Cinema brasileiro, circulação internacional e diplomacia cultural : trajetórias, interseções, dilemas e rupturas

Abstract

This dissertation presents a study on the international circulation of Brazilian cinema, establishing relations with dynamics of cultural diplomacy, from the observation of characteristic processes of the cinematographic production chain, with emphasis on those aimed at reaching the foreign market. To this end, the ideas presented here are positioned within the hypermodern context, established by Gilles Lipovetsky and reflected from Pierre Bourdieu's systems of symbolic exchanges, in the sphere of reflection of the cinematographic fact exposed by Cristian Metz. It is based on authors who deal with the basic structures of circulation of Brazilian cinema, such as João Guilherme Barone and Hadija Chalupe. As well as in the text on the conceptualization of Brazilian cultural diplomacy by Edgard Telles Ribeiro. The theoretical arguments serve the use of observational and exploratory research methodologies, through data obtained in documental and bibliographic searches. The starting point is to organize an understanding of the scenarios that characterize universal patterns in the operations of internationalization of cinema, through a genealogical look at the value system in the cinematographic chain, its distribution processes and consequent movements of circulation abroad. Next, an approach to cultural diplomacy in Brazil seeks to elucidate its main theoretical concepts, to identify its practices and main intersections with cinema. At the end, an analysis of the scenarios of impacts and ruptures generated by the crisis that is established in the Brazilian cinema, in the period between 2018-2021, contemplating the structural stoppage, due to the Covid-19 pandemic; the dismantling and deinstitutionalization movements of federal public policies for the sector; the generation of impacts and ruptures, through technological acceleration, on cinematographic circulation.
