Das primeiras produções à retomada : as representações do nordeste no cinema brasileiro

Abstract

This paper conducts the survey and analysis of film productions that represented the northeast between the years of 1910 and 2003. This period includes the early cinematic achievements in Brazil, in the Decade of 1910, and a change in this production in 2003, with the order of resumption of Brazilian Cinema. During these decades, the Northeast has been portrayed in the national cinema through elements that were dry, the highwaymen and the religious fanaticism, a portrait attributed to this space, poor region and picturesque features of the country. Despite this, we had difficulty in finding in review work that consider these films as contributors to the construction of a stereotypical image about the region, the present work visa, then collaborate to fill this gap. Especially under the inspiration of ALBUQUERQUE (1999), whose studies have postulated that the notion of Northeast that pervades brazilian society imagery was invented in the early decades of the 20th century, from the interests of an elite southern Belle;(1979), which features the relevance of film production for the construction of historical knowledge; Besides CHARTRIER (1988), and your concept of representation. The work comprises four chapters, divided from temporal cutouts that considered the Brazilian film context
