For an Anthropology of Cinema: performance, gender and political territorialities in contemporary

Abstract

This essay was extracted from the post-doctoral internship report carried out in the Postgraduate Program in Social Anthropology (PPGAS) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), over a period of 45 months, from June 1, 2014 to March 31, 2018. During this period, I was a permanent professor and associate researcher at PPGAS, working directly in the Master's course and in the Center for Anthropology and Plural Knowledge (NAPlus), carrying out research, teaching and extension. Regarding research, the project was an offshoot of my doctoral research (SILVA, 2012), in which I investigated a sexual diversity film festival, Mix Brasil, held in São Paulo since 1993. The initial idea of ​​this postgraduate research -doctorate was to expand the focus of analysis to other festivals of the same type, in Brazil, and think about the extent to which film festivals become contemporary devices for the production of subjectivities, directly linked to the fields of power/knowledge that circumscribe gender and sexuality , at the same time as they are developments of contemporary representation policies, more precisely those connected to the LGBT movements of recent decades.
