Ao tratar da questão da autoria, levo em consideração o curso da obra e a conseqüente detecção de três fases de realização. Assim, sob o impulso do cinema experimental dos anos 60 e já esmaecido na década seguinte, Greenaway produzi14 dirigiu e montou, primeiramente, filmes não muito expressivos, mas, posteriormente, ganharia respaldo institucional para desenvolver projetos ousados na trilha de uma vanguarda tardia; os filmes realizados durante a década de oitenta testemunham um deslocamento abrupto de sua realização assumidamente experimental para o circuito de produção, distribuição e exibição do cinema de arte comercial. Finalmente, para análise do terceiro momento, exploro as relações entre o cinema, a televisão e as novas mídias, o que ID¿ fez retomar à década de 80, momento em que se verifica a exploração do meio por parte do diretor, dando prosseguimento, tal como nos primeiros filmes, ao ideal de resistência às formas dominantes da narrativa audiovisual. Em todo o trabalho, os filmes são analisados textual e contextualmente em suas feições culturais e históricas, direcionadas para decodificar uma explícita estética do artificio ensejada pela assinatura de Peter Greenaway / Abstract: The multiplied author: in the search ofPeter Greenaway's artifices In this work, focused on Peter Greenaway's films, I investigate his authorial expression. Dealing with authorship, I took in account the films in their chronological development, to reveal, consequentIy, three realization phases. Thus, under the experimental cinema exploitation from the 60's and, then, faded in the following decade, he produced, directed and edited unexpressed films at first, but, later, he would have institutional sponsorship to develop audacious projects in a late avant-garde route. During the 80's, an abrupt displacement is testified in his films: Greenaway shifted from the experimental ghetto to the art cinema production, distribution and exhibi~ion circuit. Finally, to delimitate the last phase, I consider the relationship among film, television and new media; to accomplish this, a return to the 80's was necessary because Greenaway, since then, has been interacting to the medium, making use of a resistant approach to the dominant audiovisual forms, such as in the early films. In the whole work, the fihns are textually analyzed and a cultural and historical contextualization is envisaged, both aspects addressed to decode an explicit artificial aesthetic fonned under Peter Greenaway's signature / Doutorado / Multimeios / Doutor em Multimeios

Estudo centrado nas trucagens eletrônicas digitais utilizadas por Peter Greenaway a partir dos anos 80, no âmbito das tradições cinematográficas e da evolução tecnológica audiovisual. Conceitua-se suas intervenções técnicas e artísticas no campo dos efeitos especiais e das trucagens cinematográficas. O método de análise utilizado combina a dramaturgia da forma, enunciada por Sergei Eisenstein, com as tradições artísticas das composições do visual music, iniciado nos anos 20, e as teorias da física mecânica e seus movimentos ondulatórios. As reflexões construídas nessa pesquisa nos permitem reconhecer um amplo sistema de referências utilizado por Greenaway para desenvolver a sua dramaturgia da forma a partir das trucagens eletrônicas digitais. Diversas categorias propostas por Eisenstein foram revigoradas por Greenaway e estão sendo enriquecidas com novas formulações que apontam para o desenvolvimento de uma prática inovadora na cinematografia em geral. / Study focused on electronic digital trick-film used by Peter Greenaway from the\'80s, under the traditions of film and audiovisual technology developments. The concept is its technical and artistic interventions in the field of special effects and trick-films. The analysis method used combines the form dramaturgy, provided by Sergei Eisenstein with the artistic traditions of the visual music compositions, starting in the 20s, and the theories of physics and mechanical wave motion. The reflections made in this study allow us to recognize an extensive system of references used by Greenaway to develop their theater the way from trucagens electronic fingerprints. Categories proposed by Eisenstein were reinvigorated by Greenaway and are enriched with new formulations that point to the development of an innovative practice in the film industry in general.

