Lo schermo performativo e il suo sguardo sugli autoritratti audiovisivi = The performative screen and its look on audiovisual self-portraits


Abstract


The performative screen and its look on audiovisual self-portraits. In the context of the film studies, the theme of self-portraiture is often explored in its relationship with the self-documentary and auto-ethnographic tendencies which, in the contemporary mediascape, have led to a reversal of the role of the spectator, involving him/her in a process of emancipation from the predominantly attentive position. Like home movies and social movies demonstrate, the spectator can now perform a series of practices that allow him/her to become exposed subject through the images of himself and produced by himself. The spectatorial look on the screen is infact involved in a process of reversibility and oscillation between the practice of making self-portraits and the self-portrait objects, becoming, at the very end of the creative process, the gaze of the screen itself. The particular relationship between the audiovisual configurations of the self and the display-screen, progressively inserted in a performative and reflexive rhetoric that significantly departs from the pictorial and literary self-portraits, is what we are investigating
