The author highlights Mattoso's themes of homosexuality, fetishism,
and symbolic sadomasochism within a context of a comparative examination
of transgressive literature in the Western canon (for example, the
French poete maudit, such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Verlaine) with
particular emphasis on Luso-Brazilian literature from the Middle Ages to
the present.

Essays by leading researchers on the history, natural environment,
society, tourism, & economy that Loreto faces for sustainable
development. The threat of mass tourism is heightened by the specter of
mining that compromise the view shed, pollute the land and water, and
destroy the region as a sustainable tourism destination. Freshwater is
scarce and poorly managed. Climate change will increase sea levels and
cause flooding of urban areas, raise ambient temperatures, and reduce
rain while increasing drought. Adaptive measures can offset these
challenges but require community engagement and improved public admin at
local, state, and federal levels.

The rest of us interpreters of culture might as well lay pens to rest.
Antonio Rafele’s rapid injection in the arm spirals us down through
rabbit holes where we glimpse with penetrating insight projections of
our urban-made psychic selves. As if lucid dreaming, we come to
understand how authors such as Poe, Leopardi, and GarcÃa Márquez offer
pit-stops in our otherwise impossibly fast-forward moving,
Ritalin-induced life filled to the brim with TV, internet, and
videogames. We can reach through this illusion, but choose instead to
buy into the discontinuities of fashion that never quite satiate our
existential emptiness. Not since Baudrillard, Barthes, McLuhan, and the
Wachowski Bros has such a mind come along who can zip open reality to
show with such precision the specular and spectacular nature of our
existence...Dare if you will to step into this daydream.
“In this provocative and pathbreaking book, Rafele shows us how a
mediological approach can radically and productively reframe our
understanding of modernist subjectivity. His lyrical meditations on the
works of Simmel and Benjamin reveal the extent to which 20th century
notions of subjectivity must be understood in relation to 19nth-century
concepts of the metropolis and the technology of photography. If you've
ever wondered what the ‘New’ in New Media Studies might actually look
like, you'll find a compelling example in this brilliantly-conceived and
well-executed study.”
