Resumo: | This paper intends to analyze the script of the episode Chicanery, from the third season of the TV series Better Call Saul, a coproduction between AMC and Netflix. In theoretical terms, we seek to identify the aspects that boosted the screenwriting of contemporary television series, looking towards the sophistication of style and narrative, which led to the development of a writing design more interested in the atmosphere and the subjectivity, rather than the traditional objectivity on the description of the scene. To comprehend this stylistics, we observe, methodologically, how some elements, unusual to the orthodoxy of the screenplay, help in the textual structure of Chicanery. In the end, we show the functions of atmospheric and subjective elements in the contemporary audiovisual serialization. |

Para tanto, buscamos identificar os aspectos que impulsionaram a escrita do roteiro de séries contemporâneas, a partir da sofisticação do estilo e da narrativa, em um processo que levou ao desenvolvimento de um modelo de escrita mais centrado na construção da atmosfera e na subjetivação dos personagens que na descrição objetiva da cena dramática. Para compreender essa estilística particular, observamos, metodologicamente, de que forma elementos incomuns à ortodoxia do roteiro, como o uso de interjeições, interrogações e figuras de linguagem, além da presença ostensiva de um narrador polifônico, operam na construção do roteiro de Chicanery, inserindo interferências épicas e líricas no seio do texto dramático. Por fim, demonstramos as funções desses elementos atmosféricos e subjetivos para a roteirização audiovisual contemporânea, reforçando ainda a importância das análises textuais de roteiros literários para a compreensão das estratégias de serialização televisiva.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2020-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/lumina/article/view/2900510.34019/1981-4070.2020.v14.29005Lumina; v. 14 n. 1 (2020): Dossiê BRICS: Digital Technology, Culture and Communication; 139-1551981-40701516-0785reponame:Revista Luminainstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/lumina/article/view/29005/20460Copyright (c) 2020 Luminainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Marcel Vieira BarretoAragão Quirino, Rodrigo2020-04-30T23:36:18Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/29005Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/lumina/indexPRIhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/lumina/oairevista.lumina@ufjf.br1981-40701516-0785opendoar:2020-04-30T23:36:18Revista Lumina - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
