Documentário jornalístico: análise de entrevistas no documentário Os Capacetes Brancos (2016)

Abstract

The present work has the main intention of discussing the representations of subject, context and everyday life contended in the documentary The White Helmets (2016), using an analytic eye, the intermediate observation and considering the possibility of an intersection between the documentary genre and the journalistic activity. Therefore, the work sees the interview as a foundation for this intersection, focusing on the development of an analysis based on the Cultural Studies’ perspectives, and using the Cultural Analysis as a method of valuing the experiences, conflicts and cultural matters that surround the portraited picture of the White Helmets in the film’s narrative. The research’s results show that, to propose the existence of a “journalistic documentary” using the interview as a foundation, it’s necessary to expand our visions about what should be approached in the interviewing processes – and reason about the formulas used to collect information and its eventual disposition in a journalistic narrative.
