excerpt<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\u201cThe people enjoy luxury; it\u2019s intellectuals who enjoy poverty,\u201d declared Jo\u00e3osinho Trinta in 1979. What is the meaning of this statement by such a controversial Carnaval designer, responding to criticism that a poor country like ours cannot indulge in the luxury of samba school parades?<\/p>\n
\nsynopsis<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nA trilingual album in Portuguese, French, and English dedicated to Jo\u00e3osinho Trinta and to the anonymous craftsmen of Carnaval. Illustrated with photos by Jorge Bodanski and Jorge Hirata, it focuses on the idea that Carnaval is not only the day of forgetting but also of our memory, and through it we Brazilians yearly recreate our identity. This hypothesis, developed in the introduction and the afterword, finds support in testimony from Carnaval followers interviewed by the author.<\/p>\n
This work, a poetic documentation of the festival of Carnaval, focuses on the anthropophagic character of popular Brazilian culture, demonstrating the privileged place of the feminine figure in our Carnaval.<\/p>\n
\nhistory<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nThis book resulted from three years of research in the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro, where the author interviewed Carnaval enthusiasts, producing a pioneering work in Brazil and acquiring privileged access to Jo\u00e3osinho Trinta. Issued in 1987 as a complimentary publication of the Eucatex company in S\u00e3o Paulo, the books had two editions in its commercial circulation: by the aOutra press in 1988 and by Empresa das Artes in 1994. It was translated into French and launched in pocket book format (Editions de l\u2019Aube) at the Salon du Livre in Paris in 1998. Its definitive text was integrated into the reworked volume of articles Isso \u00e9 o pa\u00eds<\/em><\/strong>, still unpublished in its printed form but accessible at this site under Selected Works<\/strong><\/a> of the author.<\/p>\n
