New flesh : a cosmovisão de horror de David Cronenberg

Lobo, Rafael Santos de Gusmão 25 May 2016 (has links)

Para tal fim, investigo o gênero de horror partindo do pensamento da corrente filosófica do realismo especulativo e, em particular, do autor Eugene Thacker, que reconhece no espectro da extinção humana que assombra gradativamente nossas vidas hoje – catástrofes ambientais, pandemias, guerras – a dificuldade em se pensar a existência de um mundo de onde fomos extintos. Tal pensamento traz um limite em si: a imagem de um mundo impensável que se situa nas fronteiras da dicotomia ciência e magia. A necessidade política de se pensar a coexistência entre o mundo não humano dos processos naturais e o mundo humano objetificado aponta para a importância do horror como um campo epistemológico privilegiado de investigação que, há tempos, tem no conhecimento dessa coexistência seu foco de interesse. Nesse contexto, opto por seguir minha investigação por meio do exame do pensamento do cineasta David Cronenberg, considerado um autor fundamental do horror. Juntamente com a perspectiva de Thacker sobre o mundo, investigo a hipótese de que a obra do diretor canadense perfaz uma visão autoral que pode ser compreendida como um dispositivo de uma cosmovisão de horror. A partir de uma particular dicotomia de seu cinema, que se apresenta cindido entre uma estética ora fantasiosa, ora mais realista, minha proposta segue a intuição de que há, na tensão dessa contradição, uma afinidade eletiva entre a dicotomia realidade e fantasia que associa sua obra ao horror. A motivação dessa hipótese está na premissa de que o cinema de Cronenberg encontra sua unidade como um pensamento sobre o corpo humano. Por meio do reconhecimento desta afinidade, os corpos dos personagens dos filmes revelam-se como significantes da monstruosidade, tal como pensada por Georges Canguilhem. Revelada a monstruosidade do corpo, a visão estética autoral do diretor pode ser entendida como a expressão de uma fantasiosa visão de lugar nenhum, cuja perspectiva de estranhamento radical se revela como fonte de uma experiência de horror fundamental. ‘New Flesh’, expressão cunhada pelo diretor em um de seus filmes para nomear a monstruosidade do corpo de seu personagem, é utilizada nesta pesquisa como conceito estético que operacionaliza essa afinidade entre realidade e fantasia no cinema de Cronenberg. Ao fim da dissertação, aprofundando a relação inerente da New Flesh com a noção de construção de realidade, experimento ludicamente este conceito como o dispositivo mediador de uma cosmovisão de horror. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This work aims to investigate the development of the importance of horror genre in understanding the tragic human condition today. To this end, I investigate the horror genre following the philosophical thought of speculative realism, and particularly the author Eugene Thacker, who recognizes in the spectrum of human extinction that gradually haunts our lives today – environmental disasters, pandemics, wars – the difficulty in thinking of a world where we went extinct. This thought brings a limit within: the image of an unthinkable world that lies on the borders of the dichotomy science and magic. The political need to think about the coexistence between the nonhuman world of natural processes and the objectified human world point to the importance of horror as a privileged epistemological field of research, that has been having, in the knowledge of that coexistence, for a long time, its focus of interest. In that context, I choose to follow my research by examining the thought of the cinema director David Cronenberg, considered a key author of horror. Together with Thacker’s perspective, I investigate the hypotheses that the work of the Canadian director compiles an authorial vision that can be comprehended as an apparatus of a horror worldview. From a singular dichotomy of his work, divided between films with fanciful aesthetics and others with a realistic aesthetics, my proposal follows the intuition that there is on the stress of that contradiction, an elective affinity between the dichotomy reality and fantasy, which link his work to horror. The motivation of this hypothesis is grounded in the assumption that Cronenberg’s films finds their unity as a thought of the human body. By means of the recognition of this affinity, the bodies of his film's characters are revealed as signifiers of monstrosity as thought by Georges Canguilhem. Revealed the monstrosity of the body, the director's authorial vision can be understood as the expression of a fantasy view from nowhere, whose perspective of radical strangeness is revealed as a source of a fundamental horror experience. ‘New Flesh’, an expression coined by the director in one of his films, is used in this research to name the aesthetics concept that will operationalize this affinity between reality and fantasy in Cronenberg's work. By the end of the dissertation, deepening the relation of the New Flesh with the notion of construction of reality, I experiment playfully with this concept as an apparatus of mediation of a horror worldview.

