Independent publishing · Belo Horizonte

From research
to the page.

Books, research, images and public history meet here as stages of the same practice: turning questions into forms that can circulate.

What crosses the table

Fóscolo does not begin with the appearance of a book. It begins with the material, the question and the kind of reading each project requires.

Historical research

Archives, oral history, health, science and institutions provide problems, vocabularies and limits for the writing.

Author-led editing

Sequence, cutting, image, paper, rhythm and paratext are treated as reading decisions — not as later decoration.

Public history

Experience in teaching and cultural mediation helps shape clarity, access and circulation beyond the university.

The founder’s work in museums, teaching and public history belongs to the institutions where it is carried out; it appears here only as experience that informs Fóscolo’s editorial method.

Three paths, three stages

Not everything needs to be at the same stage to belong to a catalogue. What matters is making clear what can already be read, what is being prepared and what remains an editorial conversation.

Published

Notes on Care, Risk & Knowledge

Historical research, fragments, poems and photographs transformed into a first publication available to read and buy.

In circulation

Journal & Repertoire

Reflections, readings and editorial decisions that leave the speed of social media and become permanent pages to return to.

Explore the book

Working in public does not mean publishing everything.

Unpublished originals, full manuscript versions and research materials still under submission stay off the website. What appears here are questions, formal decisions, contexts and materials already intended for public circulation.
