ENQUANTO SOBEM OS CRÉDITOS: EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA EM CINEMA E SUA PROSPECÇÃO PARA LITERATURA João Pessoa 2019

Abstract

The present paper aims at prospecting the emancipation of the aesthetic experience in literary reading via cinema. Relying on the fictionalization of the audience of open-ended movies, the study sought to scrutinize the aesthetic experience in literature, as premised by Santos (2017), that it is possible, through cinema, to achieve an improved aesthetic experience in literary reading. Thus, some written and online-published comments about the end of open-ended movies were analyzed according to the audience's experience. Those comments constituted the corpus of the studying on aesthetic experience in regard to Wolfgang Iser's Theories of Aesthetic Response and Literary Anthropology, both of used as parameter for thinking about the meta-procedural processes involved in the literary reading and the cinema experiencing; as well as the awareness of how such procedures can affect the act of reading. The comments were selected from the films “The Separation” (2012), directed by Asghar Farhadi, “The One I Love” (2014), directed by Charlie McDowell; and “In the House” (2013), directed by François Ozon. Some categories were built to prior analysis and classification. The classification generated two absolute and relative frequency tables, one for the coding performed and another for the rating of films in evaluative terms represented by stars. The analysis of the two tables plus the analytical reading of the corpus provided indicators for inferences about the aesthetic experience of the audience spotted. It emerged from this final analysis a prospection for an aesthetic emancipation in literary reading. The study opens new ways for deepening the teaching of reading literature.
