Full textThis paper examines film star Leonardo DiCaprio’s rhetorical function as it is manifested within the climate discourse. The analysis is effected with especial focus on two of his films which by this paper are considered particularly relevant considering their productional concurrence with DiCaprio’s year as the UN’s Messenger of peace during which he chose to direct attention toward the climate issue: The revenant (2015) and Before the flood (2016). Both movies are herein considered discourses, likewise semiotic texts. This analysis is effected with the help of several analytical tools and theoretical perspectives. The research fields of climate communication and celebrity studies are important theoretical views for the study, while the narrative concept of “melodrama” and Lloyd F. Bitzer’s “rhetorical situation” are the most important analytical tools. Also, the western genre and its adherent formation of myths are payed a lot of attention, not least because one of the analyzed movies, The revenant, is a western. Melodramas, whose rhetorical function is emphasized, is connected to both the climate discourse and the western genre as well as George Lakoff’s thesis of climate communication which shortly and simply boils down to the view that appealing to feelings rather than reason is the most effective way to inform people about global warming. Furthermore, DiCaprio’s persona is discussed in relation to these discourses and concepts. The analyses of the paper show that the concept of melodrama is central both for the climate discourse and the analyzed movies. And furthermore, that DiCaprio’s function within the climate discourse play into these mentioned aspects as well. Doubts are however raised as to whether this necessarily means that the rhetorical discourses (i.e. the movies), and likewise DiCaprio, succeed in answering their respective situations. The results of the analysis paradoxically suggest that the melodramatic climate discourse, as it is communicated by the two movies, is trumped by other, even more melodramatic discourses.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the claim that homosexual men should not be represented in tragedy, because of the genres masculine ideal. Instead, the representation should take place in melodrama since this genre relates to feminine values. The text analysis of two plays, the tragedy The River and the Mountain (Uganda, 2012) and the melodrama The Boys in the Band (USA, 1968), shows that tragedy uses an essentialist (biological) view on sexual identity while the melodrama uses a constructionist (cultural and social) view. Knowledge about gay culture cannot be seen as a necessity for a gay identity. Tragedy should therefore not be dismissed as a politically weak genre for the representation of homosexual men. What is missing from tragedy is the depiction of sexual desire between men, something that has been politically important in the history of theatre about male homosexuality.

Resumo: Nesta tese procuramos seguir o caminho percorrido pelo melodrama em Portugal ao longo do século XIX, investigando as suas ocorrências no teatro português desde o início do século - quando ali se instalava o Romantismo -, passando pelo período do Ultrarromantismo, quando o gênero ganhou mais relevo, até chegar à época do Decadentismo-Simbolismo, quando as formas melodramáticas ainda se revelavam vigorosas, embora com alterações que tentamos esmiuçar. Investigamos o melodrama - com os seus conteúdos e as suas formas específicas - tal como se estabeleceu no Portugal oitocentista e como se desenvolveu ao longo desse período, procurando compreender as relações deste gênero dramático com o contexto sócio-cultural que o estimulou - afinal, a força do melodrama perdurou ao longo de Oitocentos. Verificamos qual a contribuição de Almeida Garrett enquanto introdutor do teatro romântico em Portugal, lutando por uma produção nacional de qualidade, susceptível de elevar o gosto e a cultura do público e, portanto, contrário à presença do melodrama, mas em cujas peças encontramos vestígios deste gênero. Considerando-se que a pesquisa abrangeu um período bastante extenso, utilizamos as seguintes obras como textos paradigmáticos: O cativo de Fez (1839), de Silva Abranches; Os dois renegados (1839), de Mendes Leal; O fratricida (1844), de Guerra Leal; O último acto (1859), de Camilo Castelo Branco e, finalmente, de D. João da Câmara, O pântano (1894) e A Rosa Enjeitada (1901)
Abstract: In this thesis, we tried to follow the way through the melodrama in Portugal throughout the XIX century, by investigating its occurences in the Portuguese theatre since the beginning of that century - at the time that the Romanticism established itself there -, going through the period of the Ultra-romanticism, when the genre got more notorious, until it gets to the period of the Decadentism-Symbolism, when the melodramatic features still revealed themselves vigorous, nevertheless under some changes which we tried to examine in detail. We investigated the melodrama - with its contents and its specific features - such as how it established itself in the Portugal eighties, and how it developed itself throughout this period, trying to understand the relation between this dramatic genre and the social-cultural context which stimulated it - at last, the strength of the melodrama lasted through the Eighties. We checked what the contribution of Almeida Garrett was as an introducer of the romantic theatre in Portugal, struggling for a national production of quality, susceptible to lift up the taste and the culture of the public hence opposed to the presence of the melodrama. However, we could found traces of this genre in his plays.- Taking into consideration that the research comprised a considerable extensive period, we used the following masterpieces as paradigmatic texts: O cativo de Fez (1839), by Silva Abranches; Os dois renegados (1839), by Mendes Leal; O fratricida (1844), by Guerra Leal; O último acto (1859), by Camilo Castelo Branco and, finally, by D.

