Metáforas cenográficas: A Relação Cena-Trilha Sonora na Multimodalidade e a Retórica Musical Contemporânea

Abstract

Since multimodality in a contemporary context is strongly relevant, the discussion brought in this paper lies in the way how music may add to several other languages to convey and intensify meanings in a multimodal text. Particularly, a motion picture exemplifies how the language bonds may create multimodal texts in contemporaneity. This paper discusses the metaphorical links composed by soundtrack and scenes of two episodes from the movie Wild Tales. The theoretical foundation of this study is supported by Rhetoric and Music theory. Based on these two theories, this paper presents how the image-sound link works as a persuasive matter. A qualitative analysis was performed in the two episodes to observe how the image-sound link may create or intensify meanings. The discussion of the results shows that the discourse intentionality may be observed through the way how metaphors were created by the image-sound link.
