The next guest on the program Letters Trail is the philosopher, educator and writer Renato Noguera. In an interview with presenter Eliana Alves Cruz, which will be shown this Wednesday (20), at 11pm, on TV BrasilRenato shares his works that investigate why we love or what grief is. The guest discusses cultural differences in the conception of love in the West and talks about the social construction of affection.
“We are much more feeling machines than thinking machines. Because our thinking is always interspersed with affections, emotions. Thought itself is an affective act.” states. For him, when people are not fed enough with love, the way to react to frustrations is, ultimately, violence.
The author of the book Why do we love? talks about grief and the different types of losses in the lives of human beings, including aging. “In a culture of hatred for youth, of continuous praise for youth, people are ashamed of aging,” he says. The author also highlights the importance of talking about losses and not just gains.

Giving the Lyrics
In the section Dando a Letra, Lorena Ribeiro (@passosentrelinhas) recommends the book Menina de Fogo, by Taylane Cruz. “This is undoubtedly a read to read with an open heart, with a tissue at your side, knowing that perhaps you will finish the book understanding that beautiful things make the pain in the world worth it”, he suggests.
