Abstract

What can the landscape do? This is the question that pushes this work and that was inspired by the question “what can the body do?”, by the philosopher Espinosa. When we use the expression “what can”, we are dealing with a potential matter: an opening to the variation field of the landscape. Aligned to the expectations of the contemporary thought, in the context of post-structuralism, we see that Geography, especially on studies focused on the deleuzian thought, has been included more and more in a movement already accomplished by other sciences to comprehend the images as a privileged language to talk about the world, taking part intensively in a visual education that affects our experience on/with the world. In this context, this research looks into the folding between Cinema and Geography, bringing cinematographic language as a way to question the concept of landscape by the notions of scale, body, polisensorality and intensity. Hence, the movie “A história da eternidade” (2014), by the director Camilo Cavalcante, will be analysed. Therefore, we intend to tear the tension of the most traditional concept of landscape (as representation, window of distance contemplation, exteriority), echoing minorities variations that the movie puts in question to think about a landscape experience with the entire body.
