Hucitec Editora

Hucitec Editora is a Brazilian publishing house founded in 1971 by Artur Neves, Flávio George Aderaldo, Adalgisa Pereira da Silva, Hanna Augusta Rothschild and Francisco Fábio Aderaldo, book professionals supported by a group of social and experimental scientists. Its stated aim was, and continues to be, to publish Brazilian authors writing about Brazilian reality as well as foreign authors fundamental to Brazilian formation, at a time when translations predominated in the book market. The name Hucitec was created by Maurício Rocha e Silva, full professor of Pharmacology at the University of São Paulo, as an abbreviation of Humanismo, Ciência e Tecnologia (Humanism, Science and Technology). The publisher's editorial line seeks to foster debate on Brazilian society and culture and to make fundamental foreign works available to readers; more than eighty percent of the books it launched over forty years are by national authors, while it has also published major foreign authors such as Mikhail Bakhtin, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, John Cage, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, François Rabelais, and Greek and Latin authors. Its website states it has been publishing humanities, science and technology for 54 years.
