years of Brazilian media arts through the voices of some of its main actors. The
volume adopts a sociological perspective, grounding itself in the somewhat stable
concept of /Brazil/ (8.5 million km<sup>2</sup>! 210 million people! five world
cups!) to navigate the considerably messier boundaries of media and
technological arts. Each section is punctuated by an introduction that briefly
contextualizes this history against the socio-economic reality of the country. Most
of this material is published in English for the first time. If you ever needed
a sourcebook on postwar Brazilian media arts, my anglophone friends, now you have it!<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times",serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times",serif"><span lang="PT-BR">With
