O olho e o olhar como espessuras significantes na trilogia fílmica O senhor dos anéis

Abstract

Films are art, language and symbolic materiality. As a kind of language, films get their meanings in history, as discourse. As a kind of discourse they relate to the socio-historical context and as a language they reverberate, change and spread. We analyze the film trilogy The Lord of the Rings as a piece of work an artistic production - that can be considered, according to NECKEL (2010), as a sample of the artistic discourse. We consider the theoretical framework of the Franco-Brazilian Discourse Analysis, mainly of authors such as Pêcheux (1969, 1975), Orlandi (2005) and Neckel (idem), to analyze our corpus. We aim to findthe discursive regularities that operate in the filmic narrative. Along the trilogy, we analyze the repetition of the focus of the camera in the eyes of some characters, resulting in what we see is ocularcentrism, and also of the discourse of hope by some characters.
