Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de referências: Queer Desires, Haptic Gazes, Scrapscapes of Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788869775109)

Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de referências presents the first comprehensive study of Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de referências, a collection of over 130 notebooks meticulously compiled throughout more than three decades (1981-2013 ca.). These scrapbooks bring together Greco-Roman mythology, U.S. pornography, French Theory, and the Brazilian pop-art scene, reflecting Hudinilson Jr.'s unique method of cultural critique through appropriation. By exploring this intricate fusion of seemingly disparate materials, the book positions scrapbooking not as a trivial or domestic hobby, but as a politically charged artistic practice of resistance. It argues that Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos interrogate the intersections of identity, desire, and mass media, challenging dominant narratives and opening spaces for subversive readings within visual culture.
