O termo "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria"; "disforia de género repentina", foi proposto pela doutora Lisa Littman em 2018. A sua investigação refletiu dois dados importantes: por um lado, várias jovens

o dia de folga do investigador Bartolomeu Franco, tres crianças so encontradas mortas em um galpo abandonado no residencial Milton Friedman, em Cataguases. Os corpos esto maquiados, com as mos postas, segurando flores de lantana e aneis com a inscriço "Ad immortalitatem". A investigaço leva Bartolomeu e seu parceiro, Cenoura, a um labirinto de corrupço, segredos do passado e um fanatico religioso obcecado por um decimo primeiro mandamento. Enquanto lida com a decadencia mental do pai e um caso no resolvido do delegado Medeiros, Bartolomeu descobre que o inferno no e lugar para o acaso e que a imortalidade pode ser uma sentença.A cidade e Cataguases, o tempo e o de hoje, o calor, insuportavel tanto das ruas quanto dos acontecimentos. Tres meninos so encontrados mortos em um galpo abandonado numa das regies mais endinheiradas da cidade, em uma cena do crime montada de forma meticulosa e teatral, com laivos religiosos. Na investigaço que se segue, acompanhamos a historia do principal investigador da operaço, Bartolomeu Franco. O que se destaca neste romance, cuja trama mescla especulaço imobiliaria com interesses politicos e corrupço policial, e o aspecto humano. Ainda que as avessas. No espere manifestaçes de heroismo, esperança na natureza humana ou belas redençes. O clima aqui e ainda mais arido que o de Cataguases.Bartolomeu se lança de forma obstinada a decifrar o crime. Teima em nadar contra a corrente de uma regio onde desde sempre quem da as cartas e o dinheiro, quando seria muito mais conveniente para ele ceder ao modus operandis do seu meio. A historia aos poucos nos leva ao fundo dessa obsesso por justiça, algo que sua falecida me pressagiara desde a infancia como a ruina do filho. O pressagio se concretiza: abraçar a carreira de policial chega como caminho inevitavel para ele, mas deflagra a furia do pai. A tragedia pessoal do pai de Bartolomeu com a policia mais um exemplo da desigualdade do tratamento dado aos corpos perifericos no cala a vocaço do filho nem seu senso de justiça, que o impulsionam como uma maldiço pessoal. Acompanhamos Bartolomeu enquanto essas forças cavam buracos fundos quase intransponiveis: o afastam da irm, o alienam do pai, que ele deposita em um asilo, e o deixam despreparado para qualquer encontro amoroso profundo. Tudo ocorre em silencio, como o proprio crime que ele investiga: cadaveres que deveriam gerar escandalo na cidade, mas que ninguem reclama. E o que esta no centro do romance so justamente historias no reivindicadas, que, parafraseando um dos personagens, passam a feder como carniça. Parecem enterradas, entregues a decomposiço definitiva, e nunca o so. Mesclando humor e peso, Vinicius Ferreira constroi com habilidade situaçes paralelas entre um enredo de suspense bem realizado e o drama de pessoas levadas ao desmoronamento no tanto por circunstancias externas, mas por pulses internas bem mais sombrias. Se a historia do homem triste e velha, como conclui outra de suas personagens, ainda assim no cansamos de querer ouvi-la.Ana Carol Mesquita

This volume, which is the result of an international conference with participants from the universities of Bochum and Tel Aviv in 2023, brings together twelve contributions that examine prayer in Judaism and Christianity as a place of religious identity construction. In addition to fundamental philosophical and theological questions about the counterpart of prayer and explanations of spiritual practice in intercultural contexts, literary strategies of prayer in the Hebrew Bible and in the texts of Qumran are analyzed. Other contributions explore the Jewish roots of Christian prayer traditions and point to current forms and functions of prayer in Jewish and Christian educational contexts and in the religious poetry of Shalom Ben-Chorin. The interdisciplinary analyses open up new perspectives on prayer as an expression of religious self-identity.[Das Gebet in judischer und christlicher Tradition. Identitat, Praxis und interkulturelle Kontakte] Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine internationale Konferenz mit Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern der Universitaten Bochum und Tel Aviv im Jahre 2023 zuruckgeht, versammelt zwolf Beitrage, die das Gebet im Judentum und Christentum als Ort religioser Identitatskonstruktion beleuchten. Neben grundlegenden philosophisch-theologischen Fragen zum Gegenuber des Gebets und Ausfuhrungen zu spiritueller Praxis in interkulturellen Kontexten werden literarische Strategien des Betens in der Hebraischen Bibel und in den Texten von Qumran analysiert. Weitere Beitrage fragen nach den judischen Wurzeln christlicher Gebetstraditionen und verweisen auf aktuelle Formen und Funktionen des Gebets in judischen und christlichen Bildungskontexten und in der religiosen Dichtung Schalom Ben-Chorins. Die interdisziplinaren Analysen eroffnen neue Perspektiven auf das Gebet als Ausdruck religioser Selbstverortung.

Silence is not empty.It is selective.In The Silent Lesson, the trials deepen. Sound is stripped away, commands are no longer spoken, and obedience is measured not by reactionbut by restraint. As Mara moves through chambers built to listen, erase, and compare, sheuders confrontation emerges: not only with the Sovereigns system, but with another initiate whose mastery of silence has always come at a cost.Here, power is no longer instruction.It is calibration.Through mirrored breath, competing stillness, and the quiet cruelty of comparison, Mara learns that obedience can bind two bodies at oncebut only one can endure without breaking. What marks her is not punishment, but recognition.The Silent Lesson is a slow, ritual-driven erotic novella focused on internalized control, consent through structure, and the moment silence stops being absence and becomes identity.For readers of psychological BDSM, ritualized power exchange, and erotic fiction where restraint carries more weight than force.

Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, love and healing: a constellation of friendships and love as she moves through upheaval, transformation and change.The collection offers glimpses into the journeys of a migrant, a daughter, and a mother; with the passage of years, the poems ask what it might mean to move like light itself, beyond expectations and into new ways of understanding ourselves more profoundly. With sublime precision, Jennifer Wongs poetry brings clarity to the spaces between the stars the time difference between memories and place, between our loved ones, and everything we hold dear in life.A Poetry Book Society Recommendation

A collection to inspire discussions, debate and embolden the difficulties faced by women in the healthcare system.This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales and beyond, who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.It is an act of testimony, a call to awareness, and, in many ways, a rallying cry. Dr Helen Munro, Clinical Lead Womens Health Network in WalesI hope that any woman reading this will find comfort in these pages. You may be unwell. The future may be uncertain. But you are not alone and do not have to endure pain by yourself. Hanan Issa, National Poet of WalesAll the poets in this book have, in some way found the creative resources to respond to the surreal world of illness in poems that show insight, generosity and a joy that defy the downward pull of being constantly ill at ease. This is a significant human achievement.
