Resumo: The paper consists of a qualitative research that aims to analyze cinematographic works that explore Mathematics in their plots. To do so, we sought to understand the origin and development of media as information technology tools, in order to trace back the establishment of cinema as a storytelling mechanism – also recognizing its functionalities. After refined searches on the internet, we found 23 movies that feature scientists’ concepts and/or stories in the realm of Mathematics, released in a 25-year interval (between 1997 and 2021). These movies were viewed, classified and analyzed according to three categories: Mathematics as background; Mathematics as a narrative tool; and mathematicians. The analysis brings a variety of mathematical approaches and references, and, as a result, we concluded that watching fictional stories, as well as those based on real events, can help us to better understand who the mathematical revolutionaries portrayed were and/or how Mathematics can interconnect with the cinematoghapic art, building engaging narratives while also demonstrating the versatility of this area of knowledge.

Para ello, buscamos comprender el origen y desarrollo de los medios de comunicación como herramientas tecnológicas de información, con el fin de remontarse al establecimiento del cine como mecanismo de narración, reconociendo también sus funcionalidades. Después de búsquedas refinadas en la internet, encontramos 23 películas que presentan conceptos y/o historias de científicos en el campo de las Matemáticas, lanzados en un intervalo de 25 años (entre 1997 y 2021). Estas películas fueron vistas, clasificadas y analizadas según tres categorías: las Matemáticas como telón de fondo; las Matemáticas como herramienta narrativa; y los matemáticos. El análisis trae una variedad de enfoques y referencias matemáticas y, como resultado, concluimos que ver historias de ficción, así como aquellas basadas en hechos reales, puede ayudarnos a entender mejor quiénes fueron los revolucionarios matemáticos retratados y/o cómo las matemáticas pueden interconectarse con el arte cinematográfico, construyendo narrativas atractivas al mismo tiempo que demuestran la versatilidad que tiene esta área del conocimiento.O trabalho consiste de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, cujo objetivo é analisar obras cinematográficas que exploram a Matemática em seus enredos. Para isso, buscamos compreender a origem e o desenvolvimento das mídias enquanto ferramentas tecnológicas da informação, com o intuito de remontar ao estabelecimento do cinema como um mecanismo de contação de histórias – reconhecendo também suas funcionalidades. Após buscas refinadas na internet, encontramos 23 filmes que apresentam conceitos e/ou histórias de cientistas no âmbito da Matemática, lançados em um intervalo de 25 anos (entre 1997 e 2021). Esses filmes foram vistos, classificados e analisados de acordo com três categorias: Matemática como pano de fundo; Matemática como ferramenta narrativa; e matemáticos(as). A análise traz uma variedade de abordagens e referências matemáticas e, como resultado, concluímos que observar histórias fictícias, bem como as baseadas em acontecimentos reais, pode nos ajudar a compreender melhor quem foram os revolucionários matemáticos retratados e/ou como a Matemática pode se interligar com a arte cinematográfica, construindo envolventes narrativas ao, também, demonstrar a versatilidade que esta área do conhecimento possui.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/583510.1590/SciELOPreprints.5835porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/5835/11255Copyright (c) 2023 Victor Dourado Coelho, Vanessa de Paula Cintra, Rafael Peixotohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCoelho, Victor DouradoCintra, Vanessa de PaulaPeixoto, Rafaelreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-03-28T15:34:26Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/5835Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-03-28T15:34:26SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false
