O tijolo comunista

UM PERFIL DE PAULO FREIRE


Paulo Freire dizia que era alérgico a regimes totalitários. Se definia antes como um cristão e humanista - e não como um comunista. Mas há controvérsias.

The History Manifesto

Leading historians David Armitage and Jo Guldi identify a recent shift back to longer-term narratives, following many decades of increasing specialization, which they argue is vital for the future of historical scholarship and how it is communicated.

This provocative and thoughtful book makes an important intervention in the debate about the role of history and the humanities in a digital age. It will provoke discussion among policymakers, activists and entrepreneurs as well as ordinary listeners, viewers, readers, students and teachers.

O Reino Desunido de Boris Johnson

Seria bom se a direita fosse direita; se o centro fosse centro; se a esquerda fosse esquerda; e que os extremismos fossem apenas pontos fora da curva, e não representantes da maioria.

Something to remember about jukeboxes:
When Homer Capehart invented and sold his record changer mechanism to the Wurlitzer Company, in 1933, it was a great revolution in music listening habits. The mechanism was adapted by Wurlitzer to produce what would be known as  jukeboxes.
When jukeboxes entered the scene, big bands and swing jazz music were in the top hits. Jukeboxes became common in bars, ballrooms, ice cream parlors, barbershops, restaurants, and drugstores.
At first, the great record companies worried that jukeboxes would provoke a decline in record sales, but just the opposite happened.
The intention of this jukebox is to show some kind of music that many people simply don't know.
Once big bands, jazz orchestras and jazz vocalists were everywhere.
Here they ride again.
Thank you for listening.
