Cidades insinuadas: uma análise das representações do espaço urbano em obras audiovisuais potiguares

Abstract

This study weaves meanings relations between the audiovisual representations of urban spaces and the dramatic actions found in the short films Janaína Colorida Feito o Céu (Babi Baracho, 2014, 15 min) and Sailor (Victor Ciríaco, 2014, 13 min). The objective was to identify and describe characteristics that cities assume when symbolized in fictional realities and that, in the movement of the subjective experience of representation/fruition, allow the emergence of new subjectivities directed to the represented spaces. For this, we constructed an interpretative web of the productions, which interweaves Morin (2014) and Armando Silva (2011) touching aspects related to the social imaginary. As specific perspectives on the urban space and subject, we seek contributions in the thinking of Massimo Canevacci and, once again, on Armando Silva (2011). The methodological procedures are part of a qualitative research of film analysis, which considers a set of observations made by Aumont and Marie (2004), Manuela Penafria (2003; 2009). Our analysis concluded that the urban environments, which become media reality through the enunciation of discourses composed by imagerysound elements, represent fragmented spaces with no specific geographic location, through which wander subjects equally shattered, which bring to the surface elements of a contemporary urbanity evidenced by ephemerality of relationships, by violence. We also perceive the possibility/willingness to re-signify urban spaces through the media.
