Lietuviški vaidybiniai filmai valdžios diskursų kaitoje ; Lithuanian feature films of government discourse changes: analysis in visual anthropology
The present day understanding would state that in a context of studies of anthropological, visual studies any view is an equivalent expression of cultural discourse that is why approaching to culture through analysis of a film also may be successfully applied in knowing different cultural models around or even in our own societies. The first theoretical part is dedicated to review a conception of sexuality in a context of western culture: essencelisation vs constructionalism. The second part is dedicated to analysis sexuality as social construction in the discourse of power. M. Foucault is being introduced who underlines sexuality as a social construct in a discourse of power, processes of suppression of sexuality are being analysed as well as outcomes of the process. In a changing society, understanding of the world, new comprehensions concerning traditional conceptions of sexual roles, manifestations and transformation of sexuality as a social construct are being formed. After reviewing Lithuanian cinematography, we notice the changing expression of sexual images, roles, intercommunication. Forms of sexuality which were replaced out of public discourse, normative definitions of proper behaviour earlier, in a present period are simply being reproduced, revitalised – thus constructing a vision of transformation.
