Even though the road movie ‘’Central Do Brasil’’ contains a vast amount of gender stereotypical references, the movie manages to counter these traditional narratives in a subtle but critical manner. In the initial scenes of the movie, one is under the impression that the women portrayed in the movie are not of importance to the narrative of the movie.

Crusoe's journey from a mundane life to becoming a plantation owner and eventually a "Governour" of the island highlights the importance of individualism and the pursuit of one's own dreams. The novel serves as a reminder that sometimes the greatest achievements come
La Cultura y la Mercancía RESUMEN: Adorno and Horkheimer adopted the notion of the fetishism of commodities for the analysis of art and culture.
