Previous issue date: 2016-03-08 / Both inside and outside Hollywood, the mafia, an Italian criminal organization, has become the theme of one of the so-called gangster movies? subgenres, attracting the interest not only of the public, but of film scholars. Despite the vast literature on the subject, there are still few works available in the Portuguese language. Moreover, it is evident the lack of studies that not only focus on a specific film or moment, but also analyze how the movies depict the mythological features associated to the Mafia and the mobster character over a broader historical period. This study addresses that issue by taking into account the extensive range of movies produced since the premiere of the earliest film on the subject in 1906. The aim is to analyze how the movies explore the Italian mafia myth and how it emerges on the screen to become a cultural industry phenomenon. To that end, films made worldwide since the release of the first gangster movie were examined. The research identified 204 titles ? 142 by European filmmakers and 62 by American film studios. Considered by scholars as the main responsible for creating and perpetuating the myth of the Italian criminal organization, despite the reduced number of films, Hollywood stands outs in this scenery due to the relevance of its productions in the subgenre?s history. From this perspective, this study will examine the works The black hand (1906), Little Caesar (1931), Black hand (1950), The godfather trilogy (1972, 1974 and 1990), Goodfellas (1990), Donnie Brasco (1997), and Find me guilty (2006). As a theoretical and methodological reference and a line of analysis, the study adopts the works of Douglas Kellner and Fredric Jameson, for their concern in approaching the movies as a cultural product impregnated with meanings in its historicity. Edgar Morin and Roland Barthes provided the basis for performing the mythological narrative. With regards to the gangster genre, the study relies in particular on the works of Thomas Schatz, Giorgio Bertellini, Larry Lagman, and Nicole Rafter. As to the mafia depiction in movies, it utilizes studies coordinated by Dana Renga and Lee Grieveson, as well as Peter Biskind, George S. Larke-Walsh, and Vincenzo Maggitti. The film analysis prioritizes the dynamics of the social relations in their relation with the movies, the universe of meanings, motivations, beliefs, values, and attitudes. The conclusion is that, though by different reasons in each social-historical moment, the Hollywood industry has forged the mafia myth in movies, and the films on the subject have exercised a great fascination on the audience, creating empathy with the fascinating figure of the mafia boss and then keeping the subject alive in the viewers? imaginary. / Dentro e fora de Hollywood, a m?fia, organiza??o criminosa italiana, se tornou tema de um dos subg?neros dos chamados filmes de g?ngster, despertando interesse do p?blico, mas tamb?m de estudiosos do cinema. O repert?rio a respeito ? vasto, mas ainda s?o raras as obras em l?ngua portuguesa. Al?m disso, verifica-se a falta de literatura que n?o fique apenas em um filme ou momento e analise de que forma o cinema retrata as caracter?sticas mitol?gicas associadas ? m?fia e ao personagem mafioso durante um per?odo hist?rico mais amplo. A presente disserta??o ataca esse problema, ao levar em considera??o o universo de filmes produzidos desde a estreia da primeira pel?cula sobre o tema, em 1906, at? os dias de hoje. O objetivo ? analisar a forma como o cinema trabalha o mito da m?fia italiana, de que maneira este se sobressai na tela, para tornar-se um fen?meno da ind?stria cultural. Considerou-se o repert?rio f?lmico mundial desde o surgimento do primeiro filme de m?fia. A investiga??o levantou a exist?ncia de 204 filmes, oriundos das ind?strias cinematogr?ficas dos Estados Unidos e da Europa: 142 foram produzidos por cineastas europeus e 62, pelos est?dios norte-americanos. Hollywood, apontada por pesquisadores como a grande respons?vel por criar e perpetuar o mito da organiza??o criminosa italiana, apesar do menor n?mero de t?tulos, destaca-se, nessa paisagem, pela sali?ncia de suas produ??es na hist?ria do subg?nero. Baseando-se nisso, decidiu-se pela an?lise das obras The black hand (The black hand, 1906), Alma no lodo (Little Caesar, 1931), A m?o negra (Black Hand, 1950), a trilogia O poderoso chef?o (The godfather, 1972, 1974 e 1990), Os bons companheiros (Goodfellas, 1990), Donnie Brasco (Donnie Brasco, 1997) e Sob suspeita (Find me guilty, 2006). A pesquisa toma como referencial te?rico-metodol?gico e linha de an?lise as obras de Douglas Kellner e Fredric Jameson, por se preocuparem em estudar o cinema como produto cultural carregado de significados em sua historicidade. Edgar Morin e Roland Barthes serviram para fazer a an?lise da narrativa mitol?gica. Sobre o g?nero g?ngster, o estudo tem como base, em especial, as obras de Thomas Schatz, Giorgio Bertellini, Larry Lagman e Nicole Rafter. Quanto ? retrata??o da m?fia no cinema, a pesquisa reporta-se a estudos coordenados por Dana Renga e Lee Grieveson, assim como em Peter Biskind, George S. Larke-Walsh e Vincenzo Maggitti. O exame dos materiais privilegia a din?mica das rela??es sociais em sua rela??o com o cinema, universo de significados, motivos, aspira??es, cren?as, valores e atitudes. A conclus?o do trabalho ? que, embora por diferentes raz?es em cada momento s?cio-hist?rico, a ind?stria de Hollywood forjou o mito da m?fia no cinema e as pel?culas sobre o tema exerceram uma forte atra??o sobre o p?blico, criando empatia com a figura fascinante do mafioso e, assim, mantendo o tema vivo no imagin?rio dos espectadores.
