Abstract	THE DEBATE AROUND CIDADE DE DEUS: POLITICAL EMPTINESS OF “PASTICHE” OR PARADOX OF “COMPLICITOUS CRITIQUE”? CAROLINE ROBERTO UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE SANTA CATARINA 2007 Supervising Professor: Anelise R. Corseuil Co-advisor: Robert J. Burgoyne This study analyses the aesthetics of the film Cidade de Deus, which is based in a thematic of poverty – more specifically in the representation of the favela, and exemplifies the postmodern moment in its use of different forms. Making a parallel between the criticism around this film and the theoretical debate promoted by postmodernism, this study analyses how hybridization of genres works: as “pastiche,” emptying the political content, or as “complicitous critique,” reinforcing the social criticism. Combining the critical debate around Cidade de Deus and the postmodern theoretical debate with an in-depth analysis of the film Cidade de Deus, the results of this study show that the hybrid representation of poverty, and the agile editing style of Cidade de Deus, albeit introducing elements of “pastiche,” remain critical, thus characterizing the postmodern paradox through “complicitous critique.” Number of pages: 73 Number of words: 23,897
