O dispositivo no documentário brasileiro do início do século XXI

Abstract

This research critically examines the contemporary brazilian documentaries of the early twenty-first century that used dispositif (apparatus) as performing and narrative strategies. This research’s objective is to investigate how such dispositif participate in the construction of the filmic narrative and what are the meaning effects produced by them. As the research hypothesis, it is considered that films using dispositif are open to chance, allowing events to hapen (événement). The methodological approach included the filmic analysis of the corpus works: Ação e Dispersão (2002) by Cesar Migliorin, Rua de Mão Dupla (2002), by Cao Guimarães and Saudade, vídeo-cartas para Cuba (2005) by Coraci Ruiz, in addition to occasionally examine other works from Cao Guimarães, Eduardo Coutinho, Kiko Goifman, Sandra Kogut and Coraci Ruiz. As a theoretical basis, authors such as Bill Nicholls and Christine Mello are studied among others, like Michel Foucault’s theory device and the Gilles Deleuze’s event theory. The main approach axis is took from the work of Cezar Migliorin which addresses both the concept of film-apparatus and the events logic
