No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernando Beretta Del Corona_.pdf: 4050624 bytes, checksum: 799d20c962674faef9e36c063091e725 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-28 / Nenhuma / Esta pesquisa buscou compreender como se dá a construção do quadro cinematográfico dentro da obra da cineasta norte-americana Sofia Coppola a partir da análise de cinco de seus filmes: As virgens suicidas (1999), Encontros e desencontros (2003), Maria Antonieta (2006), Um lugar qualquer (2010) e Bling Ring: a gangue de Hollywood (2013). Para esse fim, se produziu um percurso histórico do cinema moderno na Europa e nos Estados Unidos no século XX, assim como do cinema independente norte-americano, contextualizando a obra da diretora dentro do movimento indie dos anos 1990. A fundamentação teórica estruturou-se a partir de conceitos e de ideias de Gilles Deleuze, Henri Bergson e André Bazin sobre a imagem. O processo da análise se baseou na metodologia da cartografia e dissecação audiovisual, de Deleuze, Félix Guattari e Walter Benjamin, trabalhando com as imagens nos filmes de Coppola, buscando entender como elas interagem entre si e o sentido que exprimem por meio dos elementos dentro do quadro. Através da análise se compreendeu como Coppola utiliza elementos como o corpo feminino, o olhar dos personagens, a vagueação e molduras secundárias para refletir sobre a sociedade contemporânea onde essas imagens são produzidas. / This research tried to understand how the construction of the cinematic frame works within the movies of north-American director Sofia Coppola, through the analysis of five of her films: The virgin suicides (1999), Lost in translation (2003), Marie Antoinette (2006), Somewhere (2010) and The Bling Ring (2013). To this end, the history of modern cinema in Europe and the United States in the 20th century was researched, as well as the history of independent cinema in America, contextualizing the director’s work within the indie movement of the 1990s. Theoretical foundation was based on concepts and ideas developed by authors Gilles Deleuze, Henri Bergson and André Bazin about images. The analysis process was based on the cartography and audiovisual dissection methodologies, by Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Walter Benjamin, working the images in Coppola’s movies, trying to understand how the interact with themselves and the meaning the express through the elements in the frame. Through the analysis it was understood how Coppola utilizes elements such as the feminine body, the character’s gaze, wanderings and secondary framing to reflect on the contemporary society where these images are produced.

Esta dissertação objetiva analisar a obra audiovisual Encontros e desencontros, dirigida pela cineasta norte-americana Sofia Coppola, filmada integralmente no Japão (nas cidades de Tóquio e Quioto), e lançada comercialmente no ano de 2003. A análise pretende relacionar a representação ficcional da cidade por uma diretora estrangeira, as imagens dos espaços urbanos de Tóquio (resultado das medidas de ocidentalização e modernização praticadas no país, a partir da era Meiji) mostrados através da película e sua narrativa. As imagens da capital japonesa criadas pela realizadora vagueiam através do contraste entre o moderno e o tradicional oferecidos pela cultura japonesa, além de apresentar situações e locais de cartão-postal visitados por turistas e outros frequentados por nativos. E, ao contrário de outras obras cinematográficas, as sequências de fotogramas do filme em questão, que mostram as ruas, avenidas, construções arquitetônicas e espaços internos, acabam exercendo papel ativo dentro da narrativa fílmica. / Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2010. This dissertation aims to analyze the audiovisual work Lost in translation, directed by American film maker Sofia Coppola, shot integrally in Japan (in Tokyo and Kyoto), and commercially released in 2003. The analysis intends to relate the fictional representation of the city depicted by a foreign director, the images of Tokyos urban spaces (resulted from measures of Westernization and modernization practiced in the country, since Meiji era) shown through the film and its narrative. The images of the Japanese capital created by the film maker wander through the contrast between modern and traditional offered by Japanese culture, besides presenting situations and post card sites visited by tourists and others frequented by natives. Unlike other films, the sequences of frames of the analyzed movie, which shows the streets, avenues, architectural constructions and interiors spaces exert an active role in the film narrative.

The master thesis analyses and compares the main characters of three significant works concerning the Dracula theme. It provides a comparison of Bram Stoker's Dracula and its film adaptations, namely Nosferatu - Die Symphonie des Grauens (1922) directed by F. W. Murnaua and Dracula (1992) by F. F. Coppola. The work contrasts the interpretation of a vampire through the character of Dracula, analyses and maps the evolution of female characters in regard to the rules and expectations of society and examines the role of the two most distinct male characters of the story, A. Van Helsing and R. M. Renfield. The three introductory chapters are dedicated to the authors of the works concerned and to the novel and its adaptations, i.e. it describes the circumstances of their conception and their content. The Bram Stoker chapter also comprises a brief characterization and an overview of the gothic novel, the section handling the Nosferatu movie provides a subchapter on expressionist film and the chapter on the work of F. F. Coppola is supplemented with a short outline of the notion of a vampire in pop culture of the 20th century. The first chapter of the comparative analysis concerns the comparison of Dracula character in the novel and its two film adaptations based on the narratological theory of Bohumil...

In this thesis I investigate the nature of noir subjectivity, and the degree to which it can be described as heroic. To investigate these issues, I have chosen to illustrate my argument by analysing my novel, Viper, and two films that renew the noir cycle at different socio-political crossroads in America: in 1958, Alfred Hitchcock???s late noir, Vertigo, and in 1974, Frances Ford Coppola???s neo-noir, The Conversation. Because these texts present an extreme theorisation of deception in terms of the assembling and erasure of subjective identity, they will serve as a basis to explore the question of noir subjectivity. In proceeding thus, I argue in the dissertation that film noir???s most innovative borrowing can be described as a monstrous stitching together of incompatible parts???the real and the imaginary, the past and the present, the living and the dead???which accounts for a cut both between, and within, the image. It is this prosthetic approach to representation that takes the noir mode beyond its existential, individualist limits, and accounts for the subjective wound in noir: the heroic conflict between the singular and the multiple. In my analytic procedure then, I extend the idea of monstrosity beyond its current boundaries in contemporary theory. I do this by fusing Marie H??l??ne Huet???s conception of the monstrous imagination, which is a theory of art, with Gilles Deleuze???s powers of the false, which belongs to a philosophy of time. I posit a dialogic exchange across these analyses and my novel to suggest that the cinematic cut not only accounts for what Deleuze has termed the time-image but also is symptomatic of the chronic wounding of the riven noir hero. These analyses suggest that, while sustaining the aura of authorship through technical innovation and stylistic mastery, film noir serves paradoxically to challenge the mastery of the model designated as masculine. In my novel I continue to deal with the issues raised in the dissertation, through a rearticulation of a subjectivity that irrevocably alters its relation to representation in its affinity with the image, its serial movement through interstitial space, and its novel powers of falsification.
