Abstract(s)
A partir da indagação do que caracteriza o cinema queer contemporùneo, esta
dissertação se debruça sobre uma anålise das filmografias do/as realizador/as Andrew
Haigh, CĂ©line Sciamma e Dee Rees, em busca dos aspectos que podem ser definidores
de uma narrativa/estética/projeto queer na cinematografia atual. Tomando como
referĂȘncia o trabalho seminal da norte-americana B. Ruby Rich ao identificar o Novo
Cinema Queer nos anos 1990, a investigação usa a metodologia proposta pela Teoria
dos Cineastas para perceber, no discurso e nos filmes desse/as diretor/as, como a
produção recente elabora e reflete cinematograficamente sobre as formas de existĂȘncia
queer no espaço-tempo contemporùneo.
Com esse objetivo, a anĂĄlise enfoca trĂȘs longas-metragem especĂficos: Weekend, de
Haigh; Retrato de uma Jovem em Chamas, de Sciamma; e Pariah, de Rees. Ao colocĂĄlos em diĂĄlogo uns com os outros, com as falas e demais obras dos trĂȘs cineastas, e com
os conceitos da Teoria Queer, a pesquisa busca demonstrar como o trio de realizador/as
coloca em cena protagonistas gays e lĂ©sbicas que narrativizam suas experiĂȘncias
pessoais, por meio da criação artĂstica, como forma de reinvenção e resistĂȘncia Ă s
limitaçÔes hétero e homonormativas das realidades em que se inserem.
Por meio da anålise da encenação desses queers que criam, a dissertação tenta chegar a
uma definição do que constitui um ato de criação queer. Com base no conceito
proposto, procura argumentar como vårios exemplares da produção queer
contemporĂąnea tambĂ©m sĂŁo construĂdos em torno de protagonistas LGBTQIA+ que
buscam atravessar e desestabilizar as limitaçÔes do espaço-tempo em que se encontram
por meio do ato de autonarrativização e de criação artĂstica.
Based on the question of what characterizes contemporary queer cinema, this thesis proposes an analysis of the filmographies of directors Andrew Haigh, CĂ©line Sciamma, and Dee Rees, in search of the aspects that may define a queer narrative/aesthetic/project in film today. Taking as reference B. Ruby Richâs seminal work in identifying New Queer Cinema during the 1990s, the investigation uses the methodology proposed by the Filmmakersâ Theory in order to grasp in these directorsâ discourses and movies how the current production elaborates and reflects on the modes of queer existence in contemporary time-space. To that end, the analysis focuses on three specific features: Haighâs Weekend; Sciammaâs Portrait of a Lady on Fire; and Reesâs Pariah. By putting them in dialogue with each other, as well as with the filmmakersâ reflections and other movies, and with the concepts of the Queer Theory, the research shows how the three directors shape their films around gay and lesbian protagonists who narrativize their personal experiences, through artistic creation, as a way of reinventing and resisting the homo and heteronormative limitations of the realities in which they operate. Through the analysis of the mise-en-scĂšne of these creative queers, the thesis tries to come up with a definition of what constitutes a queer act of creation. Based on the proposed concept, it finally argues how several examples of contemporary queer cinema also focus on LGBTQIA+ protagonists who manage to cross and destabilize the limitations of the time-space they are in through the act of self-narrativization and artistic creation.
