Literature

Memórias Póstumas

de Brás Cubas

Item: Book “Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas”Author: Machado de AssisWhy: “It is simple the best book I've ever read”. Machado de Assis is definitely the Brazilian best author, and one of the world’s best author. This book marks the apex of his carreer.

Item: Book “Nosso Lar”Author: André Luiz by Francisco Cândido XavierWhy: Francisco Xavier was a popular medium and philanthropist of Brazil's spiritism movement. He wrote most of his 450 books using a process known as "psychography“ and influenced the faith of thousands of Brazilians. “Nosso Lar” is, from my point of view, his best selling book.

Language

Item: Dictionary Why: Portuguese is the official language of only 7 countries (Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé and Príncipe). So, we don´t know how it will be in future. Thus, I will put in my time capsule a dicitionary Portuguese – English – Spanish to help future researchers to understand our legacy.

Music

Item: CD “20 Grandes Sucessos de Tom Jobim”Author: Antônio Carlos JobimWhy: “His music touches our soul”. Tom Jobim was a Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist. He was a primary force behind the creation of the “Bossa nova” style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally. "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema) is one of the most recorded songs of all time.

Food

Item: Brazilian Feijoada recipeAuthor: UnknownWhy: Feijoada is a stew of black beans with beef and pork and a typical Brazilian dish. The most widespread popular explanation of the origin of Feijoada is that farmers supplied slaves with the "remains" of pigs. The cooking of these ingredients, with beans and water, became the Brazilian Feijoada. It is not known if this story is true or just a legend, but Feijoada is surely delicious.

Regional Culture

Chimarrão Capoeira Indigenous Celebretion

Carnaval Festa Junina Frevo

Forró

Bumba Meu Boi

Item: Traditional regional parties (Photos and videos) Why: Brazil is a continental country. People who live in a region of the country has culture, customs and traditions completely different from those who live elsewhere in the country. Faced with such diversity nothing more natural than preserve it in the Time Capsule at least a little of each region. So, I will put in the capsule some videos and photos relating the major regional events and traditions in the country.

Religion

Item: Umbanda (videos, photos, explanations and principles)Why: Umbanda is the biggest religion the was created in Brazil. It is a syncretic Brazilian religion that blends African traditions with Roman Catholicism, Spiritism, and Indigenous American beliefs. Some beliefs are the existence of a single, supreme creator god known as Olodumare. Other beliefs are the existence of deities called Orixás, most of them syncretized with Catholic saints that act as divine energy and forces of nature; spirits of deceased people that counsel and guide practitioners through troubles in the material world; psychics, or mediums, who have a natural ability that can be perfected to bring messages from the spiritual world of Orixás and the guiding spirits; reincarnation and spiritual evolution through many material lives (karmic law) and the practice of charity and social fraternity.

Movies

Item: A Dog's Will “O auto da compadecida”Author: Guel ArraesWhy: The lively João Grilo and the sly Chicó are poor guys living in the hinterland who cheat a bunch of people in a small Northeast Brazil town. But when they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary, before they are admitted to paradise. A comedy that shows a lot about Brazilian northeast faith, culture and lifestyle. Click to watch the trailler in portugues e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJ76JDCRHs

Item: Elite Squad “Tropa de Elite”Director: José PadilhaWhy: In 1997, Captain Nascimento from BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) is a honest cop that has to face drug dealers and criminals while he looks for a substitute. However, the police is full of corruption, lack of competence and stupid bureaucracy. It is an action movie that shows a sad reality about one of the most beautiful cities in Brazil.

Passion

Item: Football (Videos and photos)Why: It´s used to say that football was born in England, but was in Brazil that it found its home. The Brazilians are simply in love with the sport, portray the country and not talk about soccer and our players is to omit an essential part of our history The country stop to watch a game, so my “time capsule” needs to have videos and pictures of our players.

Architecture

Item: Brasília (Photos and projects) Auhtor: Lúcio Costa and Oscar NiemeyerWhy: Brasília is the federal capital of Brazil. The city is located along the Brazilian Highlands in the country's Central-West region and was founded in 1960, to serve as the new national capital. Brasília was planned by Lúcio Costa and designed by the most famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Brasília was chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its modernist architecture.

Indian Culture

Item: Indigenous handicrafts Why: Preserve a whole culture in a Time Capsule is impossible. But the Indigenous people in Brazil (the Native Brazilians) are so complex and culturally rich that I would preserve some of their handicrafts. For the future.
