Uma poética da cidade: vídeo, memória e performance em Arnaldo Antunes

Abstract

The object of this research project is to analyze the video poems included under Nome of ArnaldoAntunes.In the development of this work, we limited our research to the following three representative video poems:Não tem que(0.54 s); Agora (1.23 s) and the Pessoa (0.55 s).In this study we were preoccupied in understanding the specificities of the video and the possibilities of it being transforming into a work of art.With this objective in mind, we attached a theory of the video, a history of this vehicle, and a communicative and artistic diversity that it improved.For the analysis of the selected poems, we use the basic Peircean Semiotic methodology, which enabledan approach to the privileged nature of the objects by hybrids, such as in video poetry.If at first point a theory of the video served as a support, the city as the semiotic construction space and memory as it reconfigures the video, our subjects were representative, since they are three of the most recurring works of the author.
