Beskrivning
This book resorts to a new, intermedial method in order to reconstruct the history of Brazilian cinema. From its inception Brazilian cinema has combined extra-filmic artistic and medial forms, resulting in an original aesthetic blend. Theatre, dance, music, circus, radio, television and the plastic arts have left a distinctive mark on Brazilian cinema's poetics and politics, as can be observed in a host of fascinating phenomena analysed in this book, including: screen and stage interactions in the silent era; the chanchada musical comedies, inflected by vaudeville theatre and the radio; Glauber Rocha's intermedial cosmogony; the manguebeat and arido movie movements that blurred the boundaries between music and film; and contemporary multimedia installations among others. By adopting intermediality as a historiographic method, this book will bring to the public, for the first time, the polymathic cultural wealth behind filmic expressions in Brazilian cinema through the lens of its most authoritative experts.

Recensioner i media

This volume sheds much-needed light on the complex dialogues with the other arts and media that characterise Brazilian cinema. It illustrates how the intermedial method can be used to interrogate and nuance traditional approaches to the study of any cinema culture.
