Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a representação da memória da imigração japonesa no
Brasil com base nos filmes Gaijin: Caminhos da Liberdade e Gaijin: Ama-me Como Sou,
ambos dirigidos por Tizuka Yamasaki. Iniciada em 1908, a imigração japonesa para o Brasil se
deu por grande parte do século XX, quando as regiões sul e sudeste, nas quais se estabeleceram,
eram colonizadas. Hoje, após mais de 100 anos do início desse processo, ainda é possível
identificar os impactos desse evento na identidade dos nipo-brasileiros. Nesse sentido,
compreendemos o cinema como um repositório de memória influente nessas questões, por
representar a memória e alimentá-la com sua produção. Sendo assim, para este trabalho,
recorremos aos métodos estabelecidos pelos estudos de memória transcultural no cinema, e
buscamos analisar os filmes com base nesses conceitos. Para isso, também buscamos registros
de historiadores e antropólogos, em sua maioria, nipo-brasileiros, para compreender a forma
como essas memórias foram representadas nos filmes. Dessa forma, a análise cena por cena
consiste em diálogos entre a metodologia teórica e a contextualização histórica. Por fim, foi
possível compreender os filmes Gaijin como parte do repositório de memória da imigração
japonesa, uma vez que representações como essa são importantes para a construção de
identidade dos descendentes e a constituição de um arquivo mnemônico.
This research aims to analyze how the Japanese immigration to Brazil is represented in the movies Gaijin: Caminhos da Liberdade and Gaijin: Ama-me Como Sou, both directed by Tizuka Yamasaki. From 1908 through most of the 20th century, Japanese immigrants settled in both south and southeastern regions in Brazil, where they took part in the colonization process. Nowadays, over 100 years after the immigration began, it is still possible to identify this event’s impacts on nipo-brazilians’ identities. In that sense, we take cinema as an influent memory repository for that matter, as it not only represents memory, but also feeds it with its products. Hence this dissertation’s methods focus on transcultural memory studies on cinema to analyze said movies. We also recured to data on history and anthropology, mostly researched by nipo brazilians, in order to understand how these memories were represented in both films. Based on these sources, the scene-by-scene analysis is based on dialogues between the theoretical methodology and historical context. At last, it was possible to consider both Gaijin movies as parts of Japanese immigration to Brazil’s memory repository, since representations such as these are extremely relevant for the constitution of its descendants’ identity, as well as in the building of a mnemonic archive.
