Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. With Brazils largest concentration of historic landmarks and famous landscapes, Rio de Janeiros passionate heritage debates have helped to define both the city and the country. Taking a critical preservationist stance, Brian Godfrey explores how historic designation and urban rebranding have shaped Rios distinctive sense of place.Official heritage programs date from the 1930s, when federal authorities centralized power and promoted nationalism. The city began a heritage-based strategy of urban revitalization and rebranding in the 1980sthe Cultural Corridor of historic places downtown. Subsequent rediscovery of the old Little Africa district and continuing struggles of favela communities have emphasized narratives of counter-memory against racism, social injustice, and governmental neglect. Meanwhile environmental activism has encouraged programs to conserve the historic landscapes of Rios famous mountains, forests, beaches, and bays. While historic preservation often presumes to conserve or restore heritage sites according to a preexisting authenticity, Godfrey shows how the past actually becomes a resource for present-day interests. Memory brokers have guided the reinvention of historic places, determining whose past has been preserved. Debates over the right of remembrance, he argues, shape place memories and identities in this spectacular if highly unequal megacity, which has much to teach the world about conserving cultural diversity and urban environments. This engaging book explores how and why debates over Rio's historic landmarks and landscapes have defined both the city and Brazil. Godfrey explains how heritage designation and rebranding have shaped the city's sense of place. He convincingly shows how much the world can lear. This item is printed on demand.
