Brazil Related Events at Harvard

by Marcio Siwi

*The Brazil Studies Program at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies would like to inform you of the following upcoming Brazil related events at Harvard* Brazil Film Series* Santiago* Directed by João Moreira Salles In 1992, filmmaker João Moreira Salles began making a film about Santiago, the family butler who worked for Salles's parents since his childhood. Years later, after the death of the flamboyant servant, Salles returns to the unused footage and crafts a moving portrait of an enigmatic man who, aside from running the household, is a talented pianist, a poet and an amateur historian interested in the lives of aristocrats. The film is an evocative reflection on the components of a person's identity and those traits that make us memorable to others. Through his personal voice-over, Salles sheds light on his family and childhood as well as universal topics such as memory, identity, and documentary filmmaking.

Sedi Hirano at Harvard - Inequality and Poverty in Brazil - TODAY

by Marcio Siwi

*The Brazil Studies Program at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures** present* *Inequality and Poverty in Brazil: Public Policies of Inclusion or Structured Exclusion? * A Conversa with *Sedi Hirano*, Professor of Sociology and Co-director of the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Racism at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) Professor Hirano will address the mechanisms around the production and persistence of poverty and inequality in Brazil, particularly the capitalist market logic that imposes formal requirements on potential workers which in turn creates a large unemployable population in Brazil who are destined for poverty and social exclusion. This population of informal workers lack job security and are therefore deeply vulnerable and highly dependent on state sponsored cash transfer programs, such as Bolsa Família. Professor Hirano will analyze whether Bolsa Família is an effective policy of social inclusion or yet another mechanism that reproduces preexisting structures of exclusion. Date: *Monday, November 2nd, 2009 - TODAY* Time: 12:00pm to 2:00pm Location: DRCLAS Resource Room S 216 - 1730 Cambridge Street Free and open to the public Consecutive translation will be provided A light Brazilian lunch will be offered _______________________ FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF THE BRAZIL STUDIES PROGRAM CALENDAR OF EVENTS GO TO: http://www.drclas.harvard.edu/brazil/events -- Marcio Siwi Fellow / Program Officer Brazil Studies Program Harvard University David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies 1730 Cambridge St. Cambridge, MA 02138 tel (617) 495-5435 http://drclas.harvard.edu/brazil
