NÃO ME CONDENES ANTES QUE EU ME EXPLIQUE: memórias de um documentarista e pesquisador da cultura brasileira entre as décadas de 1980 e 2020

Abstract

The writing of the affective-intellectual memories of a documentary and researcher of Brazilian culture, from his entry into the undergraduate course in Literature, at State of Rio de Janeiro University, UERJ, in the 1980s, to his doctorate, forty years later, at the same institution. Based on an immersion in lived experience and the consequent production of writing that assumes the text in the first person, the fragmentary and digressive form and the associations between literature, essays and films, the research addresses transformations in Brazilian culture and political and social life in throughout this period. In addition to being a subjective writing, the thesis works with a historical panorama in which a greater diversity of subjects, from different social strata, are presented or represented in Brazilian films – fiction or documentaries - through texts also written in the first-person, whether in the form of letters, diaries, poems, songs, as well as in the narrative voices of the directors of these films themselves
