We shall analyse the work of Pachi Tamer （@cachafaz） in Instagram,and in particular the ＂Jim-Oktoberfest＂ case, the One-Dollar-Dreams site and the same author＇s ＂Sebasti^in＂ case from a semiotic perspective.展开更多

The aim is to contemplate both the film＇s narrative and formal aspect, in order to deeply understand the way it represents a basic human contradiction： the subjugation provoked by gravity （necessity） and the will to overcome this superior structural force through action （freedom）. Therefore, this paper intends to show that such a monumental audiovisual work is a very profound cinematographic thesis about human condition, also reflecting about the reason of social conflicts and sorrows. The method adopted in this paper implies both a conceptual film analysis and a glance over the audiovisual style, considering the intersections between the varieties of languages used by Reggio to compose this huge film indexed as a documentary and literally being a creative treatment of＂reality＂.展开更多
