Tatiana Signorelli Heise fills that gap, focusing on the idea of the nation as an imagined community and considering the various ways in which dominant ideas about \"brasilidade,\" or Brazilian national consciousness, are dramatized, supported, or attacked in contemporary fiction and documentary films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891080806551,"sku":"9780708325087","price":1732.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780708325087.webp?v=1781182305","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/remaking-brazil-contested-national-identities-in-contemporary-brazilian-cinema-9780708325087","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
