Narrativa interconectada: uma escrita geográfica pelo cinema brasileiro contemporâneo

Abstract

This dissertation departs from narratological studies to present a brief investigation around the narrative construction of films in contemporary Brazilian cinema. It will be analyzed, in special, those structured by an interconnected writing model, a discourse responsible for interweaving multiple protagonist characters in their plots. For this, three geographical axes of greater expression on the national scene were selected: Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco and São Paulo, represented cinematographically in O primeiro dia (1999), Amarelo manga (2003) and Não por acaso (2007) – respectively released on over a decade. It is intended to address here how the multifocal mosaic of its narrative raises questions intrinsic to its social spaces, divided between violence, stratification and individual, and how this characteristic reflects on the search for a supposed idea of identity, spatialized amid the narrative threads plurality of its characters. The main objective of this research is to allude to some of the precepts raised by this network narrative system through the film analysis of the films mentioned. Thus, it is possible to achieve as a result, through the relationship between these works, a set of narrative codes directly permeated by correlated notions between the social fabric and the representation of cities.