Another goal is to verify the applicability of the concepts of polyphony and counterpoint to the sound construction of the film. / A obra do sound designer Alan Splet (1939-1994) e a importância da edição de efeitos sonoros estudadas através da análise do filme Veludo azul (Blue velvet, EUA, 1986), dirigido por David Lynch. O intuito do projeto é pesquisar o que caracterizava o trabalho com efeitos sonoros de Splet, se ele representou inovação em termos de linguagem cinematográfica e, em caso afirmativo, como isso se deu em comparação a obras anteriores que também tenham apresentado sobreposição de efeitos sonoros. Outro objetivo é verificar ainda a aplicabilidade dos conceitos de polifonia e contraponto em relação às construções sonoras do filme.

These criticisms are aimed to point out the weaknesses of that argument, as the foundation of the theory that advocates the creation of the world from God. We also aim to clarify the dialectical and argumentative Humean way, which, from an empiricist perspective, proposes that all knowledge can, only, comes from a sensitive experience. Hume is unable or refute and destroy this argument, if propose an alternative to replace, is what we examine in the present. The book is composed by four chapters, and we begin by presenting the 'Argument from Design', in the form that became known. Then, we will effectively contact the book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, going through approach the construction of the criticisms developed by Hume (Philo) to finally demonstrate that, despite appearing to have Philo, has failed in dialogue - a feat that only confirms the mastery of language Hume - ratified under a veil of discretion, the position taken throughout the dialogue. / Neste estudo nos propusemos a uma investigação das críticas de David Hume ao ‘Argumento do Desígnio’, existente em seu livro Diálogos sobre a Religião Natural. Críticas essas que têm por finalidade apontar as fragilidades do referido argumento, como fundamento da teoria que defende a criação do mundo a partir de Deus. Objetivamos também, explicitar o caminho dialético e argumentativo humeano, que a partir de uma perspectiva empirista, propõe que todo o conhecimento pode, somente, provir da experiência sensível. Se Hume consegue ou não refutar e destruir esse argumento e, se propõe ou não alguma alternativa para substituição, é o que examinaremos no presente. De um total de quatro capítulos, começaremos por apresentar o ‘Argumento do Desígnio’, na forma em que ficou conhecido. A seguir entraremos, efetivamente em contato com o livro Diálogos sobre a Religião Natural, passando então à abordagem da construção das críticas elaboradas por Hume (Filo) para, finalmente demonstrarmos que, apesar de parecer ter Filo, sido vencido no diálogo - num feito que só corrobora a maestria linguística humeana - ratifica, sob um véu de discrição, a posição assumida durante todo o diálogo.

Nature et fondements de la doctrine de la nécessité dans la pensée philosophique de Joseph Priestley (1733-1804)

Côté, Benoît January 2017 (has links)
Au sein de ce mémoire, nous analysons la contribution du théologien, scientifique et philosophe Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) aux débats des Lumières anglaises portant sur la question de la liberté humaine et sur le déterminisme. Nous procédons à l’exposition de l’ensemble des textes dans lesquels Priestley développe son nécessitarisme, notamment «The Doctrine of Philosophical Necessity Illustrated» (1777), et de ceux dans lesquels il répond aux critiques formulées par ses contemporains à l’égard de sa doctrine. Nous présentons et analysons les principaux arguments employés par Priestley pour inférer la vérité du nécessitarisme (et, du même coup, la fausseté de la doctrine du libre arbitre). Les arguments que nous identifions sont formulés à partir (1) de la considération des relations causales, (2) de la compréhension priestleyenne du fonctionnement de la volonté, (3) du matérialisme et (4) de la doctrine de la prescience divine. Nous expliquons qu’une compréhension adéquate du discours nécessitariste de Priestley requiert une compréhension de son effort d’importer, en philosophie morale, la méthodologie employée dans ses travaux de philosophie naturelle, et qui est fortement inspirée par les «regulae philosophandi» de Newton, dont il admire la fécondité. L’importance du rôle joué par l’associationnisme de David Hartley et par la théorie de la matière-force de Roger Boscovich dans l’élaboration du nécessitarisme priestleyen est aussi soulignée. Tout au long de notre étude, les particularités de la pensée de Priestley sont mises en évidence à l’aide de comparaisons faites principalement avec les écrits de David Hume, David Hartley, Richard Price et Thomas Reid.

