Abstract

The article deals with the relations between cinema and particular notions about Northeastern Brazil, which build representations about this region. The construction of memory is understood here within a rhizomatic logic, based on Deleuze and Guattari (1995). It seeks to draw clues about this game of representations, which both affirms the power of diversity of the Northeast and denies and imposes an imaginary fixity based on strategies of stereotypy.
