Book Synopsis Becoming Brazilians by : Marshall C. Eakin
Download or read book Becoming Brazilians written by Marshall C. Eakin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the rise and decline of Gilberto Freyre's vision of racial and cultural mixture (mestiçagem - or race mixing) as the defining feature of Brazilian culture in the twentieth century. Eakin traces how mestiçagem moved from a conversation among a small group of intellectuals to become the dominant feature of Brazilian national identity, demonstrating how diverse Brazilians embraced mestiçagem, via popular music, film and television, literature, soccer, and protest movements. The Freyrean vision of the unity of Brazilians built on mestiçagem begins a gradual decline in the 1980s with the emergence of an identity politics stressing racial differences and multiculturalism. The book combines intellectual history, sociological and anthropological field work, political science, and cultural studies for a wide-ranging analysis of how Brazilians - across social classes - became Brazilians.

Download or read book Cannibal Democracy written by Zita Nunes and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zita Nunes argues that the prevailing narratives of identity formation throughout the Americas share a dependence on metaphors of incorporation and, often, of cannibalism. From the position of the incorporating body, the construction of a national and racial identity through a process of assimilation presupposes a remainder, a residue. Nunes addresses works by writers and artists who explore what is left behind in the formation of national identities and speak to the limits of the contemporary discourse of democracy. Cannibal Democracy tracks its central metaphor’s circulation through the work of writers such as Mrio de Andrade, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Toni Morrison and journalists of the black press, as well as work by visual artists including Magdalena Campos-Pons and Keith Piper, and reveals how exclusion-understood in terms of what is left out-can be fruitfully understood in terms of what is left over from a process of unification or incorporation. Nunes shows that while this remainder can be deferred into the future-lurking as a threat to the desired stability of the present-the residue haunts discourses of national unity, undermining the ideologies of democracy that claim to resolve issues of race. Zita Nunes is associate professor of English at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Book Synopsis Space and Subjectivity in Contemporary Brazilian Cinema by : Antônio Márcio da Silva
Download or read book Space and Subjectivity in Contemporary Brazilian Cinema written by Antônio Márcio da Silva and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the emergence of new spatialities and subjectivities in Brazilian films produced from the 1990s onwards, a period that became known as the retomada, but especially in the cinema of the new millennium. The chapters take spatiality as a powerful tool that can reveal aesthetic, political, social, and historical meanings of the cinematographic image instead of considering space as just a formal element of a film. From the rich cross-fertilization of different theories and disciplines, this edited collection engages with the connection between space and subjectivity in Brazilian cinema while raising new questions concerning spatiality and subjectivity in cinema and providing new models and tools for film analysis.

Book Synopsis Modernity in Black and White by : Rafael Cardoso
Download or read book Modernity in Black and White written by Rafael Cardoso and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity in Black and White provides a groundbreaking account of modern art and modernism in Brazil. Departing from previous accounts, mostly restricted to the elite arenas of literature, fine art and architecture, the book situates cultural debates within the wider currents of Brazilian life. From the rise of the first favelas, in the 1890s and 1900s, to the creation of samba and modern carnival, over the 1910s and 1920s, and tracking the expansion of mass media and graphic design, into the 1930s and 1940s, it foregrounds aspects of urban popular culture that have been systematically overlooked. Against this backdrop, Cardoso provides a radical re-reading of Antropofagia and other modernist currents, locating them within a broader field of cultural modernization. Combining extensive research with close readings of a range of visual cultural production, the volume brings to light a vast archive of art and images, all but unknown outside Brazil.

Book Synopsis The English in Brazil by : Gilberto Freyre
Download or read book The English in Brazil written by Gilberto Freyre and published by Boulevard Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British influence on nineteenth-century Brazil was so prevalent it gave rise to the complaint that it was 'Londonising our land'. Previously isolated by the Portuguese to control the colony's riches, everything changed with Napoleon's invasion of Portugal in 1807 -- King Dom João fled to Brazil and opened its ports to the 'friendly nations' with Britain the chief beneficiary. Gilberto Freyre studies the 'gentle, velvet revolution' produced by a multitude of British manufactures, ideas and habits invading the country, from trams, gas lamps, railways, sewers and glass windows, to beer, hats, bread, butter, afternoon tea, the use of knives and forks and the habit of daily shaving. This pioneering piece of research takes the premise that eminent personages and great events only tell one side of the story, and that to see the influences of one culture on another demands a study of more shadowy characters and 'significant details'. Mechanics, firemen, engineers, sailors, traders and other 'Cinderellas of history' here reveal the less grandiose but more human aspects of cultural influence. Working along lines advocated decades later by historians like Carlo Ginzburg and Natalie Davis, Freyre makes the point that apparently minor, irrelevant facts of daily life in the home, in workshops, on the railways and in newspaper advertisements can be an excellent way to access a culture's past. The book is written in Freyre's extremely personal, unorthodox style vivid, sensuous yet colloquial -- which established him as one of the masters of twentieth-century Portuguese prose.
