  • 264 REVIEWS Beal, Sophia. Brazil Under Construction
    REVIEWS Beal, Sophia. Brazil under Construction: Fiction and Public Works. New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2013. 198 pp. ISBN 978-1-137-3247-0. Sophia Beal’s Introduction situates her line of investigation in the context of “cultural studies, new historicism, and postcolonial studies” (2). She maintains that once the Brazilian Empire (1822-1888) gave way to the Republic, the élite sought a new identity for Brazil, and their building of “connective” public works (e.g. water works, electricity, roads, highways, bridges, dams, and power lines) was an essential part of this effort. Beal considers these endeavors public insofar as they are government sponsored or endorsed and because they were undertaken, purportedly, to benefit the populace. But they “often have had the opposite effect” (3), which much of the literary work she examines points out. Concerning Brazilian literature, Beal accepts Antônio Cândido’s libel that “Latin American writers [before 1925] had copied […] styles […] passé in Europe [… creating much] mediocre literature” (13), which achieved no purchase abroad. She maintains that soccer, bossa nova, concrete poetry, and Brasília have achieved international stardom for Brazil. However, as Beal herself admits, “concrete poetry and Brasília appropriated European traditions” (16). Likewise, soccer and bossa nova are hardly autochthonous. Indeed, bossa nova began as a middle-class melding of 1950s progressive jazz with samba, hence its exportability. Likewise, it was the Brazilian style of and expertise in soccer that achieved international renown. In Chapter 2, “Conquering the Dark: Literature, Lighting, and Public Space in Rio de Janeiro in the Early 1900s,” Beal notes that in the Republic’s early days, its capital, Rio de Janeiro, seemed a pestilent backwater compared to either Montevideo or Buenos Aires.

  • Nationalism, Sovereignty, and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela
    Sowing the State: Nationalism, Sovereignty, and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela by Aaron Kappeler A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Aaron Kappeler 2015 Sowing the State: Nationalism, Sovereignty and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela Aaron Kappeler Doctor of Philosophy Degree Anthropology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Sowing the State is an ethnographic account of the remaking of the Venezuelan nation- state at the start of the twenty-first century, which underscores the centrality of agriculture to the re-envisioning of sovereignty. The narrative explores the recent efforts of the Venezuelan government to transform the rural areas of the nation into a model of agriculture capable of feeding its mostly urban population as well as the logics and rationales for this particular reform project. The dissertation explores the subjects, livelihoods, and discourses conceived as the proper basis of sovereignty as well as the intersection of agrarian politics with statecraft. In a nation heavily dependent on the export of oil and the import of food, the politics of land and its various uses is central to statecraft and the rural becomes a contested field for a variety of social groups. Based on extended fieldwork in El Centro Técnico Productivo Socialista Florentino, a state enterprise in the western plains of Venezuela, the narrative analyses the challenges faced by would-be nation builders after decades of neoliberal policy designed to integrate the nation into the global market as well as the activities of the enterprise directed at ii transcending this legacy.

Conventionalized signs of affluence, models of beauty, "educational" articles on topics ranging from the history and significance of ties ot correct behavior at a first-class estaurr ant filled the pages of magazines intended to provide an accelerated course in etiquette, appearance, and appurtenances for Russia's newly wealthy. The lessons in spending, demeanor, and taste emphasized moneyed visibility.
