The filmography representing the ‘Portuguese Orient’ during the Estado Novo (1933–1974) is scarce and late, employing a simplified Luso- tropicalist rhetoric that repeatedly actualises the myth of a vast, long-lost, territory.
This book examines the impact of cinematographic representations of the former Portuguese territories in the Orient on socio-cultural memories and narrative identities, through a critical exhumation of the archives and analysis of existing filmography. The analysis reveals that films of the ‘Portuguese Orient’ depict this imagined community with a certain degree of vagueness. This is largely a consequence of the prolonged disintegration of the metropolis’ relationship with this imagined community, a relationship that was mainly based on projections (about their alleged Portuguese identity) and ruins.
Maria do Carmo Picarra is a full researcher at ICNOVA-Institute of Communication at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Assistant Professor at Universidade Autonoma de Lisboa, and a film curator. Her research interests include (post)colonial cinematic representations, film propaganda and censorship, and women in decolonisation movements.
