Offering a rich diversity of examples extracted from lived experience, iconographic materials, and narratives, it provides innovative and compelling connections between theoretical questions and urban vignettes. Throughout the essays, the specificity of Rio de Janeiro is highlighted but it is framed in relation to theoretical questions that are relevant to major contemporary cities. The book underlines the dilemmas of a city that attempts to compete globally while confronting social inequality, violence, and novel forms of democratic agency. It retraces Rio de Janeiro's modernist memories as the former political/cultural capital of Brazilian intelligentsia and national culture. It explores Rio as a city of popular culture, mestizo legacies, media productions, and cultural innovation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: The eyes of the city -- Imagining the "Marvelous City" : spectacle and urban spaces -- Modernist ruins : national narratives and architectural forms -- The visible and the invisibles : photography and social imaginaries in Brazil / (written with MauriÌcio Lissovsky) -- Carnival crowds : caught in the crowd -- Tropical Babylon : Copacabana and the poetics of nostalgia and decadence -- Favelas : realist aesthetics, consumption, and authorship -- Narrating the street : modernity and decadence -- Afterword: The image of the city. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x Civilization. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x History. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $v Pictorial works. 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 651 7 $a Brazil $z Rio de Janeiro. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205337 650 7 $a Stadtleben $2 gnd 650 7 $a Stadtentwicklung $2 gnd 650 7 $a VerstaÌdterung $2 gnd 651 7 $a Rio de Janeiro $2 gnd 651 7 $a Brasilien $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 830 0 $a Culture, economy and the social. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718090147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88029DE8214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
