O neocolonialismo em War in peace (2007) e Beasts of no nation (2015): uma visão crítica das cinematografias do Ocidente.

Abstract

In this present dissertation, the objective is to comprehend and present the narrative manifestations about the neocolonialism in two movies that disserts about the violence and the war at the african continent: War in peace (Wim Wenders, 2007) and Beasts of no nation (Cary Fukunaga, 2015). Specifically, we will analyze the subject based on the sociology of cinema, that studies the cinema as a creative work developed in certain conditions, as the possible subjugation to the critics or to the film industry, and the current thought in the society, politically and historically. We intend to make a contrast with the two selected films, that presents the entrenched violence as an entertainment or way of life in the war zone and in the peace zone, to realize how the evidences of a society historically marked by the colonialism have been manifesting (N'KRUMAH, 1965; FANON, 1968), through the perspective of identity studies (HALL, 2005; FRASER, 2007; WOODWARD, 2005) and about the contemporary neocolonialism (BHABHA, 1998; SAID, 1990). By addressing cinema and sociology to look into neocoloniality, we understand that its area of influence in the History of mankind is broad, but that the symbolic universe is also a space of resistence and reflection.
