VARGAS, Cláudio Pellini  and  MOREIRA, Antonio Flavio Barbosa. Narradores de javé: arguments to think about modernity. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.1, pp.161-175. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v37i1.18877.

This paper discusses the crisis of Modernity, using as a basis the issues raised in the movie Narradores de Javé, directed by Eliane Caffé. It can be asked: what kind of document registers the "truth"? Who can say what is and what is not "truth"? What is the difference between what is said and what is written? Can we find meaning without "method"? The movie provides valuable reflections on the existing conflict between the supposed modern scientism and its "post-modern" consequences.

Keywords : Modernity; Postmodernity; Meaning.
