Evincement and fictionality on contemporaneous Brazilian documentary: a analyse of Orestes (2015), by Rodrigo Siqueira.
Evidence. Fictionality. Contemporaneous Brazilian documentary. Semiopragmatic. Orestes.
This dissertation investigates the process of evincement on the contemporaneous Brazilian documentary, focusing on productions that concern both issues: silenced memories of those ones who suffered violence and a narrative intermingle between fiction and documentary, on a process that settle itself as a response to the absence of evidences and/or documents from the past that it is wanted to access. We argue from the point of view of rhetoric, adopting as theoretical reference Bill Nichols, intending to comprehend how the documentary maker’s documental discourse is built and the ways used by him to access and introduce to us the character’s past. To analyse this connection between evincement and fictionality, we analysed the documentaries Orestes (2015), by Rodrigo Siqueira, in the light of Roger Odin’s semio-pragmatic model, observing the sense production and the ways of reading created by the film from the construction of evidence.
