SOUSA, Adriano Carvalho Araújo e. The gravity of image: art and memory in contemporaneity. Galáxia (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, n.30, pp.200-202. ISSN 1982-2553.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1982-25542015205.

This paper analyzes the participation of the cinema in Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernesheld in Paris in 1925. Since the 1920s, by establishing itself as a means of mass communication, cinema has served more and more as a "showcase" in which the nation could project national virtues to be celebrated in a scenario marked by the imperialist race. In this particular case, the discourses of modernity and tradition reconciled themselves to celebrate the French national character within a framework of growing cultural affirmation of the cinema.
