SUMMARY:

This dissertation proposes an investigation on how audio works in the soundtrack of two films scripted and directed by the Bahian filmmaker Glauber Rocha. In the research, the films Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol (1964) and Antônio das Mortes - O Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro (1969) were compared to the manifestos Eztetyka da Fome (Rocha, 1965) and Eztetyka do Sonho (Rocha, 1971), aiming to understand how the sound aspects (voices, sound effects and noises) of the films dialogue with the material written by the director. The first part of the dissertation aims to situate the reader about the manifestations of the aesthetics of hunger and dream in the context of the Nuevo Cine Latino-Americano. It sought to understand the movement in which Rocha was inserted and the influence that this ecosystem had on his cinematography (especially the films under analysis). To this end, the manifesto was discussed as a contribution to the filmic works. Besides the Glauberian texts, some of the main manifestos of the Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano were also exposed in order to present key ideas, common points, and diverse issues that contributed to the maturation of the movement. In the second chapter, before entering the sound analysis of the films object of the research, it was necessary to briefly comment on the sound production mode of Brazilian films during the period related to Cinema Novo, using as theoretical reference Borges (2008), Costa (2006) and Guerrini (2009). To analyze the sound of the films we chose to use some of the concepts (voices, foley and sound effects) established by Débora Opolski (2013). To observe the music of the films, we chose to do a literature review of texts that address the music in Glauber Rocha's films from the 1960s: Guerrini Jr. (2009), Maia and Azevêdo Jr. (2016), Alvim (2014) and Carvalho (2011). Aspects of mixing were also addressed based on Bordwell and Thompson (2013). The third and last chapter sought to understand how the sound aspects and their productions operated in the dialectics of the films and how/if there is any correlation with the two manifestos written by the filmmaker.
