    Geography is a saying of the world, a way of narrating the human experience on Earth, a geographical narrative. Therefore, artistic languages, understood as manifestations and expressions of geographicity, gain prominence in geographic studies, as they are capable of promoting reflections about the human-world relationship, main concern of the cultural approach of Geography. This understanding accentuated and renewed the relationship between geographic science and different artistic languages. Currently, film works, which already have a long history of contribution to Geography, are invited to collaborate in reflections on the human experience on Earth and talks about space. In effect, films, artistic language of a narrative and visual nature, are understood as geographies and as ways of saying the experience of human beings in the world. Therefore, in a time marked by the cinematography of the world and the return to the imaginary, we chose to understand the relations of geographies in the films of the trilogy The Lord of Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). For this, we discuss the narrative nature of Geography and Eric Dardel's notion of geographicity. We also elaborated a theoretical discussion about the Geography-Cinema dialogue, opting for the idea of spreading the two fields of knowledge. Along with the bibliographic search, the methodology is composed of hermeneutical interpretations of film elements. The thesis proposes to overcome the theoretical-methodological bases of the Geography-Cinema relationship, founded on a mimetic bias, that sees film as a copy of reality, or on an archaeological bias, that conceives film as a mask of the world. Under the inspiration of the phenomenological-existential approach connected with the discursive matrices of the landscape, we propose that the geographical meanings are constructed in the landscape-geographer encounter. This is personalized and mixes thoughts, affections, imaginations and all elements of the landscape. Such proposal is supported by congeniality, interexpression and breaks with the previous dichotomous views, promoting a perspective of coexistences, the “spreading” bias. This bias unites elements, formerly considered opposites, such as: science and art; reason and imagination; subjectivity and objectivity; sign and meaning. The conclusion then is that, as a legend of the world and narrative of geographies, the trilogy The Lord of the Rings reveals discourses about rooting, mobility and care for the Earth.

    Afetividades em enquadramentos: os discursos das experiências de lugaridade em o Senhor dos Anéis - a sociedade do anel
    (2017-02-16) Nascimento, Francyjonison Custódio do; Costa, Maria Helena Braga e Vaz da; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5114110813711387; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4939624862777736; Dantas, Eugênia Maria; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6296149707446296; Name, Leonardo dos Passos Miranda; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9797813026784708
    Geography and Art interact since the beginning of the geographic science, but they came closer more vigorously during the Cultural Geography’s recovery process approach. The dynamics of this renovation allowed geographers - especially those humanists - to work with symbolic codes and representations of the world by Literature, Photography, Cinema etc. Cinematographic works, in particular, have gained significance for a geographic analyses. Notwithstanding, different understandings about the Cinema and consequently about the ways to analyze it, brought to films their own statute, escaping from the mimetic notion that film is a copy of reality. Nowadays, then, it is postulated that the Cinema is a way to present the world and, therefore, it is imbued with discourses about space. The Cinema is an important subject for the studies on perception and experience within space, place and arising affections which are held under the landscape language's aegis. Based on these assumptions, the aim here is to analyze how place, in its phenomenological-existential conception, manifests itself in the film The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), discussing about the relationship between Geography and Cinema, about place, as well as about the concept of landscape. Along with the bibliographic search, the hermeneutics procedure shapes the analysis of specific frames taken from the film and also some of the characters’ lines. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) presents a sense of place and experiences of the living in many and different environments, setting out a geographic discourse of an anti-modernist contente.