This thesis is an attempt to explore the &ldquo / axis of innumerable relationships&rdquo / of the book which Jorge Luis Borges touches upon. In doing this, it deals with the questions of &ldquo / whats&rdquo / , &ldquo / whos&rdquo / , &ldquo / whens&rdquo / and &ldquo / wheres&rdquo / of the reading activity. While scrutinizing these aspects of reading, the main concern is to reach the &ldquo / whys&rdquo / and &ldquo / hows&rdquo / of it. Referring to Roger Chartier&rsquo / s definition of reading, there are three main components of this activity, as the content of the book, the material form of the book and the practice itself and they are aimed to be analyzed in detail. In this context, the questions of &ldquo / wheres&rdquo / and &ldquo / whens&rdquo / and their various answers create an intertwined area of history of reading and history of architecture. Within this theoretical framework, the scope of the thesis is shaped by Peter Greenaway&rsquo / s cinematography. The questions of &ldquo / who reads/writes what book&rdquo / , &ldquo / where and when&rdquo / are searched in the director&rsquo / s three films / The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover (1989), Prospero&#039 / s Books (1991) and The Pillow Book (1996) by devoting one chapter to each film. Accordingly, the question of &ldquo / who&rdquo / orients the study to the bodies of the books/readers/writers, and those of &ldquo / where&rdquo / and &ldquo / when&rdquo / to architectural history. In connection to the director&rsquo / s multidisciplinary interests, the thesis seeks to trace how this topic is intertwined not only with history of architecture but also with the history of art and literature. Hence, it is an attempt to utilize Greenaway&rsquo / s cinematography as a tool to juxtapose the two/three dimensional representations of the book, the body and the spaces onto each other.

Ce mémoire explore la place de l’interartialité, des relations entre les arts, dans le cinéma de Peter Greenaway, et les fonctions qu’elle y remplit. À l’occasion de l’analyse de deux films qui centralisent la figure du peintre et la forme du contrat - The Draughtsman’s Contract et Nightwatching – et prenant comme point de départ théorique les travaux de Walter Moser, nous identifions et analysons quelques-unes des relations interartielles à l’oeuvre dans ces films, pour montrer que la mise en relation des arts de la peinture, du théâtre et du cinéma, dans leurs rapports biartials et pluriartials, constituent la trame fondamentale des films de Greenaway, dans une « interartialité non hiérarchique ». Nous concluons que le recours au dialogue interartiel permet au cinéaste d’esquisser, en filigrane, une posture critique sur l’art et l’artiste, une « théorie de l’art », par laquelle il exprime un point de vue sur le rôle et le statut de l’artiste au sein de la société. / Taking its theoretical starting point from the work of Walter Moser in interartiality, this thesis explores the place and function of interatiality (relationships between the arts) in the cinema of Peter Greenaway. The Draughtsman’s Contract and Nightwatching, two films that focus on the figure of the painter and the form of the contract, are examined for the purpose of identifying and analysing some of the interartial relationships at work in them and thereby demonstrating that the interconnecting of painting, theatre and cinema in bi- and pluri-artial relationships constitutes a basic framework of “non-hierarchical interartiality” in Greenaway’s films. The conclusion is reached that reliance on interart dialogue allows the filmmaker to assume an implicit critical stance in regard to art and the artist – a “theory of art” that expresses a point of view on the artist’s role and status in society.

This study explores the nature of writing and the sorts of presence that writing gives us access to. This understanding of writing includes not only all speaking and all writing in the narrow sense of marks on a page, but goes beyond this to include the sense in which Derrida uses the term ‘writing’ in Of Grammatology, to mean a broad and complex process of the construction of textual traces or presences necessarily brought about through the structural mechanism of difference inherent in the writing process (Derrida, 1997). This study argues that writing is a system that creates Subjects or selves as the writing happens. It suggests that writing is a remarkable site from which to explore the construction of selves, because it gives us access to (partially) identifiable presences, in the apparent absence of the writer. It goes on to demonstrate that this identity can be distinguished through written traces of difference left for the reader to decipher, by analysing different aspects of the plot and writing devices in Peter Greenaway’s film The Pillow Book and in Kafka’s short story In the Penal Colony. These two texts are considered particularly relevant to this study, in that they both explicitly deal with the contradictory nature of writing and how it relates to the Being (there or the contextualised Being of Dasein) and being (in general), the life and death, the empowerment and destruction of the Subjects that writing sets up. Both texts explore salient aspects of writing on the human body. The study uses these texts as a platform for speculation about the kind of presence that can be traced through writing, and proposes that the written Subject is multiple, contradictory and reflexive, connected and related, and that it is impermanent and has a deferred presence. Finally, this written Subject is also explored in the context of Foucault’s expositions of the self in texts such as Technologies of the self (Foucault, 1994) and ‘What is an Author?’ (Foucault, 1977) in answer to his question Who are we in the present, what is this fragile moment from which we can’t detach our identity and which will carry our identity away with itself?
