Abstract(s)
Neste estudo, pretendemos reconstituir a pegada histórica da paisagem madeirense no audiovisual, onde se incluem as duas ilhas habitadas do arquipélago, Madeira e Porto Santo. Privilegiamos uma abordagem interdisciplinar partindo de uma perspetiva histórica que analisa, sob um ponto de vista semiótico e estético, a função da paisagem enquanto local de filmagem específico. Esta paisagem, ora invocada como reprodução explícita da realidade fenoménica, em jeito documental, ora como aproveitamento dos espaços naturais para criar um ambiente puramente ficcional, é quase sempre um lugarqualquer abordado de forma não descritiva, ou identitária, na narrativa. Os objetos de estudo compreendem alguns filmes realizados na Madeira, da responsabilidade de equipas de produção locais ou externas, e de artistas plásticos atuando no contexto audiovisual. Mais concretamente, foram selecionados alguns filmes de ficção e outros de carácter mais experimental, distribuídos temporalmente ao longo do século XX e XXI, e divididos em dois grandes conjuntos aos quais denominamos: “filmes de rocha e água” e “filmes de montanha e nevoeiro”. O objetivo central é indagar de que modo(s) cada conjunto explora estratégias formais, linhas estéticas e dispositivos de encenação para criar uma representação específica da paisagem, em modo cinemático.
This study aims at restoring the historical footprint of the Madeiran landscape in the audiovisual sector focusing on Madeira and Porto Santo, the two inhabited islands of the archipelago. We have privileged an interdisciplinary approach based on a historical perspective that, from a semiotic and aesthetic point of view, analyses the function of the landscape as a specific filming location. This landscape - at times invoked as an explicit reproduction of phenomenal reality, as in a documentary, at other times using natural materials so as to create a purely fictional environment - is almost always any-place, addressed in a non-descriptive or identitary way in the narrative. The objects of study include some films made in Madeira under the responsibility of local or external production teams and of plastic artists working in the audiovisual context. More specifically, some fictional and other more experimental films, distributed over the course of the twentieth- and twenty-first century, were selected and divided into two large sets that were named: “rock and water films” and “mountain and mist films”. The main goal is to inquire in what way(s) each set explores formal strategies, aesthetic lines and staging devices in order to create a specific representation of the landscape in cinematic mode.
