From the center to the periphery of power

Abstract

Negotiations are being established in the center and especially at the borders of social formations, where crossed by gender, class, race and sexuality is evident in the field of artistic performances in general, especially in the filmographies that mark the history of diasporic subjects, forming one's own transit-between place, marked either by actions of revolt and resistance, or by shares of total submission. This article performs a discussion of colonial discourse (and eurocentric) and its representation in two film narratives. In the film Amelia and The Piano, seeks to highlight the moments of tension and resistance between different cultures, from the concept of Cultural Translation in the perspective of Homi Bhabha.
