| Abstract | |
This study presents three historiographic exercises concerning visual culture in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the twentieth century where contradictory social issues emerge from class, gender and origin relations by means of different operations of identification and distinction. The first chapter analyzes the remnant images of Circuito de São Gonçalo (Empresa F. Serrador, 1909), about the homonymous automobile race, under discussion with similar foreign movies, following convergences between progress and disaster. The second chapter maps the presence of cinematographic thrill rides in Brazil, which simulated automobile tours, and discusses their spectator experiences. These apparatus are pictured as a setting where those present behaved as actors of an enacting proposed by the attraction\'s ambience. The third chapter suggests an imaginary journey for the couple of caipiras who feature in the lost movie Sô Lotero e nhá Ofrasia com seus productos na Exposição (Labanca, Leal e Cia., 1908). The confluence of naive character and cosmopolitan milieu condensed both the modernity allure and its induced anxiety. (AU) | |
