Abstract | |
His research aims at the analysis of Brazilian documentaries Violência S.A (Newton Cannito, Eduardo Benaim and Jorge Jafet, 2005); Jesus no mundo maravilha (Newton Cannito, 2007); Um lugar ao sol (Gabriel Mascaro, 2009); Pacific (Marcelo Pedroso, 2009); Banco imobiliário (Miguel Antunes Ramos, 20016) and Turn off (Carlos Segundo, 2013). When looking at these films, which present ironic or sarcastic assertions about social issues and/or the discourse of their interviewees, the research intends to reflect on fundamental themes in documentary theory. The main questions that will be addressed are: how these discursive strategies diverge from the tradition of "speeches of sobriety"; what are the specificities of the contract established between the documentary filmmaker and the social actors of ironic and/or sarcastic documentaries and what are the causes and consequences of using humor to discuss social issues (AU) | |
