Bodies in movement and frozen cities in contemporary Brazilian cinema
identity; choreography; Brazilian cinema; imaginary;
This thesis project aims to understand the construction of identities in contemporary Brazilian cinema. The main hypothesis is that the construction of identities occurs from the becoming and the displacement between time
and space in which individuals reconnect a puzzle that constitutes their subjectivities and identities. The research is permeated by the categories of analysis: space and identity and analyses Brazilian films with characters in migratory processes in the 2010s, more specifically between 2011 and 2021, which contextualise a political period conducive to independent production, allowing the representation of these identities. From the analysis of the films, my thesis is the concept of choreospatiality as what will explain the relationship between bodies and spaces.