Full textCe document traite de l'introduction et de l'impact du mélodrame français au Brésil au XIXe siècle. Cherchant à clarifier la trajectoire de cette forme théâtrale dans le pays, l'étude veut recueillir et systématiser des diverses informations, à partir de la récupération de sources historiques et matériel théorique, publiée dans le pays et à l'étranger, notamment en France, où le mélodrame est né. À cette fin, une série de recherches ont été faites dans les catalogues des bibliothèques nationales et étrangères, permettant d'organiser des références bibliographiques, consulter les ouvrages originaux dramaturgiques et effectuer des recherches à propos de l'utilisation du terme mélodrame et à propos de la mise en scène de pièces mélodramatiques écrites par des auteurs français de mélodrames du XIXe siècle. Les résultats sous-tendent l'élaboration du texte de la thèse, qui compare des différents systèmes culturels (France et Brésil) et veut comprendre les implications de la mise en place de cette forme théâtrale dans le domaine social et dans le domaine littéraire, selon la compréhension que la littérature dramatique ne se limite pas au langage verbal enregistré dans les pièces. En ce sens, cette étude présente un aperçu de l'art dramatique, spectacles, public et commentaires sur pièces et esthétique mélodramatique, présente dans les discours régulièrement parus dans la presse, comme un registre de l imaginaire collectif de la population. Ainsi, il est prévu de contribuer à la compréhension de ce phénomène associé avec le contexte particulier de sa réception au Brésil, dans cette importante période historique du développement social dans le pays.
Este trabalho trata da introdução e da repercussão do melodrama francês no Brasil, no século XIX. Visando elucidar a trajetória dessa forma teatral no contexto brasileiro, o estudo concentrou-se em reunir e sistematizar informações diversas e originais, provenientes da recuperação de fontes históricas e de material teórico publicado no país e no exterior, especialmente na França, berço do melodrama. Para tanto, foi realizada uma série de pesquisas em catálogos de bibliotecas nacionais e estrangeiras, que possibilitaram a organização de referenciais bibliográficos, a consulta de obras dramatúrgicas originais e levantamentos, em periódicos brasileiros do século XIX, acerca do uso do termo melodrama e acerca da encenação, em nossos palcos, de peças melodramáticas escritas pelos principais autores franceses de melodramas dos Oitocentos. Os resultados obtidos com essas pesquisas orientaram a comparação entre sistemas culturais distintos (França e Brasil) e a análise das implicações do estabelecimento dessa forma teatral no campo social e no campo literário, conforme o entendimento de que a literatura dramática não se limita à linguagem verbal registrada nas peças. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo apresenta um panorama sobre dramaturgia, espetáculos, público e comentários em relação às peças e à estética melodramática, presentes em discursos regularmente veiculados pela imprensa, como um registro do imaginário coletivo da população. Desse modo, espera-se contribuir para a compreensão deste fenômeno, associado ao contexto peculiar de sua recepção no Brasil, tendo em vista que a relação entre as obras encenadas nos palcos brasileiros e seu público acompanha e reflete a produção artística neste importante período histórico de transformação social no país.

