BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje: Epistemologia do canibalismo (“Cannibals of West Papua”, de Brendan Connell) Obras citadas: “Cannibals of West Papua”, Brendan Connell (Zagava, 2015); “Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History”, Bill Schutt, (Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2018); “Duas Viagens ao Brasil”, Hans Staden (Beca Produções Culturais, 2000). “Revista de Antropofagia”, digitalizada pela Brasiliana da USP: https://digital.bbm.usp.br/handle/bbm/7064 Apoie nossa nova campanha, PRÉ-RAFAELITAS : https://www.catarse.me/pre_rafaelitas Entre para a nossa sociedade, dedicada à bibliofilia maldita e ao culto de tenebrosos grimórios: o RES FICTA (solicitações via http://raphuspress.weebly.com/contact.html).

My special guest is author Bill Schutt, who is here to discuss the history of cannibalism as it naturally occurs in different life forms on the planet. Get his book Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History on Amazon.     “Surprising. Impressive. Cannibalism restores my faith in humanity.” —Sy Montgomery, The New York Times Book Review.   For centuries, scientists have written off cannibalism as a bizarre phenomenon with little biological significance. Its presence in nature was dismissed as a desperate response to starvation or other life-threatening circumstances, and few spent time studying it. A taboo subject in our culture, the behavior was portrayed mostly through horror movies or tabloids sensationalizing the crimes of real-life flesh-eaters. But the true nature of cannibalism--the role it plays in evolution as well as human history--is even more intriguing (and more normal) than the misconceptions we've come to accept as fact.   In Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History, zoologist Bill Schutt sets the record straight, debunking common myths and investigating our new understanding of cannibalism's role in biology, anthropology, and history in the most fascinating account yet written on this complex topic. Schutt takes readers from Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains, where he wades through ponds full of tadpoles devouring their siblings, to the Sierra Nevadas, where he joins researchers who are shedding new light on what happened to the Donner Party--the most infamous episode of cannibalism in American history. He even meets with an expert on the preparation and consumption of human placenta (and, yes, it goes well with Chianti).   Bringing together the latest cutting-edge science, Schutt answers questions such as why some amphibians consume their mother's skin, why certain insects bite the heads of their partners after sex, why, up until the end of the twentieth century, Europeans regularly ate human body parts as medical curatives; and how cannibalism might be linked to the extinction of the Neanderthals. He takes us into the future as well, investigating whether, as climate change causes famine, disease, and overcrowding, we may see more outbreaks of cannibalism in many more species--including our own.   Cannibalism places a perfectly natural occurrence into a vital new context and invites us to explore why it both enthralls and repels us.Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook

To follow that up he wrote “Cannibalism – A Perfectly Natural History” which dealt with…well I think you know what that dealt with. Now he is back with a volume that every living creature can identify with. It's called “Pump – A Natural History of the Heart."
