From his early work in the 1960s to his last, posthumous film in 2015, Coutinho transformed documentary filmmaking in Brazil and beyond. Described as an informal linguist and savage anthropologist, Coutinho filmed encounters with people different from himself that foregrounded their voices and his role as an attentive listener, creating a \"cinema of listening.\" This collection brings together leading scholars of film, literature, visual culture, Brazilian studies, and Latin American studies, from the United States and Latin America, to examine both Coutinho's masterpieces and less studied films. Using a range of approaches, the contributors invite new ways of understanding the documentarian's trajectory and importance as his work transformed in response to dictatorship, democratization, and other political, social, and technological changes over the course of five decades. The volume also features original translations of a selection of Coutinho's writings and key texts by Brazilian critics to offer a historical perspective on his filmmaking and its reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia Brizuela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143849789X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438497891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.89d","brand":"Natalia Brizuela","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427540680959,"sku":"9781438497891","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_797352da-1bcd-40c5-bd91-24d4898692fe.jpg?v=1761580030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-to-others-natalia-brizuela-9781438497891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
