Spaces and Voices of Brazil through Film

Subject Code: 
ILAC
Course Number: 
193Q
Crosslisted as: 
PORTLANG 193Q
Description: 

The manners in which a country is perceived and defines itself is a result of many complex forces, and involves the reproduction of social relations and complex social constructions both on the part of those who live there and those who see it from a distance. The perceptions of what Brazil is and what defines the country has changed throughout times, but has conserved some clear pervasive defining traits. This course is an introduction to the history, culture, politics and artistic production of Brazil as seen through feature films, documentaries and some complementary readings. Movies include, among others, Banana is my Business, Black Orpheus, Olga, They Don't Use Black-Tie, City of God, Central Station, Gaijin, and Four Days in September-among others. In English.

Anna Marshall is a Ph.D. candidate in Iberian and Latin American Cultures at Stanford University. She was born and raised in the Carolinas, where she studied Comparative Literature and Latin American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Marshall’s research areas include language politics and queer theory, as well as comparative and digital approaches to language pedagogy. Her qualifying paper entitled “The Trace of an Accent: Translation through Ghostwriting in Budapeste by Chico Buarque” examines the role of ghostwriting as it relates to translation and the globalization of literature. She will present a modified form of the paper at the American Comparative Literature Association’s 2013 conference in Toronto.

Marshall co-chairs the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages’ Gender Studies Reading Group, a forum for graduate students across the Division to read and discuss canonical texts of gender studies. Marshall currently works as Dr. Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano's research assistant. She also serves as student liaison between the Division and the Center for Teaching and Learning.
