Item Sons of the Fatherland: Brazilian Masculinities in Tropa de Elite and Praia do Futuro(Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2014-12-31) Santos Vieira de Jesus, Diego; Daminelli Fernandes, VerônicaThe main objective of this article is to examine the different perspectives on Brazilian masculinities brought by Tropa de Elite / Tropa de Elite 2 and Praia do Futuro by the investigation of the main characters in both movies, both played by Wagner Moura: Roberto Nascimento and Donato. We argue that the masculinites in both movies are reflections of phenomena which are produced at the institutional life of Brazilian state.
