A manifestation of the \u201cGood Neighbor Policy\u201d initiated by the Roosevelt administration in 1933, these visits were designed to bolster pan-American alliances. However politically unifying Disney\u2019s encounters were meant to be, they yielded curious, even contradictory results: in a string of films released beginning in 1942, his animators introduced Jos\u00e9, or, more familiarly, \u201cZ\u00e9,\u201d Carioca, the \u201cBrazilian jitterbird.\u201d A cigar-smoking, soccer-loving parrot from Rio, Carioca embodied multiple cultural stereotypes, serving, in the words of Brazilian artist Rivane Neuenschwander (b. 1967), \u201cto crystallize the national image of the <em>malandro<\/em> (rascal).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since 1961 the character of Z\u00e9 Carioca has starred in a series of wildly popular Brazilian comic books, which Neuenschwander grew up reading. This complex figure\u2014conceived as an instrument of capitalist diplomacy but by now also a national symbol\u2014has inspired several bodies of work by the artist since 2004. For the series to which this piece belongs, she scrubs images and text from the original Carioca comics, leaving intact only the narrative\u2019s graphic architecture. She then enlarges these comic-book panels and transfers them to a wall, inviting members of the public to write or draw directly onto them. With this gesture, Neuenschwander substitutes self- and collective expression for ideology masquerading as popular culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stretching the expanse of the lobby, Rivane Neuenschwander&#8217;s Ze Carioca was installed over the course of several days.
