| Abstract | |
This research intends to investigate the tensions and articulations between the narrative and the sensorial in the cinema, having the film character as a guiding thread caught amongst the conventions of the narrative and the immediacy of the sensorial. We will argue that the film character is not only defined and conditioned by its narrative and representational implications (character-person), it is also an important catalyst of affects that stimulate our memory and imagination (characterfigure), and more substantially, an effect generated by concrete elements that often manifest themselves in terms of performativity and plasticity (character-presence). By reformulating the notion of character as \"character effect\" and exploring possible disjunctions between body, actor, and character (especially in films in which several actors play the same role, or on the contrary, the same actor plays several roles), we will advance the character as a privileged instrument for the analysis of the frictions and the complementarity of the narrative (signification/interpretation), the figural (sensation), and the material (perception) dimensions of the cinema.
