Abstract(s)
O presente ensaio aborda a liberdade, analisando a evolução da sociedade
portuguesa entre as décadas de 60 e 80 até os dias atuais, com destaque para um ritual
tradicional de casamentos portugueses dos anos 80: o ato de beijar, sinal de afeto e união.
O projeto explora a tradição oral conhecida como “Beija, Beija.” dentro de casamentos
tradicionais, investigando esta prática no casamento de Madalena Matos Fernandes e
Luís Cruz, um exemplo representativo de rituais semelhantes realizados em Portugal. O
estudo inicia-se com imagens de arquivo que mostram diversas pessoas beijando-se. O
objetivo é investigar as razões desse ritual tão presente e expansivo àquela época,
destacando o seu lado cómico, por vezes estranho e até libertador. Essas imagens são um
ponto de partida para uma reflexão sobre a persistência do ritual e sua relevância atual,
40 anos depois. O documentário busca respostas para a vivacidade desse ritual de
liberdade nos casamentos, observados publicamente. Além de fornecer respostas, o
filme questiona a forma de vida e pensamento da população portuguesa educada entre
1960 e 1980, avaliando se e como essa perspetiva mudou ao longo do tempo. Por fim, o
ensaio intitulado “O Simbolismo do Beijo nas Mudanças Sociais” será elaborado,
explorando como o gesto do beijo refletiu as transformações sociais e a busca pela
liberdade em Portugal.
The present essay deals with freedom, analyzing the evolution of Portuguese society between the 1960s and 1980s up to the present day, highlighting a traditional ritual of Portuguese weddings in the 1980s: the act of kissing, a sign of affection and union. The project explores the oral tradition known as "Kiss, Kiss." within traditional weddings, investigating this practice at the wedding of Madalena Matos Fernandes and Luís Cruz, a representative example of similar rituals carried out in Portugal. The study begins with archive images showing several people kissing. The aim is to investigate the reasons for this ritual being so present and widespread at the time, emphasizing its comic, sometimes strange and even liberating side. These images are a starting point for a reflection on the persistence of the ritual and its relevance today, 40 years later. The documentary seeks answers as to why this ritual of freedom in marriages, which is publicly observed, is still alive. As well as providing answers, the film questions the way of life and thinking of the Portuguese population educated between 1960 and 1980, assessing whether and how this perspective has changed over time. Finally, the essay entitled "The Symbolism of Kissing in Social Change" will be prepared, exploring how the gesture of kissing reflected social transformations and the search for freedom in Portugal.
