No. 9 (2012): Dossiê "Forças de opressão e estratégias de resistência na cultura contemporânea"

The dossier "Forces of oppression and strategies of resistance in contemporary culture" was proposed based on two basic perceptions: that mechanisms of control and oppression of capitalism, although not the same as the experiences of the polarized world during the Cold War, still they are present in the globalized society; and that resistance forces are still emphatically manifested in culture and literature. In this sense, the heterogeneity of objects and approaches addressed in the articles that make up this volume attests that those perceptions were correct and that literature (still) constitutes a fertile soil to express the successes and failures of individuals in the world, in addition to allowing listening, in its most varied forms and intentions, of the voices that persist in speaking, contrasting, silencing, elaborating, translating a certain way of feeling, thinking and living their own social and cultural context.
