Cinema. Subalternities. Representations. Descolonization. Que Horas Ela Volta?. Anna Muylaert.

This dissertation aims to analyze the representations of subalternity scenarios in the Brazilian film Que Horas Ela Volta? (2015). For this, the social relations in the filmic diegesis are observed, which are centered in a house located in the Morumbi neighborhood in São Paulo. It will be analyzed, thus, the dynamics that run through the plot to understand the relationships between the characters along with the elements present in the dialogues and scenarios that build the subalternization. The dissertation has as theoretical and critical contributions the cultural, post-colonial and decolonial studies that, together, reveal the complexity of the concept of subalternity. The film analysed is an artistic object which represents the figure of the housemaid, as well as other subjects, and which, through art, potentiates a decolonization of the subject, in the ways of feeling, of seeing, of acting and of perceiving oneself in the world. It is observed a policy and a praxis that can be interpreted as decolonial, that is: of the protagonism of the subalternized, of transformations of hegemonic practices and the possibility of changes, establishing a praxis that challenges the regimes of representation and hegemonic visual identification.
