Abstract

A reflection on image, aesthetics and politics from the notion of "regime of image" and "scene of dissensus", by Ranciére, as we analyze the film "Memy Bijok: a festa dos homens" (2018), by Beture Collective of Mebêngôkre-Kayapó filmmakers. We argue that the film understood as a cultural construction, political action and poetic of resistance, demonstrates the binding dimension of the image, beyond the representational dimension, and puts into question the very operativity of the image in the structuring of a common world, calling us to think about the modes of knowledge intrinsic to the regimes of imagery through which we transit.
