Crítica cinematográfica: do gênero às práticas situadas.

Abstract

This article aims at presenting and discussing some íssues of my dissertation [1] in which I investigated the situated practice of film criticism by problematizing the way participants of a specialized community of cinema critics conceive the role of the midiatic-joumalistic activity in the composition of their own written production. The discussion was based on interviews with members of the referred community and members of a community of university students. Other sources, both oral and written, available on the internet, were also considered. The analysis of such documents revealed that the critiques were not always consensually seen by the interviewees as belonging to the genre called film criticism. This fact motivated us to try to understand the criteria used by those communities to include or exclude certain types of critiques from the domain of film criticism.
