2 ou 3 Choses que Je Sais D’Elle: o desenho conceitual de um território acústico

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the sound and image relations in cinema through the analyses of 2 ou 3 Choses que Je Sais D’Elle (1967) by Jean-Luc Godard. First, we will identify the hegemonic practices of sound and image connection in cinema and, afterwards, point out the aesthetic dissents provoked by the French director. Godard draws a complex acoustic territory applying conceptual procedures to create sound events and articulation between sound and image that demands a process of deciphering by the listener/spectator. Sound events conjoin sensibility, memory, emotions, meaning, and even image, composing multiplicities that we call Acoustic Territories. We will analyze how the acoustic territory of 2 ou 3 Choses que Je Sais D’Elle draws new forms of articulation between sound and image and thus calls for new forms of relation between listener/spectator and cinema.
