Retratos: uma experimentação audiovisual sobre famílias compostas por filhos adotivos

Abstract

The present work is part of an experimental project that seeks to present a portrait of Brazilian families made up of foster children, and to elaborate an experimental audiovisual about Brazilian families composed of adopted children. To elaborate the theoretical framework, a research about the concepts of family and changes in the adoption process, citing authors such as: Landini (2004) and Fonseca (2006), who understand the cultural modes of the family and their changes over time, as well as a history of adoption in Brazil is traced. The purpose of this work is to expose, through the reports of families with foster children, their experiences and perceptions about the way society faces the plurality of family structures and how digital media facilitates and gives visibility to the theme. The choice to carry out an audiovisual project through a documentary language is not only because of the author's personal interest, but also because this language brings society closer to the real experiences of families.
