Abstract

The proposition of this paper is to investigate the television series America (directed by João Moreira Salles) made for the former channel Rede Manchete in 1989. Several questions could be explored in this documentary such as: how do these images build national imaginaries? Do such images present themselves as “portraits of the real” or eventually enlighten subjective visions? The paper however investigates the dynamics of the landscape notion in America according to the questions called at that time upon. It’s a recently-discovered repertory of practices (video) and movement glances in which the American territory reappears as an object of aspiration and experience of privation, that is, landscape
