摘要
本文以我们定义的巴西软实力鼎盛时期(2009年左右)为起点,因为巴西似乎准备充分利用一系列机会(例如即将到来的世界杯和奥运会),在全球政治中扮演更重要的角色。它评估了电影对巴西软实力叙事的潜在贡献,重点是电影政策,对巴西电影在国外传播的支持以及电影制作在巴西软实力愿景中的地位。然后讨论两部电影——《Lula: Filho do Brasil》(Lula: Son of Brazil, Barreto, 2009)和《Aquarius》(Mendonca Filho, 2016)——以及它们在多大程度上挑战了电影在巴西作为软实力资产的概念。文章最后评论了巴西最近发生的一些事件,以及这些事件对巴西作为软实力强国和更广泛意义上的巴西电影制作可能产生的影响。
This article takes as its starting point what we define as Brazil’s soft-power halcyon days (around 2009), as the nation seems set to maximize a range of opportunities (the upcoming World Cup and Olympics, for example) to take on a more significant role in global politics. It assesses the potential contribution of cinema to the Brazilian soft-power narrative, focusing on film policy, support for the dissemination of Brazilian films abroad and the place of film production within Brazil’s soft-power vision. It then discusses two films – Lula: Filho do Brasil (Lula: Son of Brazil, Barreto, 2009) and Aquarius (Mendonca Filho, 2016) – and the extent to which they trouble the very notion of film as a soft-power asset in Brazil. It concludes by commenting on more recent events in Brazil, and their likely effect on both the nation as a soft-power powerhouse and on film production in the country more broadly.
