Territórios discursivos de gênero no cinema contemporâneo: representação de gênero através da direção de arte.

Abstract

The work aims to reflect on the gender identities visual construction and representation in contemporary cinema from movies using the infant universe to relativize what is meant by male and female and question the accepted and perpetrated gender conventions. In this sense, the focus of this research focuses on Tomboy films (Céline Sciamma, 2011) and Ma vie en rose, (Alain Berliner, 1997) and relations that can be established between the protagonists of these films. It is from the gender and sexuality displacement and movement idea that the focus of the research is directed to the representation of subjects that build their gender identities in transit or in the interstices space between what is usually called male and female, somehow undermining the dichotomy that governs these two poles. The analysis clipping seeks to understand the art direction’s work in audiovisual and his creative process and how it builds the discourse of gender. Therefore, I seek to analyze the characters Laure / Mikaël and Ludovic visual construction’s and the spaces in which they are inserted within the narrative, from an aesthetic-discursive perspective and creating relations with gender and sexuality studies that form the theoretical research axis.
