{"product_id":"9798855800470","title":"Brazilian Science Fiction Film : A Critical History by Alfredo Suppia","description":"The first book-length account of Brazilian science fiction cinema.   This book offers a pioneering critical history of Brazilian science fiction (SF) cinema, from its first appearances in the mid-twentieth century to the present. 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56310806675829,"sku":"9798855800470","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9798855800470","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
