Uma lembrança a Black Narcissus – construindo alteridade e desconstruindo erotismo

Abstract

Resumo Esta é uma reflexão sobre as estratégias discursivas que o filme britânico Black Narcissus(1946) utiliza quando lida com signos eróticos e raciais ao confrontar as culturas cristã e indiana no espaço colonialista na Era do Hollywood Production Code [“Código de Produção de Hollywood”]. Propomos um diálogo entre as premissas de Georges Bataille, Octavio Paz e Michel Foucault ao dissecarem o tema da sexualidade humana e seus mecanismos de repressão por diferentes perspectivas, enfatizando também a necessidade de expandirmos a temática do erotismo para além do par binário proibição/transgressão em sociedades não ocidentais e suas sutis gradações entre o sagrado e o profano.

LGBTQIA+ cinema and education: a literature review

“…During the reading of the selected articles, it was possible to verify that they involved the respective methods, being especially: film analysis (VENCHI, 2018;FISCHER, 2008;MENEZES, 1998;BESSA, 2017), documentary research (SILVA; TILIO, 2018;BESSA, 2007), discourse analysis (BREDER; COELHO, 2017), audiovisual production (FERREIRA, 2015), ethical analytical categories (PEREIRA, 2013), and critical analysis (OLIVEIRA; OLIVEIRA; IGUMA, 2007).…”

“…Using the method of film analysis, this topic will show the respective works found and how both articulate cinema, gender and sexuality in their discussions. Venchi (2018) addresses in his research the British film Black Narcisssus (1946):…”

“…In addition to personal numbness, talking about cinema in previous decades also includes a discussion of the consumable image industry and its links with censorship, in the manner of modern Western eroticism, or in the way that sexuality can be constructed by moving images. Venchi (2018) concludes that the respective work deals with characters and "their emotional and sexual conflicts in a colonial space" (VENCHI, 2018, p. 7), within a cinematographic sense that can only be displayed through an atmosphere censorship, which ends up repressing what could not be displayed at the time. Fischer (2008) exposes in his research the connection between the culture of success and sexuality, with the main objective of addressing the representation of childhood in the media, such as on TV and in the cinema, making an analysis of the film Little Miss Sunshine, from the perspective of authors such as Michel Foucault, Alain Badiou, Ismail Xavier and Jurandir Costa, "with an emphasis on the concepts of modes of subjectivity, film image and external subjectivity" (FISCHER, 2008, p. 47).…”
