From hybridity to the aesthetics of garbage

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper focuses on three related aspects of these aesthetics, specifically: 1) their constitutive hybridity; 2) their chronotopic multiplicity; and 3) their common motif of the redemption of detritus. After arguing the special qualifications of the cinema for realising such a hybrid, multitemporal aesthetic, I will conclude with the case of the Brazilian 'aesthetics of garbage' as the point of convergence of all our themes, specifically examining three films literally and figuratively 'about' garbage.
