É apresentada de início uma bio-filmografia do diretor, indicando sua trajetória e comentando um pouco sobre cada um de seus filmes. A seguir passa-se à análise dos filmes da trilogia, abordando-se primeiro Koyaanisqatsi, quanto aos movimentos de aceleração realizados ao longo das passagens fílmicas, decorrentes principalmente da captação de imagens aceleradas, da movimentação de câmera, e da relação imagem-música. É analisado então Powaqqatsi, discutindo-se um elemento fabulativo que envolve o filme: tanto os povos representados nele, quanto o próprio processo de realização fílmica. Passa-se à análise de Naqoyqatsi, apontando-se a diversidade de materiais visuais utilizados, com o predomínio das imagens técnicas, midiáticas, e virtuais, e sua relação no choque entre dois impulsos contrários, um de caos e o outro de controle. Após essa primeira parte são retomadas as questões principais trabalhadas em cada filme, observando-se a relação de cada uma com os outros filmes - o universo de toda a trilogia. Abre-se com isso o horizonte inicial, relacionando-se então os filmes da trilogia Qatsi com filmes do movimento das sinfonias da cidade, através de relações estéticas, e de algumas relações temáticas. Por fim, expande-se um pouco mais o horizonte do trabalho, identificando-se características dos filmes analisados com elementos oriundos da intersecção dos domínios do cinema documentário com o do cinema experimental, como as constantes fragmentações das narrativas e anamorfoses das imagens. A intersecção desses domínios possibilitaria a existência da estilística fílmica designada como documentário poético, o que se considera ser o caso dos filmes abordados neste trabalho. / Abstract: This work is a filmic analysis of the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi), directed by Godfrey Reggio. Firstly, it is presented a bio-filmography of the director, indicating his trajectory and some comments on each of his films. Then, the analysis of the trilogy takes place, beginning with Koyaanisqatsi and focusing the acceleration movements along the filmic passages, mainly due to the registration of accelerated images, camera movement and music-image relationship. The Powaqqatsi analysis involves the discussion of the fabulative element present in the film: on the people and actions represented as well on the own filmmaking process. During the Naqoyqatsi analysis, it has been pointed out the diversity of visual materials used, in which dominate technical, mediatic and virtual images, and their relation with the shock of two opposite impulses, i.e. chaos and control. Further, the major issues focused in each film are again considered, taking into account their relations with the other films - the universe of the whole trilogy. The opening of the initial horizon occurs relating the films of the Qatsi trilogy with those of the movement of the city symphonies, through aesthetic and some thematic relationships. Finally, it is performed a further expansion of the initial horizon, identifying characteristics of the films analyzed with elements originated from the intersection of the documentary and experimental film domains, like the frequent narratives fragmentation and anamorphic image fluxes. The intersection of these fields would allow the characterization of the filmic stylistics known as poetic documentary, that is considered to be the case of the films here analyzed. / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

In the fourteenth century Jacques de Longuyon popularized the theme of the nine worthies in his poem Les Voeux du Paon. Gofrey of Bouillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine and Protector of the Holy Sepulchre, was the last of the Christian Worthies in the poem. In his life and legends he exemplified the medieval world's heroic ideal. His achievement, the recovery of the Holy City for Christianity, was the pinnacle-the crowning glory-for the western world. By examining the historical fact of Godfrey's life and comparing it to legends and artistic renderings of that life, one can learn more about the time during which he lived and the people of which he was a part.

Este documento de tesis aborda como problema de investigación la interacción de la música y la imagen en la construcción del significado del film documental Koyaanisqatsi (1982). En nuestra investigación, Koyaanisqatsi representa un problema de investigación en sí mismo en tanto, por un lado, tiene cualidades poco convencionales o experimentales que corresponden a un modo poético de realización documental y, por otro lado, el film deja abierta la posibilidad a múltiples interpretaciones pues, como indica su director, Godfrey Reggio, depende del espectador encontrar el significado del film y completarlo. La música y la imagen representan los principales estímulos que componen este film, de manera que nuestra aproximación metodológica consiste en la observación, escucha y análisis de los componentes constitutivos de la música y la imagen del film con la finalidad de comprender cómo éstas, en su combinación, o interacción, construyen el significado de la obra audiovisual. La investigación revela relaciones entre música e imagen cuyas características construyen en el film la representación audiovisual de una sociedad contemporánea occidental en decadencia y autodestrucción, donde el ser humano, inmerso en un mundo moderno y tecnológico, se muestra alienado y deshumanizado, en oposición a un mundo ancestral de quietud, contemplación y equilibrio con la naturaleza majestuosa que el film pone en vigencia. / This thesis addresses as a research problem the interaction of music and image in building the meaning of documentary film Koyaanisqatsi (1982). In our research, Koyaanisqatsi is a problem in itself because, on one hand, it has experimental and non conventional qualities that belong to a poetic mode of documentary filmmaking and, on the other hand, this film leaves the open door for multiple interpretations by the audience as film director, Godfrey Reggio, refers that it’s up to the viewer to find and fulfill its meaning. Music and image are the main stimuli that take part on this film, so our methodological approach involves observing, listening and analyzing the main components of both music and image in the film pursuing to comprehend how their combination or interaction build the film meaning. The research reveals music and image relationships and characteristics that build and describe an audiovisual representation of the decline and self-destruction of a contemporary and occidental society in which humans, surrounded by a technological world, are alienated and dehumanized as opposed to an ancestral, natural, still, and well-balanced world that this film validates and legitimaze. / Tesis

The thesis attempts to provide a chronological analysis of Lagden's colonial career between 1877 and 1907. The youngest son of a parish priest, Lagden received limited formal education and no military training. By a fortuitous set of circumstances, he was able, as a man on the spot, to attain high ranking posts in colonial administration. As a young man, he acquired considerable experience in the Transvaal, Egypt and the Gold Coast. However, blatant disobedience led to his dismissal from Colonial service. Fortunately for Lagden, Marshal Clarke, newly appointed Resident Commissioner of Basutoland, insisted on Lagden being appointed to his staff. Except for a brief stint in Swaziland, Lagden remained in Basutoland until 1900. With Clarke, Lagden played a prominent role in the implementation of the Imperial policy of securing the support of the Koena chiefs by allowing them to retain and consolidate their power and influence. Lagden became Resident Commissioner in Basutoland when Clarke was transferred to Zululand. He continued established policies and championed the Basotho cause by opposing the opening of Basutoland to prospectors and by stressing the industrious habits of the Basotho. His tactful and energetic handling of the rinderpest crisis reduced dramatic repercussions amongst the Basotho and enabled cooperative Koena chiefs to increase their economic and political leverage. Despite his reservations over Basotho loyalty, Lagden emerged from the South African War with an enhanced reputation as the Basotho remained loyal and energetically participated in the Imperial war effort. Largely because of his Basutoland experience, Lagden was appointed the Transvaal Commissioner of Native Affairs in 1901. He was responsible for regulating African labour supplies for the mines and delineation of African locations. His failure to procure sufficient labour and his defence of African rights earned Lagden much abusive settler condemnation. As chairman of the South African Native Affairs Commission, Lagden produced an uninspiring report conditioned by the labour shortage and his personal distaste for decisive action. Nevertheless, its advocacy of political and territorial segregation influenced successive Union governments.
