Abstract(s)
O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma breve discussão sobre dois
filmes dirigidos por James Ivory, Uma Janela para o Amor (1985) e Maurice (1987),
ambos adaptados da obra do autor britânico E. M. Forster. O foco da discussão é a crítica
de gênero e problemas em torno da sexualidade na Inglaterra do início do século passado.
Esses temas são adaptados e contextualizados em espaços típicos dos filmes heritage, um
termo crítico desenvolvido no contexto acadêmico britânico para designar filmes de
época que exploram o passado e a literatura daquele país. Antes da análise dos filmes,
apresentamos a perspectiva crítica feminista que problematiza as questões levantadas
pelas narrativas fílmicas, principalmente a partir dos textos de Mulvey (1983), Cook
(1996), Pidduck (1997), Monk (2011), dentre outras. Os filmes de Ivory selecionam e
elaboram imagens que criticam as relações entre poder, gênero e sexualidade, e com isso
diversificam a cultura visual contemporânea a partir de uma distribuição mais
democrática dos discursos e representações da experiência humana.
This article aims at presenting a brief discussion on two films directed by James Ivory, A Room with a View (1985) and Maurice (1987), both of which are adaptations from the novels of the same name by E. M. Forster. The focus of the analysis is the gender critique and the troubles concerning sexuality in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. Such themes are adapted and contextualized in spaces that are associated to heritage films, a critical term that emerged in British academic context and that refer to period films, which depict British past and its literature. Before the films’ analysis, we discuss some of the feminist criticism that consider the questions explored in the film narratives, mainly in the texts by Mulvey (1983), Cook (1996), Pidduck (1997), and Monk (2011), among others. Ivory’s films select and develop scenes of subversion that criticize power relations of gender and sexuality and, as a result, diversify contemporary visual culture by means of a more democratic distribution of discourses and representations of human experience.
