Imagem, montagem e história em Videogramas de uma Revolução de Harun Farocki e Andrei Ujică

Abstract

This article proposes to relate the analysis of the film Videograms of a Revolution (1992), by Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujică, with the discussion present in the works of Jacques Ranciere and Georges Didi-Huberman on the relationship between image, montage and history. Both authors, each in their own way, mobilize the idea that the montage operations made with the images make it possible to elaborate discourses on history, as well as to problematize notions of historical time. The film chosen for this analysis, made from a compilation of records of the events that led to the fall of the communist regime in Romania, is permeated by elements pertinent to the debate, above all by the emphasis on the role of technical images in this process.
