Few things can be as representative of post-modern society as the garbage. We live in a period of civilization where the waste takes the space of cities. The remains of the industrialization period that was the modernity gain a new and immeasurable sense in large-scale production of fast-consuming goods and the large circulation of goods which are symbols of post-modernity. Estamira, the 2005 Brazilian documentary directed by Marcos Prado, talks about garbage, but as the urban waste, as rest of consuming, as the human waste, people who survive collecting garbage in a landfill. This article proposes to analyze the movie using the Discourse Analysis.
Key words: waste, Estamira, documentary.Downloads
