Eventos

The Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology (LISA-USP) will show four contemporary Guarani films in its auditorium, in special sessions, as part of the AntropoCena project, followed by debates with guests. Originating from the discipline Extension Practices in Indigenous Ethnology, under the guidance of Professor Pedro Cesarino, the exhibition aims to foster debate on issues dear to indigenous peoples, such as the relationship between territory and identity, in addition to raising, with a focus on the Guarani, discussions on the place of indigenous cinema in the national and international audiovisual panorama and giving visibility to this production.

Registration for the extension course "Documentary and Ethnography in Brazil: The Cinema of Eduardo Coutinho" is open until April 21, 2025. It will be held from April 29, 2025 to July 1, 2025, in distance learning.

The course aims to explore the relationship between Eduardo Coutinho's documentary cinema and ethnographic practice, highlighting how the Brazilian filmmaker uses documentary as a tool for reflecting on the social reality of Brazil, especially after 1960. Based on the analysis of key works by Coutinho, the course seeks to investigate the specificities of his cinematic approach, which dialogues with anthropological methods of observation, description and the prioritization of the local and the particular. In addition, it intends to discuss the historical and aesthetic impact of documentary cinema in Brazil, considering that Coutinho produced films over half a century, which configures his work as a kind of documentation of the historical, social and political inflections that marked the country during this period. The course also aims to fill a gap in academic studies on Coutinho's work within anthropology, offering a critical and integrated reading of cinema and ethnography.
