THE TREATMENT OF THREE CENTRAL LITERARY PROBLEMS BY A NUMBER OF VERY DIVERSE MARXIST CRITICES, DRAWN PREDOMINANTLY FROM THE CLASSIC WORKS OF THE TWENTIES AND THIRTIES IS EXAMINED IN THIS ARTICLE. THE PROBLEMS ARE: 1) THE RELATION OF FORM TO CONTENT, 2) THE RELATION OF LITERATURE TO HISTORY, AND 3) THE RELATION OF AN AUTHOR'S IDEOLOGY TO HIS CREATIVE WORK.

Abstract The article deals with the historical methodology in the field of Brazilian foreign policy, based on reflections on the treatment of primary sources and the lessons of two important historians of antiquity: Moses I.

Without disregarding the inherent temporal differences, it is understood that it is possible to bring contemporary and ancient history closer, as well as to establish a respectful dialogue between them. The article presents a preliminary discussion on the sources for the history of Brazilian foreign policy, followed by a series of analyses and comments on several aspects of the treatment of primary sources: a) the fragmentary nature of sources and the consequences of this; b) the predominance of discursive sources; c) the use of oral history as a supplementary source; and d) the difficulty in establishing a context for document production. Studies related to Brazilian foreign policy towards the Middle East will be used, especially the case of Brazil's controversial favourable vote on Resolution 3379 (XXX) of the United Nations General Assembly, in 1975, which equated Zionism with racism.

The volume opens with three substantial introductory essays by the editors, authorities in their various fields, who provide their explanatory and contextual notes to

Today, anarchism is often dismissed as a poorly-thought-out excuse for mayhem used by miscreants bent on destruction. However, in truth, the concept of anarchism has been explored-and sometimes championed-by many of history's most important political thinkers. This fascinating volume takes a detailed look at this often-misunderstood political philosophy
