David Jewel (Poema - Antes do Amanhecer) RESUMO Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os significados do “simulacro” como sedução e amor no cinema do ponto de vista da filosofia da comunicação a partir da obra do filósofo francês Jean Baudrillard. Em um primeiro momento, a pesquisa se propõe a abordar o que é “simulacro” equivalente ao “hiper-real”, o que é cinema e o que é cinema como “simulacro” da realidade. Logo em seguida aprofundarei o estudo dos significados do “simulacro” como “morte, imortalidade e destino” e como “sedução e amor”. O trabalho se propõe a estabelecer um diálogo entre filosofia da comunicação e cinema interpretando os significados do simulacro como sedução e amor nas narrativas fílmicas Antes do Amanhecer (Before Sunrise), de 1995 e Antes do Pôr-do-Sol (Before Sunset), de 2004, ambos escritos e dirigidos por Richard Linklater. Palavras-chave: Simulacro. Sedução. Filosofia. Cinema. Análise fílmica. ABSTRACT The purpose of this scientific work is to analyze the “simulacrum” meanings as “love and seduction” in the movies from the work of Jean Baudrillard considering the viewpoint of communication philosophy. At first, the objective of this search is to approach the simulacrum as hiper-real, the movie meanings, and what is movie as the simulacrum of reality. Following we’ll study with greater emphasis the simulacrum meanings as “death, immortality and fate” and as “seduction and love”. The work also proposes to establish a dialogue between communication philosophy and movie, interpreting the simulacrum meanings as seduction and love in the Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), both directed and written by Richard Linklater.

I didn't see Before Sunrise when it came to theaters in 1994--didn't even hear about it. Several years later, while channel surfing during a commercial break from a TV show I've long forgotten, I stumbled upon Richard Linklater's unusual romantic drama. As I joined them, Jesse and Celine were wandering through an amusement park in Vienna, gabbing about the practicality of romantic relationships and largely ignoring their surroundings.

  • 1 Tango for a Dream: Narrative Liminality and Musical Sensuality In
    1 Tango for a Dream: Narrative Liminality and Musical Sensuality in Richard Linklater’s Waking Life Danijela Kulezic-Wilson, University College Cork Abstract: Richard Linklater’s Waking Life (2001) combines unapologetically cerebral content with a sensuous audiovisual style; fragmentariness in the narrative with an all-encompassing breadth of ideas. Another aspect of Waking Life’s internal contradictions is the juxtaposition of the film’s liminal narrative space with the most “earthly” of music genres, the tango. I will explore the contradictions of Linklater’s film by viewing it in the context of the filmmaker’s metaphysical concerns, showing how all his formal choices, including the rotoscoped visual style, the “narrative of digressions” (Linklater qtd. in Singer) and the choice and placement of music, resonate with the film’s thematic undercurrents and its inquiry into the mysteries of existence, consciousness and time. I will argue that the tension between the film’s narrative liminality and tango’s erotic corporeality addresses the dualistic nature of human experience and that the film’s references to Jean-Luc Godard’s Prénom Carmen (1983) in the scoring not only evoke the French director’s distrust of the film medium itself but also connect to Waking Life’s wider concerns with the nature of reality and our perception of it. The first feature film made using the technique of rotoscoping, Richard Linklater’s Waking Life (2001) is a cinematic meditation on the mysteries of existence, consciousness and time. Presented through a Slacker-style “narrative of digressions” (Linklater qtd. in Singer), the film is assembled from loosely connected fragments of conversations, lectures, music rehearsals and soliloquies, all possibly part of Main Character’s (played by Wiley Wiggins) lucid dream.
