Rashomon effect, Discursive semiotics, Audiovisual enunciationAbstract
The Rashomon effect is characterized as a narrative that presents several contradictory points of view on the same subject, converging to an inconclusive ending. This concept emerged based on the film Rashomon (1950), by Akira Kurosawa, the object of study in this paper. The film is analyzed through concepts of discursive semiotics. The notions of credulity and credibility and the elements of discursive syntax, as well as the variations in the points of view and perspectives throughout the film narrative, corroborate for the construction of a sense of objectivity and subjectivity, which, in turn, configures the enunciative contracts.
