ABSTRACT

Interpretations of the past in audiovisual texts have increased exponentially in recent years, giving rise to the need to analyse a context saturated by visual representations of history that are replacing oral storytelling and traditional narratives. This article offers a reflection on the visual uses of memory and the representation of the past, focusing on documentary cinema at three different historical moments, based on the analysis of representative films from each period: first, the WWII propaganda documentary as the basis for propaganda film rhetoric in the transmission of history; second, the contemporary non-fiction film, in its self-reflexive, subjective essay form; and third, the web documentary as a more recent manifestation of a hybrid multimedia format that is essentially interpretative.

摘要

近年来，视听文本中对过去的解释呈指数级增长，因此需要分析被历史的视觉表现所取代的背景，这些视觉表现正在取代口头讲故事和传统叙事。本文基于对各个时期代表性电影的分析，对记忆的视觉用途和过去的再现进行反思，重点关注三个不同历史时刻的纪录片：第一，二战宣传纪录片作为宣传的基础历史传播中的电影修辞；第二，当代非小说电影，以其自我反省的、主观的散文形式；第三，网络纪录片作为混合多媒体格式的最新表现形式，本质上是解释性的。
