Reviews

Martins' deeply engaged and richly informed reflections on the particularities of the Brazilian situation analyse the vicissitudes of artistic and architectural modernism as it took shape in Brazil in the mid-twentieth century, and its subsequent replacement by an apolitical formalist aestheticism in the postmodern age of neoliberal capitalism. Alex Potts, Max Loehr Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan Martins reprend la perspective inauguree par Emilio Sales Gomes sur la question de la culture occupee des peripheries du capitalisme et lui donne des developpements eclairants notamment en dialogue avec les theories de l'historien de l'art David Craven sur un alternative Modernism rompant avec l'eurocentrisme. Une reflexion qui devrait irriguer egalement les etudes sur le cinema des pays peripheriques. Francois Albera, 1895 revue d'histoire du cinema, No. 87, Spring 2019, p. 200
