Perrault e a narrativa de travessias

The organization of journeys with characters is a fruitful way to stimulate, in their minds, comparisons between one before and one after. The adoption of such an approach allows not only to reveal the becoming of characters, but also to favor the emergence of narratives related to the passages between before and after the journey. Besides, the crossing of social and geographic spaces distant of their daily experience can stimulate the exercise of comparison between ways of life and of being in the world. This affects directly the central issue of belonging of the characters in the movies of Quebec filmmaker Pierre Perrault. In this paper, we approach these questions through the discussion of Perrault’s movie Le règne du jour (1967).
