Photographs and favelas : toward a process of self-discovery and belonging -- Videos, favelas, and childhood : reclaiming new symbolic geographies -- Favelas for sale : resisting the easy links between democracy and urban restructuring plans -- Monuments and consumption : defying mechanisms of social and spatial stratification. |
| Summary |
New Postcards from Rio de Janeiro examines the interconnections between notions of citizenship and space in the works of favela-based cultural producers. It argues that the emphasis on the favela daily life generates an aesthetic of representation involved in the rewriting of the city as part of a process of political resistance and affirmation of difference. |
