Margens nada plácidas: documentário, entrevista, identidades e alteridade

Abstract

Nowadays to understand our place in the contemporary world, where media is responsable for most of the representation we have about reality and human relationships, we must understand why it is happening. Reality has been built by media and a lot of audio-visual products produced by media are using themes about real to build theirs speeches. They also uses the image and the speech of ordinary people to legitimize their political speeches. In Brazil, documentary is the sort that must use reality to create its narrative. Thinking about alterity, we uses interviews documentaries where the director and the person set up a special kind of relation. The documentaries À margem da imagem (2003), À margem do concreto (2006) and À margem do lixo (2008), directed by Evaldo Mocarzel, have been checked into this paper because they represent differents kinds of narratives.
