Subjectivity and transgression in filmic landscapes

This article is aimed-sat discussing filmic representation of urban landscape taking into account the influence of cinema on spatial relations from the creation of new forms of urban space perception. Emphasis will be given to the idea of filmic construction of urban landscape considered in different theoretical frameworks, in order to discuss the notion of concrete geography - which concerns physical reality - in relation to the dynamics that connects experienced and subjective cinematic urban spaces. The approach of this article is also a 'specific cinematic geography' which is evident in some urban experiences related to several forms of marginality that are related to the contemporary urban context. Difference, fragmentation, plurality and conflict are indissociable parts of a whole and they are closely interconnected are related to the crescent marginalization process in big cities around the world. Some film examples taken from the Brazilian cinematographic production will be used here to help the thinking about the appearance of a kind of 'geography' within which different forms of difference, fragmentation, plurality and conflicts take action in the filmic sphere, to represent the contemporary urban society in a specific way.
