Afetividades em enquadramentos: os discursos das experiências de lugaridade em o Senhor dos Anéis - a sociedade do anel

Abstract

Geography and Art interact since the beginning of the geographic science, but they came closer more vigorously during the Cultural Geography’s recovery process approach. The dynamics of this renovation allowed geographers - especially those humanists - to work with symbolic codes and representations of the world by Literature, Photography, Cinema etc. Cinematographic works, in particular, have gained significance for a geographic analyses. Notwithstanding, different understandings about the Cinema and consequently about the ways to analyze it, brought to films their own statute, escaping from the mimetic notion that film is a copy of reality. Nowadays, then, it is postulated that the Cinema is a way to present the world and, therefore, it is imbued with discourses about space. The Cinema is an important subject for the studies on perception and experience within space, place and arising affections which are held under the landscape language's aegis. Based on these assumptions, the aim here is to analyze how place, in its phenomenological-existential conception, manifests itself in the film The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), discussing about the relationship between Geography and Cinema, about place, as well as about the concept of landscape. Along with the bibliographic search, the hermeneutics procedure shapes the analysis of specific frames taken from the film and also some of the characters’ lines. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) presents a sense of place and experiences of the living in many and different environments, setting out a geographic discourse of an anti-modernist contente.
