As part of this film series, LAS has invited Dr. Christopher Dunn from Tulane University, who will introduce and contextualize Uma Noite de 67 (2010). Dr. Dunn received his Ph.D. in Luso-Brazilian Studies from Brown University in 1996. He is a core member of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane and holds a joint appointment with the African and African Diaspora Studies Program. His research focuses on cultural politics during the period of the dictatorship, national and regional discourse, popular music, race relations, and black culture in Brazil. Some of his publications are Brutality Garden: Tropicália and the Emergence of a Brazilian Counterculture published by the University of North Carolina Press (2001) and by Ongaku Na Tomo in Japanese translation (2005). He is co-editor with Charles Perrone of Brazilian Popular Music and Globalization published by Routledge (2001). At present, he is working on a book-length study of the Brazilian counterculture and related artistic expression of the 1970s and preparing a new volume of essays, co-edited with Idelber Avelar, Brazilian Popular Music and Citizenship.
