Practising Inclusive Citation in Modern Languages Research: The View from Brazilian Film Studies

Authors:

Abstract

As Modern Languages researchers and teachers we pride ourselves on our ability to read (and view) material beyond the Anglo-American canon, and we make use of this ability to argue that we offer fresh perspectives on theory and practice within the broad range of sub-disciplines that our subject area encompasses. As Modern Languages researchers, inclusive citation should, then, be our bread and butter. But to what extent are we really contributing to “decolonised” knowledge creation? How much attention, for example, are we paying to calls to #CiteBlackWomen? Taking as a case study my recent explorations of race and gender in Brazilian cinema, I offer some reflections on the impact that citing more inclusively has made on my understanding of Brazilian culture more broadly.
