Resumo: Blindness (2008) by Fernando Meirelles used its mode of production as a motive to situate its story in urban spaces that results in fact from an assembled city. Filming Blindness took place in Toronto, São Paulo, Osaka and Montevideo. The resulting assembled globalized city blurs the insight in Saramago into the limits of individuality by offering a homogeneous worldview that levels socio-economic differences, especially between the north and the south. Losing (clear) sight is in the original text in fact a metaphor for the inability of coping with society’s inhumanity in these particular sites. The aim of this article is to study the film by using the concepts of e-motion and indisciplinarity to reveal that Blindness is nothing more than a conventional approach towards a more complex idea on the loss of sight. By marketing it for a globalized audience, the mimics blindness and thus elimenates Saramago’s lucidity regarding the loss of sight of an entire civilization.

Ensaio sobre a Cegueira (2008) utilizou o seu modo de produção como motivo para situar a sua história em espaços urbanos que resultam de facto de uma cidade montada. A filmagem teve lugar em Toronto, São Paulo, Osaka e Montevideo. A cidade globalizada resultante dilui a percepção na novela de Saramago dos limites da individualidade, oferecendo apenas uma visão homogénea do mundo que nivela as diferenças sócio-económicas, especialmente entre o norte e o sul. A perda de visão é, de facto, no texto original, uma metáfora da incapacidade de lidar com a desumanidade da sociedade nestes locais. O objetivo deste artigo é estudar o filme utilizando os conceitos de e-motion e indisciplinaridade para revelar que a cegueira é abordada de forma convencional. Ao endereçar o filma para um público globalizado, a cegueira é apenas imitada esteticamente, eliminando a lucidez de Saramago relativamente à perda de visão de toda uma civilização.