Melodrama here is taken beyond a definition as theatrical or cinematic genre. From the concept of melodramatic imagination, by Peter Brooks, this study follows the main changes that led Europe from the Middle Ages to the capitalist world in order to present the foundations of a distinctive modern imagination whose mode of seeing the world is visual and fictionally translated in melodrama. Because of its far-reaching and massive presence in cultural production it is important to evaluate how melodrama represents reality; which treatment and valuation are given to certain topics and phenomena that daily takes our attention and interfere in our social and political existence. Under this perspective we develop a study on the representation of marginality from the aesthetic resources of the melodramatic imagination, which is based on the analysis of the films Pixote - a lei do mais fraco (1980) and Linha de Passe (2008).
O melodrama aqui é tomado para além de uma definição como gênero teatral ou cinematográfico. A partir do conceito de imaginação melodramática, de Peter Brooks, faz-se um percurso pelas principais mudanças que levaram o ocidente da Idade Média ao mundo capitalista a fim de apresentar os fundamentos de uma mentalidade caracteristicamente moderna cujo modo de ver o mundo se traduz visual e ficcionalmente no melodrama. Devido ao seu grande alcance e presença maciça nas produções culturais se torna importante avaliar como o melodrama representa a realidade; qual o tratamento e valoração dados a certos temas e fenômenos que nos tomam cotidianamente e que interferem na nossa existência social e política. Nessa perspectiva é que se desenvolve um estudo sobre a representação da marginalidade a partir da imaginação melodramática, baseado na análise dos filmes Pixote – a lei do mais fraco (1980) e Linha de Passe (2008).

For a long time, the notion of good and evil was intrinsic to melodrama, which ended up causing it to be seen as an alienating matrix for already giving the viewer a point of view to be followed, that of the hero and, at the same time, a point of view to b e denied, that of the villain. However, it is necessary to investigate the possibilities of a melodrama that is not rooted in representing morals to be followed, but morals to be reflected by the viewers themselves. In the first moment, this article presen ts a study about the birth of the melodrama. The connection between victim and oppressor and the dichotomy that exists in the elemental paradigm of the melodrama also will be purpoused. Lastly, it will be investigated the possibillity of criating melodrama that are not fundamented in the judeo -christian culture; for that, it will be made a study of the movie Ali: Fear eats the soul and The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant.
Por muito tempo, a noção de bem e mal foi intrínseca ao melodrama, o que acabou, então, por fazê- lo ser visto como uma matriz alienante por já dá ao espectador um ponto de vista a ser seguido, o do herói, e, ao mesmo tempo, um ponto de vista a ser negado, o do vilão. Contudo, cabe investigar as possibilidades de um melodrama que não esteja enraizado em representar uma moral a ser seguida. Mas sim uma moral a ser refletida pelo próprio espectador. Em um primeiro momento, o artigo apresentará um estudo sobre o surgimento do melodrama. A relação entre vitima e opressor e a dicotomia existente nos paradigmas elementares do melodrama também serão objetos a serem problematizados. Por fim, será investigada a possibilidade de criação de melodramas que não estejam fundamentados na cultura maniqueista; para isto, será feito um estudo dos filmes O Medo Corroí a Alma e Lágrimas amargas de Petra Von Kant.

Eça de Queiroz é o autor mais representativo do realismo em Portugal no século XIX. Sua produção é composta de vários textos ficcionais e não-ficcionais, mas são os seus romances que lhe dão maior popularidade. No entanto, a qualidade da originalidade, assim como a sintonia com o momento histórico e estético no qual está inserido, permite observar outros textos com maior atenção. Dentre esses textos, este estudo focaliza os contos, textos literários breves cuja diegese está em harmonia absoluta com a composição narrativa para surtir o efeito de coerência e sedução junto ao leitor. Nesse sentido, brevidade, densidade dramática e linguagem sedutora são recursos importantes que Eça utiliza com competência em seus contos. A leitura deles revela que o tema amoroso é recorrente em quatro desses contos, entre os doze publicados na primeira edição, datada de 1902, além de mais um título de publicação póstuma. Neles, observa-se que o amor é operacionalizado em motivos próprios do espetáculo melodramático, conforme o expediente do teatro praticado nos palcos franceses e portugueses oitocentistas. A hipótese deste estudo toma essas idéias e sobre elas se desenvolve: examinar a adesão na narrativa breve dos modelos e comportamentos do melodrama em cinco títulos: “Singularidades de uma rapariga loura”, “Um poeta lírico”, “No moinho”, “José Matias” e “Um dia de chuva”. Constata-se, então, que as narrativas se servem de um enredo e percurso melodramático, valorizando mais ou menos certos aspectos ou tendências melodramáticas, tanto na forma quanto no conteúdo, envolvendo o leitor e monitorando suas emoções, com uma preocupação moralizante e didática.

