  • Description: This essay is one of a series on the arts and forms of emergent common sense in the globally interconnected, politically-semiotically-media fraught, Anthropocenic twenty-first century. The arts restlessly play hopscotch with temporalities and locations. Since the days of Third Cinema, auteur cinema, and national cinemas, films have attempted complex strategies, often mobilizing local and international genre film forms subversively against themselves to create a cinema of laughter, self-recognition, and critique. The 2019 Cannes Jury Award-winning film Bacurau provides an addictively detailed, yet globally accessible, intervention into the struggles over Covid-19, authoritarianism, and erosion of indigenous, black, and other marginalized citizens’ rights. As such, it is a kind of social drama that encompasses expanding breaches in the social fabric beyond its text and reworking temporal relations between pasts and futures. Este ensaio faz parte de uma série sobre as artes e formas de senso comum emergentes no globalmente interconectado, intensamente político-semiótico-midiático e antropocênico século XXI. As artes brincam incessantemente de amarelinha com temporalidades e espacialidades. Desde os dias do Terceiro Cinema, do cinema de autor e dos cinemas nacionais, os filmes têm experimentado estratégias complexas, muitas vezes mobilizando gêneros cinematográficos locais e internacionais subversivamente, contra si mesmos, para criar um cinema de riso, autorreconhecimento e crítica. Bacurau, filme vencedor do Prêmio do Júri de Cannes de 2019, oferece uma intervenção detalhada, mas acessível globalmente, nas lutas em relação a Covid-19, autoritarismo e erosão dos direitos indígenas, negros e de outros cidadãos marginalizados. Dessa forma, é uma espécie de drama social que abarca a expansão das brechas no tecido social para além de seu texto e o retrabalho das relações temporais entre passados e futuros.
