A Place in Politics
A Place in Politics is a thorough reinterpretation of the politics and political culture of the Brazilian state of São Paulo between the 1890s and the 1930s.

The film industry thus occupied a crucial site of conflict and reconciliation between aesthetics and politics.

Stefan Kutzenberger zeigt jedoch, dass die europäische Tradition diesem brasilianischen Nationalepos nicht nur einzelne Themen und Motive wie Pakt und Teufel liefert, sondern dass auch die christliche Weltsicht Riobaldos aus Europa stammt und dort vor allem aus der religiösen Philosophie Søren Kierkegaards. An Hand dessen Theorie der Wiederholung soll Riobaldos ewige Frage nach seiner Schuld endlich beantwortet werden. Eine kurze Geschichte der R...
