published by casa da palavra, the book aesthetics of swing: the architecture of favelas through the work of hélio oiticica (estética da ginga: a arquitetura das favelas através da obra de hélio oiticica), by paola berestein jacques is a highly astute and incisive work mapping three spheres of development and transition - the artistic, architectural and socio-cultural.  

highly inter-disciplinary in nature, it interweaves concepts and discourse related to art, architecture and philosophy.
