O cinema como jogo: o lúdico como elemento ontológico da poética audiovisual

Abstract

The project aims to survey elements to defend the concept of play as an axiom for development of method in film research, especially the poetic-dramaturgical cinema, from the reading of Homo Ludens, by Johan Huizinga. Assumes that this view can contribute to the critical analysis of various cinematic experience intricacies and their creative processes, production, distribution and digital fruition under the aegis of the new technologies. To fulfill its scope, makes use also of authors Hans-Georg Gadamer and Charles Sanders Peirce, building an analytical model that can be applied as a tool for film phenomenon interpretation. Armed with this triadic instrument, then goes on to test it on interpretative exercises on some representative elements of the cinema history and experience, as its origins; its conflict with the electronic and digital media; the search for a total cinema and virtual reality. Concludes positively, considering possible to develop and refine the outlined triadic model, based on game logic applied to the study of film, as film studies tool.
