It is with one eye in the present, another in the future, and always identifying silhouettes and shadows of the past that The Ripple Effect surveys several expressive cultures and literary manifestations of Brazil, analyzing the historical, cultural, religious, and interactive space that they occupy as artifacts of the country's national identity. It uses the martial art-dance-ritual capoeira as a lynchpin to disclose historical ambiguities and the negotiation of cultural and literary boundaries within the context of the ideological construct of a mestizo nation. It analyzes female representations in popular music, religion, and visual media, examines laws governing gender in soccer and capoeira, and discusses honor killings and other types of violence against women. It also appraises the contributions that some iconic female figures have made to the development of Brazil's distinctive cultural and literary production. Drawing on more than fifteen years of field, archival, and library research, the book discussions offer new interpretative venues. It applies discourse analysis to examine case studies, performances, and cultural events and provides close readings of lyrics of songs and literary texts. By focusing on gender and race to discuss Brazilian society and literature, The Ripple Effect broadens the critical focus and the methodological scope of previous scholarship and offers new interpretative venues on Brazilian popular culture. It also reveals how compellingly literature and other arts can be used to document cultural norms, catalogue life experiences, and analyze complex constructions of social values, ideas, and belief systems"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-310) and index. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Brazilian. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Capoeira (Dance) $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Brazilian literature. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Social life and customs $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Brazil $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Brazil $x History $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Social life and customs. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Barbosa, Maria JoseÌ Somerlate. $t Ripple Effect. $d West Lafayette, Indiana : Purdue University Press, 2023 $z 1612498558 $w (OCoLC)1397945884 830 0 $a Purdue studies in Romance literatures ; $v v. 88. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EC05574FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
