Listening to Others Eduardo Coutinho’s Documentary Cinema


Free Download Natalia Brizuela, "Listening to Others: Eduardo Coutinho’s Documentary Cinema "
English | ISBN: 1438497911 | 2024 | 389 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 4 MB
Listening to Others is the first English-language volume dedicated solely to the vast corpus of the preeminent Brazilian director, Eduardo Coutinho (1933-2014). From his early work in the 1960s to his last, posthumous film in 2015, Coutinho transformed documentary filmmaking in Brazil and beyond. Described as an informal linguist and savage anthropologist, Coutinho filmed encounters with people different from himself that foregrounded their voices and his role as an attentive listener, creating a "cinema of listening." This collection brings together leading scholars of film, literature, visual culture, Brazilian studies, and Latin American studies, from the United States and Latin America, to examine both Coutinho’s masterpieces and less studied films. Using a range of approaches, the contributors invite new ways of understanding the documentarian’s trajectory and importance as his work transformed in response to dictatorship, democratization, and other political, social, and technological changes over the course of five decades. The volume also features original translations of a selection of Coutinho’s writings and key texts by Brazilian critics to offer a historical perspective on his filmmaking and its reception.

Thinking of Others On the Talent for Metaphor


Free Download Ted Cohen, "Thinking of Others: On the Talent for Metaphor "
English | ISBN: 0691154465 | 2012 | 104 pages | AZW3 | 285 KB
In Thinking of Others, Ted Cohen argues that the ability to imagine oneself as another person is an indispensable human capacity-as essential to moral awareness as it is to literary appreciation-and that this talent for identification is the same as the talent for metaphor. To be able to see oneself as someone else, whether the someone else is a real person or a fictional character, is to exercise the ability to deal with metaphor and other figurative language. The underlying faculty, Cohen argues, is the same-simply the ability to think of one thing as another when it plainly is not.

Immigration and Discrimination (Un)Welcoming Others

English | June 7, 2024 | ISBN: 019889869X | True EPUB | 240 pages | 0.8/1.8 MB
Prompted both by past policies and recent developments concerning immigration around the world that center on race, ethnicity, religion, and other identities, Immigration and Discrimination explores what bases states are morally permitted to use for their admission decisions and policies, and why. Many scholars appeal to the terminology and concept of wrongful discrimination when discussing identity-based immigration decisions, but there has been little to no effort dedicated to examining whether the idea of wrongful discrimination-traditionally applied to interactions among people within a state-is applicable at the global level, or to interactions among people in different states.
