...while researching for my Brazilian Visual Culture final (a video essay).
"Dissing" = "Showing disrespect" = the word came from the word "disrespecting"!!!! This blew my mind.
"Paradise is here, hell is here, madness is here, passion is here." - lyrics from Sinfonía do Rio de Janeiro de São Sebastião --> yup, apt description of Rio.
Also a lot of information about gangs, and now I'm moving onto a book by a woman who's lived in Rio's favelas for 40 years. Whoo. But this is why I choose the topics that I choose for all my finals and papers, because I know I want to have an excuse/motivator to do research on these subjects. So it's good in a way, and fascinating, even though it's sad.
