Luiz Carlos Maciel - Encontros

Luiz Carlos Maciel has been called the guru of Brazilian counterculture. His column Underground, published in Pasquim at the turn of the 1960s-70s, was a generational milestone, updating the thinking of Brazilian youth with the most compelling issues of the time. Maciel participated in practically all the cultural events of the period, from the new cinema to the alternative press, and tells his trajectory and ideas in the interviews gathered in this volume of the collection Encontros.

"When the counterculture emerged, this libertarian perspective was very strong. The counterculture had no primer. Where is the Bible of the counterculture? Where is the "Communist Manifesto" of the counterculture? Where is the "Interpretation of Dreams" of the counterculture? It doesn't exist. The counterculture was a group in fusion. Without ideological or philosophical predetermination of any kind."
