Anotácia knihy

In "Culture Wars in Brazil", Daryle Williams analyses the contentious politicking over the administration, meaning, and look of Brazilian culture that marked the first regime of president-dictator, Getulio Vargas (1883-1954). Examining a series of interconnected battles waged among bureaucrats, artists, intellectuals, critics, and everyday citizens over the state's power to regulate and consecrate the field of cultural production, Williams argues that the high-stakes struggles over cultural management fought between the Revolution of 1930 and the fall of the Estado Novo dictatorship centred upon the bragging rights to brasilidade - an intangible yet highly coveted sense of Brazilianness. Williams draws upon a rich selection of textual, pictorial, and architectural sources in his exploration of the dynamic nature of educational film and radio, historical preservation, museum management, painting, public architecture, and national delegations organised for international expositions during an unsettled era when modern Brazil's cultural canon took definitive form. In his close reading of the tensions surrounding official policies of cultural management, Williams updates the research of the pioneer generation of North American Brazilianists, who examined the politics of state-building during the Vargas era, while engaging today's generation of Brazilianists, who locate the construction of national identity of modern Brazil in the Vargas era. By integrating Brazil into a growing body of literature on the cultural dimensions of nations and nationalism, "Culture Wars in Brazil" will be important reading for students and scholars of Latin American history, state formation, modernist art and architecture, and cultural studies.
