Resumo: The films The City of Lost Souls (2000) directed by Takashi Miike and Goldfish Go Home (2012) by Shōhei Shiozaki share a common theme about the life of Brazilians in Japan. They were both directed by Japanese filmmakers in two specific moments in the context of the Brazilian immigration to Japan, which is ongoing since 1990. Despite their commonalities, the two films present different aesthetic views that lead to contradictory understandings about the interaction of Japanese and Brazilians in Japan. This article brings into discussion how establishing shots and spatial continuity express these views in the films. Establishing shots are the starting point to recognize the location of scenes and actions in films. The aim here is to show how diegetic space and spatial continuity built by film editing are essential elements in representations of interaction between foreigners and nationals. This analysis is based on the spaces represented, their historical and cultural characteristics and some of the political implications of these representations.

Ambas fueron dirigidas por cineastas japoneses en dos momentos concretos en el contexto de la inmigración brasileña a Japón, que está en marcha desde 1990. A pesar de sus puntos en común, las dos películas presentan puntos de vista estéticos diferentes que conducen a entendimientos contradictorios sobre la interacción de japoneses y brasileños en Japón. En este artículo se discute cómo los planos de apertura y la continuidad espacial expresan estos puntos de vista en las películas. Los planos de situación son el punto de partida para reconocer la ubicación de las escenas y las acciones en las películas. El objetivo es mostrar cómo el espacio diegético y la continuidad espacial construidos por el montaje cinematográfico son elementos esenciales en las representaciones de la interacción entre extranjeros y nacionales. Este análisis se basa en los espacios representados, sus características históricas y culturales y algunas de las implicaciones políticas de estas representaciones.Os filmes The City of Lost Souls (2000) de Takashi Miike e Peixinho mágico (2012) de Shōhei Shiozaki têm em comum o tema da vida dos brasileiros no Japão. Ambos foram realizados por diretores japoneses em momentos distintos do contexto da imigração brasileira que ocorre no país desde 1990. Mas apesar de compartilharem um mesmo tema, os filmes apresentam visões estéticas diferentes, que levam a entendimentos contraditórios sobre a convivência entre japoneses e brasileiros no Japão. Este artigo discute como o uso de planos gerais e a continuidade espacial nesses dois filmes expressam essas visões. Os planos gerais são um ponto de partida para a identificar a localização das cenas e ações nos filmes. O objetivo é demonstrar como a construção do espaço diegético e da continuidade espacial proporcionada pela montagem passa a ser constituinte do tipo de relação representada entre estrangeiros e nativos nos filmes. A análise é realizada com base nos espaços representados, suas características históricas e culturais e algumas das implicações políticas dessas representações.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2023-04-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revistapos/article/view/4116710.35699/2237-5864.2023.41167PÓS: Journal of the Arts Postgraduation Program at EBA/UFMG; Vol. 13 No. 27 (2023): Jan-Abril - Teoria Queer/cuir e o ensino de Arte; 344-367PÓS: Periódico del Programa de Posgrado en Artes de EBA/UFMG; Vol. 13 Núm. 27 (2023): Jan-Abril - Teoria Queer/cuir e o ensino de Arte; 344-367PÓS: Revista do Programa de Pós-graduação em Artes da EBA/UFMG; v. 13 n. 27 (2023): Jan-Abril - Teoria Queer/cuir e o ensino de Arte; 344-3672238-20461982-9507reponame:Pós (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
