Frontiers between reality, fiction and representation: the multiple personalities of Cowboy.
Keywords:
Documentary, representation, reality, fiction.Abstract
The documentary Cowboy is a film that acts directly on the senses of the viewer. From the representations of its actor and its multiple characters, the film impacts and confuses, carefully crossing the border between reality and fiction. Understanding the film's creative process, as well as the structure of its cinematographic proposal, is imperative to understand its critique of social relations. Therefore, the present study seeks to make an analysis on the documentary cinematography of the film, raising relevant questions about its narrative proposal. From a realistic contemporary aesthetic, we seek to analyze the differentiation between what can be described as real or how fictional within history. Likewise, from the personalities reported by Cowboy, we use Goffman's studies of the representation of the individual in society to seek explanations on how this type of act affects us and how it changes our perception of the definition of reality in our own daily.Downloads
