Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the origins of the concept of mise-en-scène, its cinematic specific and the power relation that are established from it, while evoking the work of the Dardenne brothers as a strategy of relativization of the instances of power that the concept carries, anchoring the staging nowadays. In the first part of the article, we examine the theatrical and theoretical origins of mise-en-scène in order to trace a genealogy of the Dardennean staging, placing the problem on the limits of the concept of mise-en-scène discussing its ethical dimension and concluding with a debate about the concept in contemporaneity.

Keywords: Staging. Cinema. Dardenne.
