The languages of trauma: cinematographies of the poetic

Abstract

The trauma is unspeakable. From this statement by Seligmann-Silva (2008), the present work tries to understand in what ways new languages ??are forged in the attempt to represent spaces and times of violence. Thus, the book Homoíne by the Mozambican writer Eduardo White and the film Concerning violence by Göran Hugo Olsson will be related because they are two representations of situations of horror. In addition to discursive diversity, the different contexts will also be highlighted, in an attempt to convert the created and projected images – on the screen, in the imagination – into spaces for debates about violence.
