Orientalismo: o cinema Hollywoodiano e os discursos sobre as marcas do terror na invenção do oriente (2002-2016).

Abstract

This paper deals with the West's reading of the East, as Edward Said shows us, in a relationship with the cinema and Orientalism of the early 21st century and the quakes caused by the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Thus, we will see how cinematic discourses operate with the goal of building an enemy that must be destroyed, discourses that are most often generalized. It will also be discussed how within the cinematic discourses occurs what Michel Foucault (2008) will call "the will of truth", in this aspect, we can see how much ―Hollywoodiano‖ Cinema is present the speeches that impose themselves as "truth" And those who are silenced. From the film language will be analyzed how the cinema has represented the East, Islam and The Islamic State, causing a confusion as to what each one represents. We will read the work of Said, showing how the Orient is still conceived by the media as the representation of backwardness and violence. Films like Flight 93 (2005), World Trade Center (2006), Reign Over Me (2007) and The Hurt Locker (2008), and Body of Lies (2008) are examples of productions that have become a perfect vehicle for achieving a great And I built a thought to support the belligerent attitudes of the United States government. However, it will be noticed that in the period of 2009 to our days the American political scene and the discourses around the governmental system, presented some changes, and with this we could perceive changes even in the cinematographic discourse. Thus, we will analyze films such as, Green Zone (2010), and London Has Fallen (1016), paralleling the periods in which the United States was governed by George W. Bush and Barak Obama, analyzing the disparities between the two and how Comes to us from cinematic language.