Thus, brevity, dramatic density and seductive language are important resources which Eça competently employs in his short stories. Their reading reveals that the love theme is recurrent in four of these short stories, among the twelve published in the first edition, dated 1902, besides another title of posthumous publication. In them one observes that love is operationalised in motifs which are characteristic of the melodramatic spectacle, in accordance with the expedient of the theatre practised in the nineteenth-century French and Portuguese stages. The hypothesis of this study takes these ideas and develops from them: examining the adherence, in the short narrative, to the models and behaviour of the melodrama in five titles: “Singularidades de uma rapariga loura”, “Um poeta lírico”, “No moinho”, “José Matias” and “Um dia de chuva”. One notices, then, that the narratives make use of a melodramatic plot and course, thus valuing more or less certain melodramatic aspects or tendencies, in both form and content, involving the reader and monitoring their emotions, with a moralising and didactic concern.

Full textAs the popularity of Web 2.0 grows, the relationship between the users generating the content of the site and the groups and companies that own these sites is coming into focus. While in previous years, users often were passive users of websites, now they are actively involved in the sites, providing the content that is consumed. This creates a relationship that can be fraught with conflict as all involved have differing ideas of how these sites should function.
By analyzing three incidents in the history of LiveJournal, an online blogging and social communication site, this thesis explored how these communities of users and the organizations that own these sites interact. The information for this analysis was gathered through online participant observation, survey, and systematic archival mining, covering the time period from the founding of the site in 1999 until early 2012. I analyzed how the term "community" is operationalized by these stakeholders, how these communities formed and functioned, and how ideas of ownership impacted these interactions and relationships. By understanding these issues, companies and communities can find ways to build partnerships to sustain and improve their sites rather than being locked in ongoing conflict.
Hunting, John. "Affect, melodrama and cinema : as essay on embodied passivity." Thesis, McGill University, 2006. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=100626.
Full textAffect or "embodied passivity," Levinas explains, is irreducible to phenomenological notions of intentionality, psychoanalytic conceptions of psychic investment or cognitive appraisals of psychic processing. To be a body is to be exposed to wounding but it is also a naIve agreement to the conditions of its sustentation. To be a body, in short, is to be capable of being affected. For Levinas this passive relation to what is other is the condition of an ethical responsibility that is absolute. Levinas's notion of embodied passivity, however, has aesthetic implications about which he was deeply ambiguous. Hence it is in the context of an aesthetics of embodied passivity, largely unexplored by Levinas, that the thesis examines melodrama's focus on affect and the specifically cinematic expressions of embodied passivity.
Melodrama's accessible address, however, reduces the Other, as Levinas would say, to caricatures, mobilizes affect in the direction of a "monopathic" response and disavows, in the process, the encounter with alterity to which it appeals. Nonetheless melodrama "fleshes out the cliche" or exploits the stereotype in the service of having, precisely, some affect. Such is the melodramatic privilege of enlivenment over the circumstances of its orchestration. Hence it is possible to appraise melodrama's heightened orchestrations of style, its recourse to emphasis and its enduring appeals to suffering and happiness, as prevailing testimony to the (unspeakable) nature of the body's irreducible vulnerability. Melodrama's elemental if simplistic vision is that affect matters absolutely.

