Filmic pathologies, Crip Studies, Somateca, Decolonization in CinemaAbstract
In this article we analyze which aesthetic-formal operations that the feature film “E agora? Lembra-me” (Joaquim Pinto, 2013) tries to subvert the colonial-pathological character of this filmic body that the director himself calls a “notebook from a year of clinical trials”. Our reflection deepens the study of sick narratives as a power to visualize diverse bodies in a formal and thematic sense, thus expanding illness as a naturocultural experience and an instrument for formal subversion. This perspective is based on a theoretical and methodological approach that we have called film pathologies and on Filmmaker Theory (respecting the autobiographical character of the film). We use the philosophical-political basis of crip studies to propose another type of archiving, the anti-colonial somateca, where the power of life is manifested.
