Abstract
El estudio revisa la mirada etnográfica del largometraje Silvestre de João César Monteiro (1981) realizado con recurso creativo a composiciones tradicionales (Doncella guerrera, por ejemplo) y el propósito de movilizarlas en el sentido de una aproximación al ethos portugués. El estudio, además de des-cubrir en el tejido de la película un romance muy conocido en el espacio de las lenguas ibéricas (Veneno de Moriana), encuentra en las tradiciones sometidas al guión la piedra de toque del propio sentido de Silvestre, es decir, la materialización del concepto de ser portugués con contornos peninsulares y la base para la reflexión del cineasta sobre su gesto creativo.
This study reviews the ethnographic perspective on the feature film Silvestre by João César Monteiro (1981) that was created utilizing traditional compositions (Doncella guerrera, for example) and with the purpose of using them in the sense of an approximation to Portuguese ethos. In addition, besides discovering in the film a very well-known ballad in the space of
the Iberian languages (Veneno de Moriana), this study finds in the traditions subordinated to the script the touchstone of the meaning of Silvestre, that is, the materialization of the concept of being Portuguese with peninsular contours and the basis for the filmmaker’s reflection on his own creative gesture.
