Deterritorialisation processes in the Portuguese emigratory context. Cinematic representations of departing and returning. (original) (raw)

Abstract

Portuguese cinema has produced important works to understand the rupture of individuals with the “original territory” and the integration in the “new territory”, based on the concepts of deterritorialisation, reterritorialisation, and multiterritoriality. So, it is important to discuss the relation between the representations of home, belonging, nationality by the characters on different territories. Portraying different times and spaces in the history and geography of emigration in Portugal, it will be discussed two films - Cinco dias, cinco noites (Five days, five nights) (1996) by José Fonseca e Costa, and Duplo Exílio (Double Exile) (2001) by Artur Ribeiro. The former deals with the clandestine departure of Portuguese to Europe; the latter deals with the return of the second generation of “Portuguese-American” immigrants, in to the Azores.
