Resumo: | The following text was written in 2015, right after I left the exhibition of Embrace of the serpent at the 39th São Paulo International Film Festival, in 2015. The canon for the literary genre ‘academic article’ is not squarely fitted for what follows, nonetheless, this article is not so arbitrary that it cannot be qualified as scientific; in fact, I think its scientific qualifications have only become more evident since then. If that does not totally prevent my text to qualify as a sort of film criticism, at least it brings it closer to a criticism of gaze, by trying to explain some assumptions of the film’s gaze. Chronologically, from 2015 to now, not so many years have passed. However, after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, once-ordinary acts like going to the movies seem to belong to an increasingly distant reality. Perhaps the more correct to say would be that these years of pandemic have exposed the reality and falsity of certain simulacra that previously went unnoticed. True, the hegemony of new, less collective, and more privatized ways of seeing was already announced before the pandemic, but nothing compares to what we have seen happening since 2020. The film destructive exacerbation of the colonizing process to which the planet's ecosystems are subjected enhances the experience of transmutation or estrangement that the film can arouse. If this pace continues, soon the only flow that post-humanity will come to know will be that of artificial blood transfusions to feed vegetative brains. |

Não é um texto que respeita o cânone do gênero literário ‘artigo acadêmico’, mas tampouco é tão arbitrário que não possa ser qualificado de científico. Na verdade, penso que sua qualificação científica apenas tornou-se mais evidente de lá para cá. Se isso não o afasta totalmente de uma crítica de cinema, ao menos o aproxima de uma crítica do olhar, pela tentativa de explicitação de alguns pressupostos do olhar do filme. Cronologicamente, de 2015 para cá não são tantos anos passados. Todavia, após dois anos de pandemia de COVID-19, atos antes corriqueiros como ir ao cinema parecem pertencer a uma realidade cada vez mais distante. Talvez seja mais correto afirmar que esses anos de pandemia escancararam a realidade e a falsidade de certos simulacros que antes ainda passavam despercebidos. É certo que a hegemonia de novas formas menos coletivas e mais privatizadas de ver já se anunciava antes da pandemia, mas nada se compara ao que vimos acontecer de 2020 para cá. A agudização destrutiva do processo colonizador – ao qual são submetidos os ecossistemas do planeta – potencializa a experiência de transmutação ou estranhamento que o filme pode suscitar. A continuar esse passo, em breve, o único fluxo que a pós-humanidade chegará a conhecer será o das transfusões de sangue artificial para alimentar cérebros vegetativos.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2022-07-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/6224310.4025/actascihumansoc.v44i1.62243Acta Scientiarum.
