Description
Brazilian cinema has gained significant international attention in recent years, with films such as Central Station and City of God receiving critical acclaim. This book provides a detailed analysis of Brazilian films released between 1995 and 2010, focusing on issues of race, ethnicity, and national identity.
Through an examination of contemporary fiction and documentary films, Tatiana Signorelli Heise explores the concept of the nation as an "imagined community" and how dominant ideas about brasilidade are dramatized, supported, or challenged in these films. This study fills a gap in academic research on the representation of ethnicity and national identity in Brazilian cinema.
By considering the ways in which national consciousness is portrayed and contested in contemporary Brazilian film, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding identity and nationhood in Brazil today.
