Böcker av Antônio Risério

Encontros (Meetings) is the largest and most prestigious book collection of interviews with Brazilian artists and thinkers. With more than 50 published titles, Encontros provides a broad panorama of Brazil's cultural and intellectual wealth. In Antônio Risério's thought we find an unusual combination of scholarly rigor, semiotic passion, and militant engagement in the historical real. Born in 1953, his trajectory reveals, since his first book, a fundamental commitment: to dismantle the verbal and conceptual automatisms that cloud the understanding and invention of Brazilian reality. What the reader will find in the interviews in this book is nothing less than a thinker, in the strict sense of the word.
