Mímesis, pensamento e cinema digital: imagem-corpo em Dez, de Abbas Kiarostami

Abstract

This research tries to mimetize the modes of thought constructed by the images and sounds of the film Ten by Abbas Kiarostami through a model inspired by the essayistic method of Walter Benjamin. We conducted a mapping of the concept of mimesis in Benjamin‟s writings identifying strategic points for the construction of our own essay. We also work two major ways of thinking cinema according to the classification of Gilles Deleuze, explaining their differences: the movement-image and time-image. We describe the use of techniques in the film Ten with the help of the categories of production space and filmic space. We analyzed the images of Ten, based on the description previously performed, showing that the mode of thought engendered by the images corresponds to the time-image, showing the concept of body-image as a possible sub. At the end of the paper, we present our attempt to mimetize the mode of thought of the film through the concept of body-image, seeking to raise images through writing, with the goal of establishing a common configuration with the thinking of the movie.
