The traditional discussion of cinephilia, with its canons and developments in the field of cinema - and which reverberate in the realization, critical practice, curatorship, teaching and research on films - was based almost exclusively on the perspective of a "universal subject" : white, male, cis and hetero normative and, therefore, in the greater legitimacy of this subject's gaze. A plural filmic culture encompasses reflections that refuse to hierarchize the many different cosmovisions and poetics possible of articulation in images and sounds and in the elaboration of theories and thoughts.
This dossier opens up to articles that engage in the task of expanding the possibilities of understanding film culture, imagining paradigms for its multiple aspects, in a widening of circumscriptions beyond the “universal” canons. Interdisciplinary reflections with the field of cinema are encouraged. Among the ideas that drive our debates, we highlight: Feminist Black Poetics by Denise Ferreira da Silva, New Filmic Culture by Girish Shambu, Critical Fabulation by Saidiya Hartman, Spiral Temporalities and Afrographs by Leda Maria Martins, Aquilombamento by Beatriz Nascimento, Opacity by Édouard Glissant, Cognitive Plantation of Jota Mombaça, among others. We hope to establish a dialogue between these and other non-hegemonic epistemological incursions. Texts that articulate from issues caused by black, indigenous, female, lgbtqia+ cinematographies, among others, will be welcome.
