O CINEMA E A LEGISLAÇÃO DO ESTADO NOVO: CONTEXTO E ANÁLISE
Journal Title: Itinerarios. Revista de estudios lingüísticos, literarios, históricos y antropológicos - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue
Abstract
Thanks to the eff orts of Antonio Ferro, who was passionate about cinema and its ideological possibilities, the Seventh Art became one of the Portuguese New State (Estado Novo) interests in the late 30s. This fact opened the legislative process of eff ective control of all aspects of Portuguese cinematography. An analysis of historical and political context of that period leads to a better understanding of the complexity of the role designed for the fi lm by state authorities and discovers the reasons behind the failure of this policy. The texts studied for this investigation are both enacted legislation acts as well as the parliamentary debates; all together, those documents part from the legislative process. The methods applied to this study are text, context and (explicit and implicit) content analysis and its interpretations. This research demonstrates that the cinematography was treated as an educational and propaganda tool, which was useful but also dangerous and, consequently, not understood as an agent of artistic expression. Some superfi cial attempts of film industrialization were not realized because of the characteristics and failures of Salazar’s system. The ideological and political changes of the 60s shed some light on the fiasco of the Portuguese legislation and, in fact, the weakness of the national cinema.
