Brasília in the Age of the Earth: notes for a figural analysis

Ilana Schlaich Tschiptschin

This article aims at providing elements for the interpretation of three different sequences of the film A Idade da Terra (The Age of the Earth), by Glauber Rocha, using the method of figural analysis developed by Philippe Dubois. The sequences selected are set in the city of Brasília. In this article we will analyze the city’s role in the film’s discourse as a way of constructing a myth of modernity and the way the characters act in the given space. Considering the fact that a conclusive analysis cannot be achieved in this article, its purpose is to propose new analytical perspectives on subsequent sequences and to draw comparisons between the imagery of The Age of the Earth and other movies by Glauber Rocha.
