Cineclubismo de invenção : percurso histórico-crítico sobre o cineclubismo como um dispositivo de formação coletiva e suas perspectivas atuais

Abstract

This research is dedicated to investigating film clubism as a historical dispositif for collective formation and its possibilities for invention in contemporary times. The thesis works with the approximations and tensions between Brazilian and French film clubs, based on historical and contemporary exemplary cases. Based on Giorgio Agamben's (2009) notion of device, we investigate the ways in which film clubism has historically been constituted as a device in its formative perspective. We define the film club dispositif as the articulation between a community and a program of films, which operates in a procedural dimension over time and with the collective, working with Virginia Kastrup's (2007) concept of invention. By studying the discourses made explicit in the publications and newsletters of film clubs, and in the public speeches of film club members, we identified the formative propositions of the activity in relation to its collective and relational dynamics, in order to characterize what we call invention film clubism. Other theoretical references for this research are Michel Foucault (1988; 1997; 1999), Marina Garcés (2013; 2016; 2020) and Jacques Rancière (2002; 2005; 2012).
