Sommario/riassunto |

The collapse of the Iron Curtain, the renationalization of eastern Europe, and the simultaneous eastward expansion of the European Union have all impacted the way the past is remembered in today's eastern Europe. At the same time, in recent years, the Europeanization of Holocaust memory and a growing sense of the need to stage a more "self-critical" memory has significantly changed the way in which western Europe commemorates and memorializes the past. The increasing dissatisfaction among scholars with the blanket, undifferentiated use of the term "collective memory" is evolving in new direct |

Sommario/riassunto |

“Sophia Beal leads readers through the complex debates on Brasília, which enrich and inform her sensitive and wonderfully inspired readings of art. The city we find here—though certainly not a modernist utopia—is, like the book itself, anything but unsurprising—a reminder that in the history of urban planning, the unintended happens often. Impressively-researched, fresh, and captivating, this book is a brilliant achievement and will appeal to experts and first-time travelers alike.” --Bruno Carvalho, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University “This book is an exemplary piece of research, and singular in that Brasília’s cultural production has not previously been systematically examined. Beal’s study is notable for paying close attention to the importance of popular culture in providing trenchant sociocultural assessments. Her secure grasp of the scope of her material and the quality of her analyses confirm her emerging stature as a majorvoice in contemporary Brazilian cultural studies.” --David William Foster, Regents’ Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Arizona State University People from outside of Brasília often dismiss Brazil’s capital as a cultural wasteland. However, as The Art of Brasília argues, that reputation is outdated. Brasília’s contemporary artists are transforming how people think about the city and how they use its public spaces. These twenty-first-century artists are recasting Brasília as a vibrant city of the arts in which cultural production affirms the creative right to the city of marginalized populations. Brasília’s initial 1960s art was state-sanctioned, carried out mainly by privileged, white men. In contrast, the capital’s contemporary art is marked by its diversity, challenging norms about the types of art that can symbolize the city. This book analyzes prose, poetry, film, cultural journalism, music, photography, graffiti, street theater, and street dance that demystify the capital’s inequities and imagine alternative ways of inhabiting the city. Sophia Beal is Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Brazil under Construction: Fiction and Public Works. . |
