Though frequently overlooked by scholars, SF cinema from the Global South has reinvigorated the genre in recent decades. In this comprehensive study--the first of its kind in either English or Portuguese--Alfredo Suppia draws out the unique features and universal resonance of SF film in Brazil, a country that has fittingly been called \"the land of the future.\" In Suppia's analysis, Brazilian SF stems from and responds to a long history of inequality in which everyday reality has often resembled a movie-like dystopia. Analyzing both short and feature films in the context of social, political, and economic transformations, Suppia rethinks SF film in general from a southern perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 393\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164037517447,"sku":"9798855800487","price":169.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/0602cd71d21e97317fc76e99c04e3876.webp?v=1733302303","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/brazilian-science-fiction-film-a-critical-history-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
