Barbarian Currents covers more than 50 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^2 ! 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!


With chapters by Aracy Amaral, Lucas Bambozzi, Paulo Bruscky, Augusto de 
Campos, Haroldo de Campos, Fernando Cocchiarale, Marcos Cuzziol, Otávio
