We might well ask if this phenomenon of marking and branding actually "transfers" from one generation to another…? —Hortense J. Spillers, "Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe" And all of those associations to the internalized world of human sexuality are now projected onto the sexuality of the Other. —Sander L. Gilman, Difference and Pathology: Stereotypes of Sexuality, Race, and Madness In his seminal text Casa-Grande & Senzala, Gilberto Freyre foregrounds one of the most detailed and contemporaneous genealogies to date of the development of race relations in Brazil. Freyre’s text articulates how the evolution of race in Brazil was tantamount to the evolution of national identity and the enunciation of what has now come to be known as the myth of racial democracy. Although Freyre most certainly is not the founder of this concept, however, he unquestionably is credited for its popularization and eventual internationalization. At the core of Freyre’s conceptualization of the myth of racial democracy, is that Brazil was founded and fashioned upon miscegenation, or race mixture; as such, this mixture of blood and origins was positioned as a disavowal of racial discrimination, racial prejudice and a testimony to harmonious race relations. Time and research however, have rendered another account, exposing the reality of the insidious racial inequality that has permeated the core of Brazilian history and social structure. Historian Thomas E. Skidmore's Black into White, a revisionist study of Brazilian race relations, 1 argues that the predominantly white elite within Brazilian society promoted racial democracy to obscure very real forms of racial oppression.1 Political scientist Michael Hanchard, equally has contended that the ideology of racial democracy, often promoted by state apparatuses, prevents effective action to combat racial discrimination by leading people to ascribe discrimination to other forms of oppression and allowing government officials charged with preventing racism to deny its existence a priori. 2 Yet the myth of racial democracy prevails as the most perdurable myth that has defined Brazil as a nation. My interest in this myth abides not entirely in its seeming perdurability but, rather its tenacious nexus, or collision between the practice or act of interracial sex and the imperatives of nation building. I am intrigued by where within the nation building project sexual coercion become romanticized and concomitantly mythologized into what Boaventura de Sousa Santos in his critical essay “Between Próspero e Caliban” has sardonically called a “harmonious reciprocal elision.” The fruit of this union, he informs us—the mulatto “contributed to against their will and own interests to legitimize racial and social inequality. To deracialize social relations, permitted colonialism and Brazilian politics to uncloak blame and to effectively produce social inequality” (Santos 20).3 Gerald Bender in his analysis of racial democracy and lusotropicalist rhetoric equally informs us that: 1 Skidmore, Thomas E.

Consequently, he immediately entered “into cordial relations” with non-European populations he met in the tropics. The ultimate proof of the absence of racism among the Portuguese, however, is found in Brazil, whose large and socially prominent mestiço population is living testimony to the freedom of social

He'd dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when he awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit. "He was always dreaming about trees," Placida Linero, his mother, told me twenty-seven years later, recalling the details of that distressing Monday. "The week before, he'd dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything," she said to me.

I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2.

For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3.

  • Os Festivais Da Canção Enquanto Eventos Midiáticos: Brasil E Portugal
    OS FESTIVAIS DA CANÇÃO ENQUANTO EVENTOS MIDIÁTICOS: BRASIL E PORTUGAL. José Fernando Saroba Monteiro Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro [email protected] Os festivais da canção, tal como os conhecemos hoje, surgem ainda na década de 1950, com o precursor Festival de San Remo (Festival della Canzone Italiana), inaugurando o formato festival que logo foi copiado por países no mundo todo, dando origem a uma infinidade de festivais nacionais, e outros tantos, fazendo competir diferentes países e, por vezes, de diferentes continentes. Dentre os mais conhecidos festivais estão: o Festival Eurovisão da Canção, surgido em 1956, na esteira do festival italiano, e o primeiro a fazer competir países entre si; o Festival Intervisão, tendo a mesma concepção do Festival Eurovisão, mas direcionado para os países do bloco soviético; o Festival OTI, voltado para os países iberoamericanos; e poderíamos assinalar uma infinidade de outros festivais nacionais, muitos deles responsáveis pela escolha de uma canção representante no Festival Eurovisão (quando se tratando do quadro europeu), como é o caso do Festival RTP da Canção, iniciado em 1964 em Portugal, justamente para escolher sua representante no eurofestival, mas muitos outros atingindo certa autonomia e reconhecimento inclusive internacionalmente, como o Festival Yamaha, realizado em Tóquio, reunindo artistas de inúmeros países, o Festival de Atenas, de caráter multicultural, o Festival de Sopot, e, dentre outros, o Festival Internacional da Canção do Rio de Janeiro, dividido em duas fases, uma nacional e outra internacional, nesta segunda, notadamente, os vencedores nacionais competiam com canções representantes de países de todo o mundo. Surgidos a partir da década de 1950, os festivais da canção puderam contar com o inovador recurso da imagem, possibilitado pelo advento da televisão, que se desenvolvia e se propagava justamente nesta mesma década.
