Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture
Orientalist discourses in Brazilian culture are an expression of anxieties about the re-structuring of time and space in the network age. The book examines engagements with Japanese postmodern culture in Brazil, which emerge in relation to the history of Japanese immigration and through a series of European and North American discursive mediations.
Made in Brazil
Made in Brazil: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive and thorough introduction to the history, sociology, and musicology of twentieth-century Brazilian popular music. The volume consists of essays by scholars of Brazilian music, and covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of pop music in Brazil.

Japanese Brazilian Saudades
Japanese Brazilian Saudades explores the self-definition of Nikkei discourse in Portuguese-language cultural production by Brazilian authors of Japanese ancestry. Ignacio López-Calvo uses books and films by twentieth-century Nikkei authors as case studies to redefine the ideas of Brazilianness and Japaneseness from both a national and a transnational perspective. The result suggests an alternative model of postcoloniality, particularly as it pertains to the post–World War II experience of Nikkei people in Brazil. López-Calvo addresses the complex creation of Japanese Brazilian identities and the history of immigration, showing how the community has used writing as a form of reconciliatio...

Amazônia
O último relatório do Programa de Monitoramento da Amazônia por Satélite (Prodes), desenvolvido no Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe), mostrou que o desmatamento na região, entre 2003 e 2004, foi de 26.130 km2, área que corresponde à do Estado de Alagoas. O número é uma projeção feita a partir de 103 imagens de satélite, cobrindo 93% da área onde se concentra a derrubada da floresta, na região do chamado Arco do Desflorestamento. Os Estados que mais desmataram a Amazônia brasileira foram Mato Grosso e Rondônia. Em outras regiões, porém, houve redução nas taxas de desflorestamento, como no Pará, onde o desmatamento diminuiu em 2%, no Amazonas, em 38%, no Acr...
Terremotos
A crosta terrestre é formada, principalmente, por sete grandes placas tectônicas: a sul-americana, a norte-americana, a africana, a australiana, a antártica, a eurasiana e a pacífica. Há, ainda, dezenas de subplacas, entre as quais a indiana e a arábica se destacam. E é o movimento (choque e acomodação) dessas placas ou as erupções vulcânicas que causam os famosos terremotos, capazes de destruir cidades inteiras, como o que ocorreu em Kobe, no Japão, em 1995, e o Grande Terremoto de Kanto que matou mais de 100 mil pessoas, em setembro de 1923, no mesmo país. Nesta edição de Conhecer Fantástico, você vai ficar por dentro de tudo o que precisa saber sobre abalos sísmicos. Pa...
