excerpt<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\u201cWho are we?\u201d Celso Furtado\u2019s question reiterates that of Affonso Romano de Sant\u2019Anna and Roberto DaMatta, in symptomatic repetition. If the question never ceases to be posed, it is because identity never ceases to elude our intelligentsia, characterized by the effort to grasp it. What explains this fruitless quest? To what do we owe this other form of poverty or unhappiness?<\/p>\n
\nsynopsis<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nThis is a collection of various articles published by Betty Milan in the Brazilian press between 1979 and 1998, selected by the author and organized thematically: \u201cCultura e identidade\u201d [Culture and Identity],\u201d Machismo\u201d, \u201cM\u00eddia\u201d [Media], \u201cLoucura e crime\u201d [Insanity and Crime], \u201cCrian\u00e7a de rua\u201d [Street Kid], \u201cGente\u201d [People].<\/p>\n
\u201cCultura e identidade\u201d deals with the significance of the culture of play for us Brazilians. There is also comparative analysis of Brazilian and foreign cultures.<\/p>\n
\u201cMachismo\u201d demonstrates the importance of the figure of the Other, the rival, in the Brazilian feminine mystique. It also focuses on crimes in which machismo manifested itself through the killing of women.<\/p>\n
\u201cM\u00eddia\u201d presents evidence of the neglect of the print and television media vis-\u00e0-vis the culture of play. Broadcasting of the parade of samba schools is criticized because, in the manner of a pornographic film, television focuses solely on the reveler\u2019s body to arouse the viewer\u2019s lust, making what was play into an exhibitionistic perversion.<\/p>\n
\u201cLoucura e crime\u201d comprises articles relating to violence at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where the unconscionable practice of imprisonment without trial is the rule.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrian\u00e7a de rua\u201d deals with abandoned children in Rio de Janeiro and S\u00e3o Paulo, their way of life, and the attempts to find a solution to the problem.<\/p>\n
Finally, in \u201cGente\u201d are found the author\u2019s principal articles about Brazilian writers, politicians, and artists of her time. The collection reveals the varied gamut of the author\u2019s interests and how attentive she has always been to her country.<\/p>\n
\nhistory<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nPublished in 1984 in a co-edition with aOutra, the press of the Freudian School of Rio de Janeiro, and Kair\u00f3s, in S\u00e3o Paulo, Isso \u00e9 o pa\u00eds<\/em> <\/strong>was launched in the auditorium of the Folha de S. Paulo<\/em> in the context of a debate on national affairs in which participated poet and translator Claudio Willer, university professor Jos\u00e9 Miguel Wisnik, and anthropologist Roberto DaMatta.<\/p>\nAt the beginning of the decade of the 2000s, with the title out of print for several years, the author decided to revisit the volume for a new edition and brought together various articles, maintaining the thematic approach employed in the book, with the exception of \u201cM\u00eddia,\u201d which was excluded.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGente\u201d theme was retitled \u201cAntrop\u00f3fagos brasileiros\u201d [Brazilian Cannibals] and two additions were made: the epilogue entitled \u201cManifesto tupiniquim\u201d [Tupiniquim Manifesto] and \u201cO Brasil no imagin\u00e1rio dos portugueses\u201d [Brazil in the Imagination of the Portuguese].<\/p>\n