This work has the objective to analyze the journalistic contemporary narratives in Folha de S.Paulo newspaper and the interface with the melodrama and the serial publication issued in the newspapers from the end of the XIX century to the beginning of the XX century. The newspaper conveys news, not only in the referential way but similar to the seriated narratives way.The printed media does not work in real time like the television, and that makes difficult for the reader the attendance of the facts. That makes us inquire why, nowadays, the seriated narratives are dominant in the television media and why they became a re-encoded paradigm. Why do these articles remain in the reader s memory? To look for answers to these questions, it is necessary the diachronic study of the journalism and how the serial publication structure migrates for other media, the television mostly. In some journalistic programs, the emphasis relapses on the melodramatic gender and the serial publication. For that, the studies of Marlyse Meyer, Thomasseau, and Huppes are essential. Also Morin, Gruzinski, Laplantine, Amálio Pinheiro, Martín-Barbero and Iuri Lotman, through the semiotics of the culture, substantiate this work. Lotman starts from the concept of what text is the least unity of the culture and it has internal definite organization. The journalism, like text of the culture, has distinctive aspects, but while mixing codes it interbreeds and produces new messages to different readers. The Russian theorist points out three functions of the cultural text that corroborate with this research: the communicative function refers itself to the organization of the laws of the language; the creative function that produces the dynamic of the culture and when the text are translated and transmitted into another representational system, they transform themselves into re-encoded messages; and the third function is related to the culture memory. Other concepts of the semiotics of culture like the culture codes, system that shape the culture, border, will base this work. Halbwachs and Zumthor help to reflect about memory. For the first one, the memory allows to remake and to rebuild experiences tested previously and the individual memory is related to the collective memory. For Zumthor, memory and oblivion produce a dynamic created with new codes. This makes possible the substitution of a text for others and this transformation is associated to the selection and fixation of aspects to be maintained. The journalism dramatizes many facts, rescuing elements of the culture to which seem to be present only in other media, making it become a half-breed code. The transformation of the piece of news in serial publication is predominant in the current press and the journalistic narrative is the paradigm reencoded
O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as narrativas jornalísticas contemporâneas no jornal Folha de S.Paulo e a aproximação/comparação dessas matérias com o melodrama e a estrutura folhetinesca do final do século XIX e início do século XX. O jornal veicula notícias, não somente de forma referencial, mas semelhantes a narrativas seriadas. A mídia impressa não trabalha em tempo real como a televisão e isso dificulta ao leitor o acompanhamento do fato. Isso nos instiga a questionar por que as narrativas seriadas que surgiram com e nos folhetins e hoje são dominantes na mídia televisual, tornaram-se paradigma recodificado no jornalismo. Por que estas matérias permanecem na memória do leitor? Para buscar algumas respostas, faz-se necessário um estudo diacrônico do jornalismo e como a estrutura folhetinesca migrou para outras mídias, a televisão principalmente, pois, em alguns programas jornalísticos, a ênfase recai sobre o melodramático e o folhetinesco. Para retomar estes paradigmas os estudos de Marlyse Meyer, Thomasseau e Huppes são essenciais. Também Morin, Gruzinski, Laplantine, Amálio Pinheiro, Martín-Barbero e Iuri Lotman, por meio da semiótica da cultura, fundamentam esta pesquisa. O teórico russo parte do conceito de que texto é a unidade mínima da cultura e tem organização interna definida. O jornalismo, como texto da cultura, possui traços distintivos, mas ao mesclar códigos, hibridiza-se e gera novas mensagens a diferentes leitores. Lotman aponta três funções do texto cultural que corroboram com esta pesquisa. A comunicativa, marcada pela organização das leis da língua; a geradora de sentidos, que proporciona a dinâmica da cultura e quando os textos são traduzidos e transmitidos em outros sistemas sígnicos, transformam-se em mensagens recodificadas, e a terceira ligada à memória da cultura. Esta se relaciona com textos de outras épocas. Outros conceitos da semiótica da cultura como códigos culturais, sistemas modalizantes, fronteira vão fundamentar esta pesquisa. Halbwachs e Zumthor auxiliam a refletir sobre memória. Para o primeiro, a memória permite refazer, reconstruir experiências vivenciadas anteriormente, a memória individual está relacionada à memória coletiva. Para Zumthor, memória e esquecimento geram uma dinâmica recriadora. Isto possibilita a substituição de um texto por outros e esta transformação está associada à seleção e fixação de aspectos a serem mantidos. O jornalismo dramatiza muitos fatos, resgatando elementos da cultura que pareciam estar presentes somente em outras mídias o que o torna um código mestiço. A folhetinização da notícia é, assim, a tônica nos jornais contemporâneos e a narrativa jornalística, paradigma recodificado

