Morte e transe: criação e conjuntura em Glauber Rocha.

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to outline a panorama of the connections between Antônio das Mortes, Paulo Martins, and Glauber Rocha. The analysis was based on a triad of observation: the historical and cultural context in which these characters and the author are situated; the diegetic universes of the cinematographic works where the characters appear; and the individual and intellectual aspects of Glauber Rocha's trajectory. A qualitative approach was used, emphasizing immersion in selected cinematographic productions and analyzing the author's trajectory through his personal accounts, such as his letters (Rocha, 1997). Bibliographic reviews were carried out to deepen the understanding of key notions and concepts. The findings revealed a rich and, at many moments, non-oppositional relationship between fiction and reality. It was concluded that Glauber Rocha and his characters share anxieties, contradictions, and dilemmas that transcend the works, reflecting profound aspects of the human condition and Brazilian society.
