Space in-between, Memorialization, Interculturality, cinema, BrazilAbstract
Gabriel Mascaro’s Ventos de Agosto portrays the struggle of a small fishing community in Alagoas, Brazil, as they become aware of the different currents that invade it. Represented by the advance of the sea over the local cemetery, the extraordinary strength of these currents has been eroding their memory spaces and threatening their survival as a society. The idea of space in-between, debated in Brazil as a space for affirmation and resistance to social erasure, finds in Mascaro a transition point where the disparity observed between the forces in question point to a precarious interculturality in the face of such disproportionality and to anxiety for survival and memorialization.