Full textEste trabalho trata de um paralelo entre a melodia musical e o movimento corporal do ator. Propõe que seja feita uma releitura do movimento corporal do ator como se fosse uma linha melódica, para, a partir daí, o corpo do ator em movimento ser percebido como uma melodia cênica. As analogias e correspondências entre melodia musical e a movimentação do corpo do ator vem a ser um possível recurso para a ampliação de um olhar sobre o ator que se movimenta em cena. A linha melódica possui uma sintaxe elaborada e detalhada que pode contribuir muito para uma análise eficiente do movimentocorporal. Como parte desse universo, o presente estudo evidencia acumplicidade entre o desenho melódico e o desenho do movimento corporal do ator, por meio das relações entre funções harmônicas e ações básicas dos movimentos, inflexões e fatores de movimento, e ligações entre o gesto, o ato e o movimento. O trabalho se divide em três partes principais: Primeiramente, foram reunidas bibliografias especificas da música e da linguagem para uma discussão histórica e teórica sobre a linha melódica; em seguida, foram discutidos os aspectos do corpo e seu movimento na história e por meio dereferenciais bibliográficos históricos e de teorias teatrais; e finalmente, aterceira parte, foi dedicada à análise das propriedades da melodia e do corpo, traçando paralelos entre elas. Como resultado dessas discussões, foi percebido uma forma de ler o movimento corporal como uma linha melódica, proporcionando-lhe um status de melodia cênica.

Men's tears are considered rare, and women's tears are considered profusive. Thus, we tend to think of tearjerkers and melodrama as the province of weepy women viewers. However, if we look back at the last several decades of Hollywood filmmaking, melodramas focused on men--or "male weepies"--have been a steady staple of American cinema. This dissertation explores cycles of male melodramas since 1969, placing them in their socio-historical contexts and examining the ways that they participate in public discourses about men, masculinity, and gender roles. Melodrama's focus on victims, bids for virtue, and idealizations of not how things are, but how they should be, have made it a fitting and flexible mode for responding to the changing social landscape of America since the rights movements of the 1960s. Specifically, these films consider both the ways that white capitalist patriarchy has circumscribed the public and private lives of men and the ways that advancements of women and racial minorities are impacting (white) men's lives. This study analyzes the rhetorical effects of these films through both textual evidence and popular reception. Chapters are organized by chronology and subgenre, discussing buddy films of the late 1960s and early 1970s (Midnight Cowboy, The Last Detail, and Scarecrow), paternal melodramas of the late 1970s and early 1980s (The Great Santini, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Table for Five), films of sensitive men in the early 1990s (The Prince of Tides, Regarding Henry, and Philadelphia), and black male weepies from the 1990s and 2000s (Boyz in the Hood, Antwone Fisher, John Q, and The Pursuit of Happyness). The epilogue also considers the developing genre of the bromance, a hybrid of melodrama and comedy. By classifying and analyzing these films as male melodramas, this dissertation challenges both the popular denigrating view that tearjerkers are "chick flicks," and the continued gender bifurcation within film studies' work on melodrama as a narrative mode, which tends to treat weepies as a female form of melodrama and action films as a male form of melodrama. While individual subgenres have received some critical attention, this dissertation is one of the first works to look at male weepies collectively. Putting the spotlight on male weepies reveals Hollywood's interest in gender and the emotional lives of men, though the films display a mix of progressive and conservative strains, often common in Hollywood filmmaking. Specifically, these weepies tend to question and often even reject traditional masculine ideals, and thus exhibit some forms of gender "liberation"; at the same time that they show men suffering under patriarchy and even the pressure to be powerful, these films also shore that power up for men by never forfeiting it. As such, these films reveal the dangers of Hollywood "doing" gender critique: however inadvertently, they contain feminist, anti-racist, and anti-homophobic challenges and re-inscribe the various privileges of characters (in terms of gender, race, sexuality, and often class). However, the films also dramatize the ability of people to change and to empathize with others, and often invite the viewer to do so, even across gender and racial lines. In this way, male melodramas reveal a complex response to social changes; they are marked by an interest in men changing and a more equitable society, even as fully giving up privilege seems difficult.

