Abstract:

Abstract We aim to investigate the ways of using the soundscape in the essay film Heart of a Dog (Laurie Anderson, 2015). Methodologically we rely on the procedure of the film-based analysis focused on the soundtrack. Our research problem is dedicated to questioning how the soundscape participates in the elaboration of a reflection in development, intended by the essay films. From such discussions about our film corpus, we consider that in the essay films there is a reflexive sound-landscape, which both supports and potentiates the voice-over in its role of concretizing the ongoing thought, as well as discarding it to create new and more complex layers of meaning.
