O silêncio retratado em imagens fílmicas

Abstract

The present dissertation focuses on the invention of silence constructs in filmic images. The reflection dialyzes the imaginary and the technologies of silence in the cinema in a technocultural and audiovisual perspective, and it includes the crossings provoked by other means of communication. The research investigates and problematizes on the technique and the aesthetics in the process of producing audiovisual images that amplify and deepen the formalization of a composite consisting of the sonorities of silence as a virtuality updated in effects in the drawing of sound portrayed in three films: The silence (1963), by Ingmar Bergman, Gravity (2013, by Alfonso Cuarón, and Aningaaq (2013), by Jonas Cuarón. The theoretical-methodological contributions used are associated with Benjamin’s cartographic procedures, Bergson's intuitive method, and Kilpp’s frame methodology. It articulates authors’ concepts such as Dubois, Flusser, Didi-huberman, Rancière and Virilio. The aim is to strengthen the studies on the audio-visual dimensions and the voluminosity of silence as a place for the interpenetration of states, working memory images as if they were a sentence-image or image-form. Experiencing through the act of listening and photographing inscriptions in infonografics extracted by perceptions and affections that frame a sensitive experience and the understanding of a readability of the effects produced in tessituras of time and space. This was the way to authenticate velocities of rhythmic readings of sound and silence in successiveness, simultaneity and thickening. It elects states that produce the sensation or illusion of presence and meaning considered as belonging to architectures and instruments of measures generating operations of apprehension of the object of studies formed by the sonorous portraits: expressions, halls, codes and thickenesses of silence. The placement of this research problem intended the authentication of a listening of silence as a sound image and, or as an audio performance. The results obtained contribute to the understending of the processes of imagination in the technical and aesthetic rearrangement of a soundscape that engenders the analogue and digital system of coding moving images, in the modes of being and acting of effects in audiovisual environments, and in designing forms in the sound design to create theoretical-methodological possibilities of a listening of the materialities of the silence in the filmic experience.
