On the app, you can find technical information, photos and prices. To find or discover locations, the user can search by tags (parks, squares, libraries, etc.), by region (zones and neighbourhoods) and by aesthetics (century, architectural style etc.). Local production companies catalog Spcine opened a public call for São Paulo based production companies with international experience to register themselves as interested in coproducing and/or doing production service with international production companies. From the information declared by these local production companies regarding their experience, Spcine has gathered a catalog to make it easier for international production companies to find an ideal partnership in São Paulo. The catalog can be found on the São Paulo Film Commission website. 31 32 The process of obtaining film permits should be mostly handled by the associated Brazilian production company. São Paulo Film Commission is in charge of issuing film permits for filming in streets and in municipal facilities.

    Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo

    Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo by Joshua Daniel Shake A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) in The University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Martin J. Murray, Chair Associate Professor David S. Bieri, Virginia Tech University Assistant Professor Harley F. Etienne Clinical Professor Melvyn Levitsky Associate Professor Eduardo Cesar Leão Marques, University of São Paulo © Joshua Daniel Shake 2016 DEDICATION To my mother, who gave me my love for books, inspired my passion for travel, and always encouraged me to ask questions about the world around me. She may no longer be here with me, but I know I would not be where I am today without her guidance and love and that she continues to provide both. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Over the past four years, I have discovered that completing a Ph.D. is an odd mixture of personal dedication, determination, and desire, along with making sure you have the right people around you to provide guidance, help, and support along the way. While in the limited space here I cannot give due credit to all of those that contributed in some form to this endeavor, I do want to call attention to a few very important individuals without whom I would not have completed this undertaking. My first and largest thank you goes to my committee members: Martin Murray, Eduardo Marques, Harley Etienne, David Bieri, and Melvyn Levitsky. Their feedback and advice on research, academic, and non-academic issues will always be valued.

    O Imaginêrio De Antonio Carlos Jobim

    O IMAGINÁRIO DE ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM: REPRESENTAÇÕES E DISCURSOS Patrícia Helena Fuentes Lima A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Portuguese). Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Advisor: Monica Rector Reader: Teresa Chapa Reader: John Chasteen Reader: Fred Clark Reader: Richard Vernon © 2008 Patrícia Helena Fuentes Lima ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PATRÍCIA HELENA FUENTES LIMA: Antonio Carlos Jobim: representações e discursos (Under the direction of Monica Rector) My aim with the present work is to describe the personal and creative trajectory of this artist that became known to his audience and people as a hero in the mythological sense—an individual that constructs a series of victories and defeats that continues until death, after which he is glorified by his community. Therefore, I approach the narratives that made him famous: the ones produced by the print press as well as those texts that negotiate meaning, memory, domain and identity created by his fans. I will place special emphasis on the fact that his public produced a definitive narrative about his figure, an account imbued with devotion, familiarity and creativity following his death. More specifically, I identify intertwined relations between the Brazilian audience and the media involved with creating the image of Antonio Carlos Jobim. My hypothesis is that Antonio Carlos Jobim’s image was exhaustively associated with the Brazilian musical movement Bossa Nova for ideological reasons. Specially, during a particular moment in Brazilian history—the Juscelino Kubitschek’s years (1955-1961).

  • Preparing for the Conference | São Paulo Q&A

    Preparing for the Conference | São Paulo Q&A

    PREPARING FOR THE CONFERENCE | SÃO PAULO Q&A Can you give me information about the Conference Airports & Taxis? There are two airports attendees can take when coming to the conference: GRU (São Paulo/Guarulhos) and CGH (São Paulo/Congonhas). Taxi and UBER services are available at each airport. Guarucoop Taxi from GRU is safe and reliable. Taxi stands are outdoors just outside both terminal 2 and 3 - look for the blue and white signs and taxis. Remember to pay in advance to the location. The UBER app also works in São Paulo. Do I need a VISA to enter Brazil? Most visitors coming to Brazil can enter as tourists for a specific number of days and do not need to pay for a visa. Visitors must hold a valid passport for at least 6 months with one blank page, as well as hold a return ticket showing a date leaving the country. Be sure to check visa requirements for specific country visa requirements. How can I exchange money? There are money exchange kiosks inside the airport near the baggage claim area at both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 at GRU. Also, many cash machines will dispense in Brazilian Reals using an ATM card. Attendees should make sure to alert banks before traveling. What is the weather going to be like AND what should I wear? March is the warm and rainy season in São Paulo! The weather may be humid, so plan accordingly and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the conference. Temperatures will fluctuate between outdoor and indoor locations, so bringing a light sweater for air-conditioned spaces is recommended.

  • Architekturperlen in São Paulo

    Architekturperlen in São Paulo

    ARCHITEKTURPERLEN IN SÃO PAULO MARTINA METTNER Ganz schön anzusehen sind einige Art-Deco-Gebäude respektive Banken. In einer kann man die alte Schalterhalle besichtigen. Die könnte identisch in Wien sein. Ansonsten wenig Glamour. Viele Menschen leben auf der Sraße, man sieht die Armut, wo man geht und steht. Auf der Rua 25 Marco werden Glimmer und Glitzer im großen Stil verkauft. Es gibt alles mit Strass: Flipflops, Haarreifen, Diademe, Haarspangen, Ringe und alles an Schmuck, was man sich denken kann. Alles ist sehr bunt, sehr laut und und sehr voll. Aber auch faszinierend glitzerig. (Und wie ich retrospektiv feststellen konnte, kommt es in Europa erst Monate später und zu dras- tisch höheren Preisen auf den Markt.) Wir schaffen in São Paulo nicht einmal die Hälfte von dem, was uns interessieren würde. Die Architektur, die vielen Museen, die unterschiedlichen Stadtviertel – man kann das zeitlich wie körperlich gar nicht bewältigen. Heute waren wir acht Stunden bei 28 Grad, bedecktem Himmel und extrem hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit unterwegs. Da ist man abends platt. An der Paulista wollten wir ins Kunstmuseum gehen. Der berühmte Bau ist von Lina Bo Bardi. Auf Fotos sieht er ganz spektakulär aus, in der Realität Anfang 2016 jedoch nicht. Die roten Trä- gersäulen sind gerade umkleidet und daher fehlt das optisch signifikante Merkmal. Dienstags ist der Eintritt frei, daher war die Schlange vor dem Kassenschalter ewig lang und wir haben verzich- tet. Beweisfoto unten. Stattdessen besuchten wir den Park „Trianon“ nahebei. Nur um Oscar Niemeyer geht es im Reisebooklet „Kurven im Raum“. REISEBERICHT: ALTER GLANZ UND NEUER GLITZER Ein „Geheimtipp“ für das Zentrum: Das Dach des Martinelli Building.
