Resumo: | This essay tells of our meeting with the many questions raised by the film "Mother of George" by Andrew Dosunmu, USA, 2013. We talk here about what happened to us as spectators of the work. We share the way our bodies and looks were crossed by the encounter with this filmic narrative, either to say, the state of aesthetic-political awareness established in us. With this intention, we present traces of this encounter with the characters Adenike and Ayodele, a Nigerian couple who lives in Brooklyn and weaves the lines that involve the (im) possibility of conceiving a baby every day. As restless spectators, we are involved by the life that pulsates in a scenario in which gender, otherness, birth, tradition, matriarchy, suffering, care and family arrangements announce forms of (re)existence to the city and to the grotesque framed by the looks of whiteness. We follow the steps of the characters through the avenues of the city and as we follow their marks we travel between speed, slowness, deterritorialization and events that give outline, movement and outcome to the film. |

Falamos aqui sobre aquilo que nos aconteceu enquanto espectadores(as) da obra. Compartilhamos o modo como os nossos corpos e olhares foram atravessados pelo filme, quer dizer, o estado de sensibilização estético-política instaurado em nós. Com essa intenção, apresentamos rastros deste encontro com os personagens Adenike e Ayodele, casal nigeriano que vive no Brooklyn e tece cotidianamente as linhas que envolvem a (im)possibilidade de conceber um bebê. Como expectadores(as) inquietos(as), somos envolvidos(as) pela vida que pulsa em um cenário no qual gênero, alteridade, natalidade, tradição, matriarcado, sofrimento, cuidado e arranjos familiares anunciam formas de (re)existência à cidade e ao grotesco emoldurado pelos olhares da branquitude. Acompanhamos os passos dos(as) personagens pelas avenidas da cidade e ao seguir suas marcas viajamos entre rapidez, lentidão, desterritorialização e acontecimentos que dão contorno, movimento e desfecho ao filme.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2022-10-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/zeroseis/article/view/8132310.5007/1980-4512.2022.e81323Zero-a-Seis; v. 24 n. 46 (2022): Dossiê Arte da Pergunta: a criança como propositora de sentidos estéticos; 908-9251980-4512reponame:Zero-a-seisinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/zeroseis/article/view/81323/51858Copyright (c) 2022 Rogério Machado Rosa, Marta Corrêa de Moraes, Luciana de Freitas Silveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRosa, Rogério MachadoCorrêa de Moraes, Martade Freitas Silveira, Luciana 2022-10-27T14:05:17Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/81323Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/zeroseis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/zeroseis/oaijoao.josue@ufsc.br1980-45121980-4512opendoar:2022-10-27T14:05:17Zero-a-seis - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
