Carnival as Spectacle: Brazil

Rio de Janeiro

Sao Paolo


Salvador de Bahia

-------------------------------------

LINK:

Please, watch the videos (You don't have to watch the whole video, just a few minutes to get the idea of what a Brazilian carnival may look like). 

Go to the link. The pages don't have numbers, so scrawl down to the subtitle "The Society of the Spectacle and the Revolution of Everyday Life." Read the four paragraphs under that section.


Questions

After watching the videos and reading the text, in which way can the carnival in Brazil be considered part of the society of the spectacle. Use the point of view expressed in the text.

When compared with the carnival in Santiago de Cuba we saw last class, in which way is the Rio de Janeiro's, Sao Paolo's and Salvador's carnivals similar or different?
