An in-depth look at Brazilian culture in the series that collects the best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from around the world. In the second half of the twentieth century Brazil made extraordinary contributions to music, sport, architecture. From bossa nova to acrobatic soccer to the daring architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa, the country seemed to embody a new, original vision of modernity, at once fluid, agile, and complex. Seen from abroad, the victory of the far right in the 2018 elections was a rude awakening that suddenly turned the Brazilian dream into a nightmare. For locals, however, illusions had started fading long ago, amid paralyzing corruption, environmental degradation, racial discrimination, and escalating violence. Luckily Brazilians have not lost their desire to fight, minorities are still determined to assert their rights, and, now that the glorious past is dead and buried, a desire to rebuild for the future is emerging. Today the challenge of telling the story of this extraordinary country consists in finding its enduring vitality amid the apparent melancholy. “The Passenger readers will find none of the typical travel guide sections on where to eat or what sights to see. Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation.” —Publishers Weekly “Much more than a travel guide, The Passenger is indispensable for any reader who is curious about the world.” —Il Venerdì In this volume: Order and Progress? by Jon Lee Anderson Funk, Pride and Prejudice by Alberto Riva On the River, I Was King by Eliane Brum Also: the road that dissects the Amazon; the TV tycoon who shaped Brazilian history; the neo-Pentecostal community that is winning the hearts (and wallets) of Brazilians; politicized samba dancers, idealist gangsters, and much more . . .

Order and Progress? by Jon Lee Anderson Pride, Prejudice, and Funk by Alberto Riva I Was King of The River by Eliane Brum In second half of the 20th century Brazil made extraordinary contributions to music, sport, architecture. From "bossa nova," to acrobatic soccer, to the daring architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa, the country seemed to embody a new, original vision of modernity, at once "fluid, agile, and complex." Seen from abroad, the victory of the far right in the 2018 elections was a rude awakening that suddenly turned the Brazilian dream into a nightmare. For locals, however, illusions had started fading long ago, amid paralyzing corruption, environmental degradation, racial discrimination, and escalating violence. Luckily, Brazilians are still willing to fight in order to build a better future. Today the challenge of telling the story of this extraordinary country consists in finding its enduring vitality amid the apparent melancholy.

¿Orden y progreso?, de Jon Lee Anderson; Funk, orgullo y prejuicio, de Alberto Riva; En el río, yo era un rey, de Eliane Brum. Y además: la carretera que cruza la Amazonia, el magnate de TV que escribió la historia del país, la Iglesia neopentecostal que conquista el corazón y la billetera de los brasileños, bailarines de samba politizados, narcos idealistas y mucho más... --------- La década de 1950 llegaba a su fin cuando, en el álbum Chega de saudade, de João Gilberto, apareció por primera vez la expresión bossa nova. Y entre 1958 y 1970, una generación de cracs encantó al mundo con un modo nuevo, funambulesco y explosivo de jugar al fútbol; la misma época en que Oscar Niemeyer y Lúcio Costa perfilaron contra el azul del cielo y el verde de la selva la mayor utopía de hormigón armado del siglo xx: Brasilia. Música, fútbol y arquitectura: los mayores aportes de Brasil a aquellos años de sueños y movimiento; un país que había encontrado su camino al futuro con «una modernidad fluida, ligera y a la vez compleja». El sueño se ha tornado en pesadilla y el mundo asiste impotente a la deforestación de la Amazonia, que ya a finales del pasado siglo se antojaba «infinita». Para los brasileños, sin embargo, la vida hacía tiempo que (no) se había adaptado a otros parámetros: una corrupción paralizante, el mito del país postracial desmentido por una evidente discriminación y un índice de violencia en aumento ininterrumpido durante décadas que otorga a Brasil la siniestra primacía en el número de asesinatos en términos absolutos. Afortunadamente, los brasileños no han perdido las ganas de luchar, ni las minorías las de hacer valer sus derechos. Y ahora que el glorioso pasado está muerto y enterrado, asoman las ganas de reconstruir el futuro. El reto de contar este país extraordinario hoy consiste en buscar en la tristeza la veta de alegría. Chega de saudade: basta de tristeza.

Commercial aviation in Brazil has been facing great changes in the past years, from the regulatory point of view to a competition perspective, given the increase in demand, revision of past legislation and the rise of new players in this market. The airline business has showed to be very dynamic in Brazil, with the rise and fall of a number of companies. One of them specifically, called VARIG – Portuguese acronym for Viação Aérea Rio-Grandense -, which stopped operating domestic and international routes in 2006, changed the market significantly, since it was the longest standing air company in the country and also the market leader. This scenario of disruption, after VARIG’s bankruptcy, gave room to the consolidation of other major companies already operating at that time – TAM and Gol -, as well as the emergence of Avianca Brazil and Azul, which absorbed part of the increasing demand for air transport in the country and placed this market into a new era of competition. All these factors combined with the flexibility given, due to revision of legislation - referring to prices and alliances, for example -, have transformed the way business in the industry are run. Hence the changes in the way air companies operate nowadays and provide different types of services. Thus, the purpose of this work is to understand what are the competitive advantages of the Brazilian airline companies to face the local competition, given the changes between 2008 and 2014 in this sector’s environment. In addition, this work aims to identify competitive changes with possible new entrants to this market in the future.
