Título: | The Nature of Portuguese Cinema: Environment on the Silver Screen | Autor: | Vieira, Patrícia | Palavras-chave: | Regionalism; Domesticated natural sublime; Environmentalism; Ecology | Data: | 2017 | Editora: | American Portuguese Studies Association | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Journal of Lusophone Studies | Volume: | 2 | Número: | 1 | Local de edição ou do evento: | Stanford | Resumo: | This article analyzes the representation of nature in Portuguese cinema from the silent era to contemporary productions. I argue that cinematic depictions of the environment reflect the socio-economic and political changes Portugal went through in the past century. Early films showcased natural beauty, together with local traditions, and created what I define as a "domesticated natural sublime." Estado Novo filmography portrayed nature as a godlike entity that could both be the source of adversity and a loving, nurturing mother and presented authority figures as instantiations of this powerful force. Salazarist films also praised the countryside to the detriment of city life, a dichotomous view of the environment that continued in movies from the democratic period. In more recent work, we witness the development of an ecological consciousness, as films meditate upon the relation between humanity and the environment in late modernity. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/48125 | ISSN: | 2469-4800 | DOI: | 10.21471/jls.v2i1.157 | Direitos: | openAccess |
