| contents | Interpreters of difference: “Universal” communication and the national body of Brazilian artists in the USA Bernardo Fonseca Machado Antropología actors Brazil theater United States Discourses of difference Centered on examining the trajectories of Brazilian actors who migrated to the United States with the purpose of studying and working in that country, this article aims to discuss the rhetoric of difference mobilized by subjects to describe states, markets and their own experiences. The proposal is aligned with anthropological research focused on investigating the politics of difference in transnational contexts. During 2015 and 2016, I conducted interviews with eleven Brazilian artists who lived in the USA. These individuals argued that there was a “universal” communication conferred by “art” and relied on the transcendence of their acting techniques - they believed they were capable of playing any character in the new country. However, as they tried to obtain roles, they encountered restrictions precisely because they were foreigners: their accent, physical appearance and the visa-related limitations prevented them a regular professional practice. The main question is: how these subjects formulated about difference? 2020 artículo científico 1809-4341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406964062028 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406964062028/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406964062028/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406964062028/406964062028.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4069/406964062028/movil 10.1590/1809-43412020v17d703 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4069 VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Antropologia VIBRANT - Vibrant Virtual Brazilian Anthropology (Brasil) Vol.17 |
