Beschreibungen

<p>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 <i>retomada</i>, 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.</p>

“The organization of this book constitutes a sophisticated understanding of the principles of film as significant cultural production in contemporary Brazil and very much a privileged domain of contemporary Brazilian art. It provides a comprehensive multi-authored volume of essays contemporary Brazilian filmmaking, focused on the point of view of space and subjectivity.