Full textThe historical melodrama Four days in September (Bruno Barreto, 1997) and the documentary Hércules 56 (Silvio Da-Rin, 2006) adopt different film genres to represent one of the most important actions of the guerrilla warfare throughout the authoritarian regime led by the military in Brazil (1964-1985): the kidnapping of the U.S. ambassador Charles Elbrick, carried out by MR-8 and ALN revolutionary organizations in 1969. Produced during democratic times, the underlying imagery and tension between genres of both films suggest, in themselves, a battle over the reliability of memory. Based on the 1979 memoir of Fernando Gabeira, Four days in September uses a melodramatic style to stage the event in a way that vilifies the left-wing guerrillas, confers innocence upon the social actors and redeems the torturers. In this apologist version of the memory, the past is morally judged as an abhorrent lapse that was totally overcome in the 1990s when the neoliberal order was in charge of the country. Reacting against this vision, the editing of Hércules 56 presents the kidnapping protagonists and the political prisoners freed in exchange for Mr. Elbrick in such a coherent way that both the interviews and the archive footage establish the full story of the episode along with the teleological unity of the entire political struggle opposed to the regime. Preferring to celebrate the accomplishment, the documentary realigns the meanings of these past acts, as if they had only set the stage for the electoral triumph of PT at the turn of the century. In doing so, the film pays homage to past militancy but the final outcome neutralizes critical controversy and turns the incisive uprising into a relic of a bygone era. Although aesthetically and ideologically opposed, the exculpatory and the monumentalizing memories run in parallel in each film, assuming their respective political junctures as the culmination of history and with no significant disagreements over the concrete foundations of the Brazilian democratic conciliation. In bringing this history to a close, the conflict stays enclosed inside the scope of the representations of memory on films, leaving behind the legacy of impunity for human rights violations in Brazil.

This dissertation adresses the encounter between the melodramatic imagination and the imaginative structure that derives form the Bible as a way to operationalize, aesthetically, the representation of the espiritism at the movies Nosso Lar e Chico Xavier – o filme. The tangent of these matrices, so to speak, left visible the extent to which religion informs the very language of films. Therefore, dialogical and hypertextual bridges were created. This dialogue, beyond its endogenous and structural nature, were also estabilished with the historical, social and cultural context of spiritism in Brasil and in its originating reminiscences in the nineteenth century. Thus, from the concept of “moral occult”, we testify the operation of melodrama as a catalyzer of an evaluative universe translated from the influence of the “Greate Code”, in other words, the influence of the Bible with its images and narrative structures.
A presente dissertação aborda o encontro entre a imaginação melodramática e a estrutura imaginativa que deriva da Bíblia como uma forma de se operacionalizar, esteticamente, a representação da doutrina espírita nas obras Nosso Lar e Chico Xavier – o filme. O encontro dessas referências, por assim dizer, deixaram evidentes até que ponto a religião informa a própria linguagem dos filmes. Criaram-se, portanto, pontes hipertextuais e dialógicas. Esse diálogo, além do seu caráter endógeno e estrutural, também se estabeleceu com o contexto histórico, social e cultural do espiritismo no Brasil e em suas reminiscências originárias do século XIX. Verificou-se, assim, a partir do conceito de “oculto moral”, a operação do melodrama como o catalizador de um universo valorativo traduzido a partir da influência do “código dos códigos”, ou seja, da Bíblia como uma influência imaginativa com suas imagens e estruturas narrativas.

Full textBrazilian television telenovela, since its origin in the 50\'s, has undergone countless changes, which not only have changed the form of fiction production, but mainly the experience of the viewer with the fictional product. This work proposes an investigation of these changes, rather a discourse analysis of the Brazilian serial fiction and the mechanisms that establish the discursive instances of the viewer and the author. Thus, this research has as objective to elaborate an investigation of the Brazilian television telenovelas, analyzing the changes occurring in the genre over the years, especially in moments of rupture - the era Gloria Madagan (50s), the realistic era (decade 60) and transmedia era (2000s). Some more specific objectives will guide the research: - to investigate the transformation of telenovela genre in Brazil, considering genre as a discourse articulated around the intercultural dimension involving texts and different contexts; - To investigate how the narrative agency the spectators; - To investigate the discursive mechanisms that relate the telenovela with the extra-diegetic reality; - To investigate the discursive construction of the viewer\'s identification mechanisms with the plot; - To investigate the construction of discursive mechanisms that relate the narratives in different medium; - To investigate the changes in the relations of media consumption over the years; - To investigate how the media convergence phenomenon affected the Brazilian telenovela as a genre. In this work, we postulate that the \"modernization\" of Brazilian telenovela not only transforms how to produce telenovelas, but mostly transforms the experience of the viewer with the fictional product. It goes initially from a fictional experience far from their daily reality, based on a fantasy world, to a fictional experience that seems more and more \"realistic\", in which the various elements of the plot point to everyday life. Today, in the era of onvergence era, the viewer does not leave the television narrative, but has the opportunity to pursue (or not) in other media content to enrich their fictional experience. And it establishes new actors in Brazilian television fictional discourse.
