Sinossi

Forest Films Guard explores how the Kayapo people of the Brazilian Amazon are using film and television to protect their ancestral lands. Facing threats like deforestation and illegal mining, they've transitioned from being subjects of documentaries to becoming active media producers. This shift empowers them to document environmental crimes, assert indigenous sovereignty, and challenge external narratives.

 
The book highlights the Kayapo's participatory environmental monitoring efforts, where they gather evidence of illegal activities and share it with the world. Their strategic use of media serves as a powerful form of resistance, raising awareness and pressuring authorities to uphold environmental regulations. By controlling their own representation, the Kayapo are challenging the conventional portrayal of indigenous communities.

 
The book progresses by introducing the Kayapo, detailing the rise of indigenous media in Brazil, and presenting case studies of Kayapo-made films influencing policy decisions. It emphasizes the potential and limitations of indigenous media as a tool for environmental and cultural preservation, offering valuable lessons for other communities facing similar challenges.

The Rolling Stones' Some Girls

Cyrus R.K. Patell

It’s October 1977, and the Rolling Stones are in a Paris recording studio. They’re under siege. Keith Richards’s legal troubles after his arrest for heroin possession threaten the band’s future, and the broad consensus among rock aficionados is that the band will never again reach the heights of Exile on Main Street.But Mick Jagger is writing lyrics inspired by the year he has just spent in New York City, where he was hanging out with the punks at CBGB and with the glitterati at Studio 54. And new bandmember Ron Wood is helping Richards recapture the two-guitar groove that the band had been missing since the Brian Jones era. The result? Some Girls, the band’s response both to punk rock and to disco, an album that crackles with all the energy, decadence, and violence of New York in the 1970s. Weaving together the history of the band and the city, Cyrus R. K. Patell traces the genesis and legacy of the album that Jagger would later call the band’s best since Let It Bleed.

No Lasting City - Essays on...

Fritz Bauerschmidt

In No Lasting City, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt collects essays written over a twenty-five-year period that explore the relationship between theology, politics, and culture. Drawing on the Christian theological tradition and engaging thinkers from Augustine and Julian of Norwich to Max Weber and Michel de Certeau, Bauerschmidt sketches a picture of faithful engagement with politics and culture that has robustly Christological contours. The stories of Flannery O’Connor, the paintings of the Flemish Primitives, the curricula of medieval universities, and modern accounts of mystical experience all serve as points by which the path of God’s pilgrim city is charted, as a way both of understanding our past and present and of orienting us toward our hoped-for homeland.
