This article explores the possibilities of analyzing primary sources in the context of a master's thesis still in progress. The research entitled Modern Dialogues: Lina Bo Bardi and Caravana Farkas aims to identify intellectual dialogues between writings produced by architect Lina Bo Bardi and two sets of documentaries known as Caravana Farkas. The aforementioned films are chronologically and thematically related to interactions between the filmmakers and Lina Bo Bardi and to the architect's written and curatorial activities regarding the value of artisanal means of production originated from popular traditions of the northeast of Brazil. The investigated documentation corresponds to nine issues of a Sunday section of the newspaper Diario de Noticias in Salvador, edited by Bardi and published over two months in 1958, and a Brazilian short film produced by Thomaz Farkas and directed by Paulo Gil Soares in 1969. Particular aspects of the material will be explored, such as the identities of the page’s collaborators, questions related to Lina Bo Bardi's graphic design proposal and part of the written content: the circumscribed set of passages directly addressed to a group of students that filmmaker Paulo Gil Soares was part of and some excerpts focusing on themes of the analyzed short film.
