisoned side characters. Since the movie was censored by the Public Diversion Censorship Division (DCDP) in the final years of the dictatorship, its censoring process is also unraveled in this article, which exposes the connections and mismatches between moral and political censorships in the period of transition to democracy.

This article intends to analyze transnationally black carnival performances of the cordões and canboulay bands in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in the Post-Abolition period. The aim is to understand the collective strategies of black subjects to build autonomy spaces and claim and occupy public spaces in contexts of hegemony of racialized and racist views. This comparative perspective allows us to reflect on Post-Abolition as an historical Atlantic problem, approaching the Caribbean and the South Atlantic. To do so, we will use primary sources of archives in Rio de Janeiro and London, especially police and government documents, at the National Archives, and at the National Archives of Brazil, and newspapers, magazines and memorialists, archived in the British Library and the Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil. We conclude that the creators of the cordões and canboulay bands produced dissident black performances and communicated to broad and varied audiences identities that combined Afro-American practices and expressions of resistance to attacks by public forces, while reinforcing their humanity against stereotypes about being black in the post-abolition of the Americas, whether in colonial context or in an independent republic.

This article intends to investigate and to problematize about the different levels of proximity and similarity of the intellectual and political paths of two Latin American thinkers: Mário Pedrosa in Brazil and José Carlos Mariátegui in Peru. They are probably part of the same generation of Latin American militants and intellectuals who sought to interpret reality critically, translated into common trajectories of research methodologies and practices, theoretical reflection, and political activities, overcoming the narrow limits of economic and cultural development in their countries. In this sense, reference is made to this investigation not only in the historiographical debates, but in the dialogue the most significant correspondences and works of Mariátegui and Pedrosa. After a brief biographical and comparative exposition of the two authors and their political activities, it is intended to expose the points of contact of their reflections and activities in the fields of economics and political thought and their common contributions in the field of cultural criticism.

After declaring itself a cooperative republic, Guyana underwent two remarkable processes: internally, it nationalized the production of bauxite and sugar, strengthening the power of the State over the population; externally, sought to play a leading role in the non-aligned countries and in the Third World, with the support of Cuba and China. In a context of economic crisis and territorial dispute with Venezuela, on the one hand, and several socialist movements in the Caribbean and Central America, on the other, the country got a high-level partnership from Brazil, guaranteeing commercial release and at the same time political support. Analyzing the documentation that the foreign ministers produced for the analysis of presidential generals, I try to analyze how Guyana has moved on the international scene, in view of Brazilian diplomacy and its capacity to absorb this complicated country in its zone of influence. I emphasize that this is an unpublished documentary series, a precious resource for research on Guyana in Brazil.
