This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Instituto Nacional de Cinema Educativo (1936-1966) was a Brazilian organization created by the state to produce educational films which promoted learning and inquiry through nationalistic themes and topics. State-sponsored educational cinema was presented as a medium to advocate social betterment and civic engagement through education as well as being a vehicle to promote the ideals and politics of the state. To accomplish these goals, the state unsuccessfully co-opted the domestic commercial industry and its resources in an attempt to establish educational cinema as the national genre. However, state-sponsored educational cinema was an unsustainable venture as the state failed to recognize the fragile structure of the Brazilian commercial industry, the preferences of the internal market, and the influence and domination of foreign studios over the domestic market and industry, failing to create a cohesive Brazilian cinematic industry and voice. This study analyzes the emergence, purpose, and eventual failure of state-sponsored educational cinema by examining the economic treatises and dependency which inhibited industrialization, the circumstances under which educational cinema and the institute emerged, an overview of the history, goals, and challenges of the institute to effectively incorporate educational cinema into the social and cultural fabric of the country, and how the institute's productions reflected these objectives and contributed to the Brazilian cinematic history and cannon.

Book Synopsis The First Wife by : Paulina Chiziane

Download or read book The First Wife written by Paulina Chiziane. This book was released on 2016-08-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After twenty years of marriage, Rami discovers that her husband has been living a double--or rather, a quintuple--life. Tony, a senior police officer in Maputo, has apparently been supporting four other families for many years. Rami remains calm in the face of her husband's duplicity and plots to make an honest man out of him. After Tony is forced to marry the four other women--as well as an additional lover--according to polygamist custom, the rival lovers join together to declare their voices and demand their rights. In this brilliantly funny and feverishly scathing critique, a major work from Mozambique's first published female novelist, Paulina Chiziane explores her country's traditional culture, its values and hypocrisy, and the subjection of women the world over.
