An important connection exists between ethnographic film and indigenous media though they are rarely linked in film theory. The link is not just hypothetical. Cast in the form of historiography, ethnographic film and indigenous media practices may be read as a continuist discourse with a number of critical turns. One such turn is the transformation of the ethnographic subject into a critical public. What is described as indigenous media allows us to categorize this transformation as a significant difference for the practice of ethnography, but the question remains as to whether this difference is retreivable in the terms set by ethnography. The emergence of the indigenous ethnographer has consequences for understanding the problems in the relations between Western and non-Western cultural formations. As a means through which a culture or nation may represent its own historical evolution, indigenous media is also, however, a discourse in formation--characterized by heterogenous claims and practices.

Abordamos aqui o interesse de Rouch em transitar entre fronteiras e de estabelecer ligações - ou diluições - entre procedimentos artísticos e científicos. Para levar a cabo tal estudo, escolhemos analisar um período de sua produção que começa com seu primeiro filme etnográfico, Au pays des mages noirs (1946-1947) até a realização de Chronique d'un été (1960). Dentro desse período está La pyramide humaine (1959), filme pouco estudado, mas cujas características especiais e únicas fazem dele uma ponte determinante entre as primeiras experiências com os assim chamados "filmes de improvisação", Jaguar (1954) e Moi, un Noir (1958) e a eclosão do cinéma-vérité, movimento que iria influenciar, de forma inelutável, o filme antropológico em especial, e o cinema moderno de maneira geral. Apoiando nossa reflexão, realizamos uma experiência de recepção de La pyramide humaine com jovens recrutados pela ONG Cine-favela, na Comunidade de Heliópolis, junto com estudantes de uma Faculdade de Cinema e também com uma atriz profissional. Esperamos que os resultados dessa experiência, somados às reflexões acima referidas, ajudem a melhor compreender a obra do extraordinário antropólogo-cineasta Jean Rouch, notadamente o período de sua carreira a que este estudo se dedica / Abstract: This work is about the building of Jean Rouch's cinema, since his first approach to the African world and the questions that he would be interested when he has created his movies, till the happening of the cinema-vérité, a film movement of the 1960s that would propose new relations between the cinema and the real. We broach Rouch's interest in walk over frontiers and to establish contacts - or to dissolve it - between artistic and scientific procedures. To go on with this research, we have decided to analyze a period of his productions that begins at his first ethnographic film, Au pays des mages noirs (1946-1947) till the making of Chronique d'un été (1960). Inside this period it is La pyramide humaine (1959), one of his films less studied, but whose special characteristic make it a important bridge between his first experiences with the "improvisation films", Jaguar (1954) and Moi, un Noir (1958), and the emergence of the cinéma-vérité, a movement that it will influence, specially the anthropological film, but the modern cinema in a generic way. To support our reflections we have made a reception experience of the film La pyramide humaine with young people of the NGO Cinefavela, in the community of Heliópolis, together with the students of a Cinema University and a professional actress. We hope that the product of this experience, with the reflections about it, help us to comprehend the extraordinary work of the anthropological filmmaker Jean Rouch, specially in a moment of his work that is quoted here / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

In Outside the Metropolitan Frame: The Nouvelle Vague and the Foreign, 1954-1968 I examine the significance of the Nouvelle Vague directors’ engagement with the world beyond metropolitan France, through formal analyses of seminal films by Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and Jean Rouch, as well as close readings of archival documents pertaining to their promotion and reception. I contend that the directors of the Nouvelle Vague were concerned with the shifts in national, transnational and colonial dynamics that marked their era. I demonstrate that their texts and films are structured by a dialectical relationship between a gaze turned outwards onto the world beyond metropolitan France, and a gaze turned inwards, onto the French. In my first three chapters, I inscribe the Nouvelle Vague in a cultural longue durée by examining its formal and thematic continuities with the tradition of French ethnography; the inter-war artistic movement, Surrealism; and the cinéma vérité documentary tradition of the early 1960s. I illustrate that the films of the Nouvelle Vague were fundamentally shaped by their directors’ engagement with the decolonization of the French empire. In my final chapter, I reexamine the most conspicuous example of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, American cinema, in light of my preceding demonstrations. I determine that there are two levels of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, and that the influence of American cinema was above all textual and superficial, whereas a grappling with the end of the French empire was, though far less conspicuous, fundamental to the form of the Nouvelle Vague films themselves.
