Abstract

In this text, Susana de Sousa Dias reflects about the origyn of her movie
Fordlandia Malaise, result of a residency in the city created by Ford Motor Company in the Amazon Forest. Poposing to think the city of Fordlândia beyond the dicotomy between
“an utopian city” and “a ghot city”, the filmmaker is interested in what Enzo Traverso calls “weak memories”, and she uses the concept of “futurability” – as proposed by Franco Berardi – that incorporate the fighting power of a people against their possible destiny.
