The innovative collection of essays by a distinguished group of scholars brought together in The Brazilian Road Movie: Journeys of (Self)Discovery represents the first book-length publication on Brazil's encounters with and reworkings of one of cinema's most enduringly popular genres.
The Brazilian Road Movie explores some of the key trends and films in the development of the road movie in Brazil. A collection of essays by distinguished scholars, covering a broad range of case studies, this text spans Brazilian film production from the silent era to the present day. Contributors examine such issues as the reworking of the genre in a Brazilian context and the relationships between documentary and fiction; history, politics, and cinema; gender and race; the wilderness and the urban space; and the national and the transnational. As a whole, the volume sheds light on the significance of the journey and the experience of life on the road as represented in Brazilian cinema.
