Frammenti di dolore: violenza razziale-etnica nel cinema brasiliano durante la fase finale della dittatura militare (1979-1985)

Abstract

This article aims to address the movement of racial and ethnic violence memories practiced by the military dictatorship, which started to be released from the phase of its distension. With the partial relaxation of institutions connected to the control and political repression, several memories of marginalized groups could gain public space. Our analysis will focus on three films: O Homem que virou suco (João Batista de Andrade, 1980), Mato eles? (Sérgio Bianchi, 1982) and O Dia em que Dorival encarou a guarda (Jorge Furtado and José Pedro Goulart, 1985). The issues that will guide this article are: how collective memory is triggered by the narrative of these films that expose episodes of pain?; in what ways institutions evaluated these films?
