As prisões e os arquivos prisionais:
O objetivo é conhecer a vida e o destino de alguns dos detentos do Presídio do Serrotão, a partir da documentação que lhes dá sentido. Para tanto, fizemos em um breve histórico sobre as reformas carcerárias para o interior do nordeste, contida nas três formas de prisões modernas existentes no Brasil: a Casa de Correção, a Casa de Detenção e as Colônias Agrícolas. Delas, as mais antigas, as Casas de Correção, foram projetadas como monumentos das capitais da República, com estrutura Panóptica e sistema Auburn de funcionamento. Dentro delas, mais que os estudos antropométricos para o entendimento do crime e da criminalidade, acabaram reforçando os traços patriarcais e esc...
The Defence of Tradition in Brazilian Popular Music
Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...
The Mystery of Samba
Samba is Brazil's "national rhythm," the foremost symbol of its culture and nationhood. To the outsider, samba and the famous pre-Lenten carnival of which it is the centerpiece seem to showcase the country's African heritage. Within Brazil, however, samba symbolizes the racial and cultural mixture that, since the 1930s, most Brazilians have come to believe defines their unique national identity. But how did Brazil become "the Kingdom of Samba" only a few decades after abolishing slavery in 1888? Typically, samba is represented as having changed spontaneously, mysteriously, from a "repressed" music of the marginal and impoverished to a national symbol cherished by all Brazilians. Here, however, Hermano Vianna shows that the nationalization of samba actually rested on a long history of relations between different social groups--poor and rich, weak and powerful--often working at cross-purposes to one another. A fascinating exploration of the "invention of tradition," The Mystery of Samba is an excellent introduction to Brazil's ongoing conversation on race, popular culture, and national identity.
