Abstract

SANT ANNA, Mara Rúbia  and  MACEDO, Káritha Bernardo. Images of Latin America in the body and costumes of Carmen Miranda s stylized baiana : social memory and identity. Comunicação e Sociedade [online]. 2013, vol.24, pp.161-185. ISSN 1645-2089.  https://doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.24(2013).1782.

This is a study on the costumes worn by Carmen Miranda during the Hollywood film Week-End in Havana , released in 1941. It analyzes the elements of costume and discusses how they are appropriate in the current fashion discourse reinforcing or perpetuating, somehow, the discourse about Brazil and Latin America created by the performance of Carmen many decades ago.

Keywords : Carmen Miranda; stylized Baiana costume; identity; social memory.
