SERGUEI NO MÉXICO: GREENAWAY E A REPRESENTAÇÃO PÓS-MODERNA DO ARTISTA QUEER/EISENSTEIN IN MEXICO: GREENAWAY'S POST-MODERN REPRESENTATION OF THE QUEER ARTIST

GREENAWAY'S POST-MODERN REPRESENTATION OF THE QUEER ARTIST Abstract In his film Eisenstein in Guanajuato (2016), British director Peter Greenaway pays homage to Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, a pioneer who helped to create the language of film. he biopic focuses on Eisenstein's stay in Mexico. he film is also a meditation on Greenaway's own aesthetic choices. hroughout his career, Greenaway has made extensive use of intermedia, expanding the vocabulary of "ideogrammic montage", a theory of film editing first proposed by Eisenstein himself. he biopic, as a genre, became over time a platform that allows for the domestication of the figure of the artist or author and for the representation of the creative process as a purging act of the creative body. Greenaway subverts expectations regarding the biopic genre by shunning realism when representing the artist and by associating a queer identity and Eisenstein's body to the artist's processes of sensorial exploration and aesthetic development. O uso de imagens sobrepostas, do efeito picture in picture, a narrativa nao linear, o descompasso entre som e imagem, etc., sao aplicaçôes daquilo que Eisenstein defendia ao afirmar que a composiçao ou enquadramento de uma cena ou tomada devem ser consideradas como "um caso, por assim dizer, molecular de montagem" (EISENSTEIN, 1977, p.179).
