ANALYSIS OF URBAN SPACE'S REPRESENTATIONS IN AUDIOVISUAL WORKS MADE BY POTIGUAR PEOPLE.

This research weaves meaning relations from urban audiovisual spaces found in the short films "Janaína Colorida Made the Sky" (Babi Baracho, 2014, 18'') and “Sailor” (Victor Ciríaco, 2014, 13''). We discuss relationships between spaces and dramatic actions represented in/by such works. Then, we examine some characteristics that the cities assume when symbolized in the fictional realities in question. The methodological procedures are part of a qualitative research of film analysis, to which are added interviews with the directors of the short films as extra-film contextualization. Since the enunciation of speeches composed by imagery and sound elements, we identify particular meanings produced by the representation of city environments. We propose a movement of the subjective experience for the representation of the social spaces and the meanings disseminated by it. In this movement, there is the possibility of giving visibility and/or creating other subjectifications from the audiovisual reality. For this, we are constructing a kind of interpretive web of meanings relating the productions, based on specific perspectives on both the urban space and the contemporary subject.
