Starting from the video Barbed Hula by Sigalit Landau, in which the Israeli artist spins a hula hoop of barbed wire around his naked body, the text presents reflections on contemporary Israeli society in face of his working memory. It also discusses the project of the artist to build a salt bridge on the Dead Sea, thereby reactivating certain utopian energies typical of modernity.

Having as a starting point the Holocaust oral narratives recordings, this work aims to analyze the trajectories of testimonials from Nazism's women survivors. As selection criteria we chose those who experienced the concentration camps and forced labor, ghettos and those who acted in resistance fronts as partisans. The focus will be the life story of those who chose Brazil as a destination community, pressured by the anti-Semitic National Socialist German Party that sought the "final solution" to the Jewish people. Therefore the testimonials recordings aims to document these narratives resized in the spotlight of personal documents. To us-intermediaries and interlocutors-the reflection exercise helps to (re)think society, that today lives with new genocides.

They shattered their identity to achieve the purest and subjective Poetry. The dialogue between the Israeli subversive poems Yona Wollach and Brazilian Hilda Hilst. Unravel the poetic and narrative worlds of these two poets is a challenge to breath. This article does not pretend to do a thorough analysis. We intend to bring to light a few similarities and differences between Wollach and Hilst, two women adrift always, always "foreign" even within the home.

Inspired by the story of the families of Sam Garbarski, German Director, and Philippe Blasb and, Iranian filmmaker, The Tango of Rashevski, 2003, puts in scene a Belgian Jewish family, until the death of their matriarch, Rose, is fully aware of the cultural and religious tradition. The family, who notices all of a sudden, they not only don't know about their traditions, but also do not know each other. Although they share a jaded Jewish humor, love by Rosa and tango, the family cannot agree on almost nothing. From the death of Rose, is that all start to realize that it was she who knew all the traditions of the religion in which they do not know how to live. The identity, customs and rites are confused, especially when Nina, one of granddaughters, is courted by a Christian who accepts to convert to marry him. Or even when Rico, another grandson, falls in love and decides to live with Khadija, a Muslim. The stories of Rosa, Nina and Khadija intertwine, revealing not only strategies of belonging, as well as with the others, even in situations anything.

During World War II, the family Dohan/Sprung fleeing from the Nazi persecution of Jews in the former Yugoslavia was detained by the Italian army and taken to Italy. Held initially in a small village in the north of the country where their life often mingled with the peasants of the region, they were taken later to the concentration camp of Ferramonti in the south. When it was liberated by the American soldiers, they went to Sicily and finally to Rome, where they could live in freedom. Some years later, the family immigrated to Brazil. The report of this journey through the eyes of one of the daughters is the focus of this article.

Cuando construye su quinta novela, Clarice Lispector parte de una matriz bíblica para estructurar su texto. Un paso en la dirección opuesta a la prevista por la Sagrada Escritura. En este cambio, lo lleva el lector a cruzar un desierto con G. H.

We will discuss in this article two opposite and complementary myths: the filicida and the mother of the Virgin-Mother, from observation of the primacy of rewritten reclaimers of the myth of Medea in Brazilian literature and popular and literary taste by the biblical myth of the Virgin-Mother. Paradoxes in itself, both in the masculine world show myths, the absurdity of American female, namely, figure that that generates and kills and one that generates nothing in order to generate a short circuit. The Virgin-mother is "Lady of these people so suffered small and Patron/oppressed". Medea, as mother, see the nuisance that are the children and eliminates them from its trajectory. In both approaches, the two protagonists appear in the imaginary mythical dressed in glorious sunshine to brighten, whiten, cause the lucidity and, at the same time, obfuscate and blind. Will be observed the Medea, by Euripides, and the Mayombe, A pequenina América e sua avó $ifrada de escrúpulos. Also we will make brief forays into Uma mulher vestida de Sol, by Ariano Suassuna, and the book of Revelations.

By a strange compulsion, many authors worked their own historical recreations–from Philip K. Dick to Philip Roth–recreating the history from the Second World War point, sometimes putting Hitler as the big winner, sometimes shifting elements in the framework of the events of the period. In this sense, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, by Michael Chabon, is a complex piece which retraces the path of obsessive rebuild a different world from the year zero 1939, but putting in the formula Israel and the Holocaust only to resume some formulaic and eventually stigmatizing images.

Word Sonnet, translated Soneto de uma palavra, is a variant of the traditional sonnet form. There are critics that are completely contrary to the title, since they consider the sonnet in its traditional form and the fact of maintaining fourteen lines would ensure the conventional structure than can be originally considered a sonnet. However, in essence, the structure of a poem composed in fourteen lines with a single word in each line shows up as something innovative. It is known that the flow of poetic art does not presuppose obstacles of structure and shape.