Counterfactuals Without Causation, Probabilistic Counterfactuals and the Counterfactual Analysis of Causation

Loewenstein, Yael Rebecca, Loewenstein, Yael Rebecca January 2017 (has links)
It is near-consensus among those currently working on the semantics of counterfactuals that the correct treatment of counterfactuals (whatever it is) must invoke causal independence in order to rule a particular set of seemingly true counterfactuals – including a famous one called Morgenbesser's Coin (MC) – true. But if we must analyze counterfactuals in terms of causation, this rules out giving a reductive account of causation in terms of counterfactuals, and is, as such, a serious blow to the Humean hope of reducing causation to counterfactual dependence. This dissertation is composed of three self-standing articles. In the first article I argue that counterfactuals like MC are false contrary to appearances; as is the thesis that the correct semantics of counterfactuals must appeal to causal independence. In the second article I argue that there are important, widely-held assumptions about difference-making and its relationship to causation which are false, and which may underlie some of the remaining, most threatening objections to the counterfactual analysis of causation. In the final article I discuss the puzzle of reverse Sobel sequences – an alleged problem for the classic Lewis-Stalnaker semantics for counterfactuals. I argue that none of the extant approaches to the problem are right, and defend a novel solution to the puzzle. If I am correct, reverse Sobel sequences do not threaten the classic analysis. They do, however, give additional evidence for the thesis, forcefully defended by Alan Hájek, that most non-probabilistic 'would'-counterfactuals are false. This motivates placing a stronger emphasis on trying to understand probabilistic counterfactuals first and foremost.

Bertrand Russell et la métaphysique analytique / Bertrand Russell and the Analytical Metaphysics

Richard, Christine 21 May 2010 (has links)
Nous étudions la récurrence et la postérité dans la métaphysique analytique contemporaine d’un certain nombre d’arguments élaborés par Bertrand Russell afin de répondre à une question d’ontologie fondamentale : comment les éléments de l’être sont-ils reliés ? Comment peut-on répondre à cette question sans tomber sous le coup d’une régression bradleyenne ? Interroger le statut des régressions bradleyennes (régressions vicieuses ou régressions inoffensives ?), déterminer la nature des relations (particuliers ou universels ? ; relations internes ou relations externes ?), ou bien encore adopter une perspective plus épistémologique, celle des vérifacteurs, sont ici les voies explorées. Nous étudions plus particulièrement le réalisme immanent de D. Armstrong, la théorie des tropes de K. Campbell, le nominalisme de la ressemblance de G. Rodriguez-Pereyra et le réalisme modéré de D. W. Mertz. / The broad objective of this study is to examine the recurrence and the posterity of some arguments drawn up by Bertrand Russell to answer one of the main ontological question: How the elements of the being are related ? How can we answer this question without raising a bradleyan endless regress? Several strategies are assessed here: answering these questions by questioning the status of the bradleyan regresses (vicious or harmless regresses?), defining the nature of the relations (particulars or universals?, internal or external relations?) or using the epistemological perspective of the truthmakers. This study is focused on D. Armstrong’s Immanent Realism, K. Campbell’s Theory of Tropes, G. Rodriguez-Pereyra’s Resemblance Nominalism, and D. W. Mertz’s Moderate Realism.

William S. Burroughs et le cinéma : expérimentations, présences, contaminations / William Burroughs and cinema : experimentations, presences, contamination

Clerc, Adrien 12 November 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse est une étude approfondie du rapport de William S. Burroughs au cinéma. William S. Burroughs, en collaboration avec Antony Balch, a produit entre 1961 et 1972 des courts-métrages expérimentaux aux formes de montage et de figuration radicales. Ces films, largement ignorés, constituent un pan essentiel du cinéma expérimental. Leur étude met en lumière l'évolution d'une pensée politico-esthétique de l'image chez Burroughs, une pensée voisine de celle de Guy Debord et qui influencera celle de Gilles Deleuze .Burroughs a également travaillé en tant qu'acteur : l'analyse de ses apparitions est ici pensée en fonction de leur rapport à l’œuvre écrite de Burroughs et à son versant biographique, l'écrivain déconstruisant les personnages qu'il joue de la même manière qu'il déconstruisait le cinéma. Un ensemble de films, répondant plus ou moins fidèlement à l’appellation d'adaptations, constituent un aspect important de notre corpus. Ces œuvres, qu'elles travaillent les écrits dans un rapport fondé sur la reproduction, le décalage, ou l'éclatement, produisent des formes inédites. Cette étude est complétée par un retour sur l'influence de Burroughs sur trois auteurs majeurs du cinéma nord-américain contemporain, Cronenberg, Van Sant et Lynch. Tous trois réinvestissent l’œuvre et la pensée de Burroughs dans le cadre de leur propre production, que ce retour se concentre sur l'apparition de la voix, le lien entre signature visuelle et présence ou la fragmentation de la narration classique. En mettant en relation expérimentations, présences et contaminations de l'écrivain au cinéma, ce travail vise la réhabilitation de ce versant de l’œuvre de William S. Burroughs. / This work is an exhaustive study of William S. Burroughs' interest in cinema. Burroughs, in collaboration with Antony Balch, produced between 1961 and 1972 a series of experimental short films with radical editing and visual styles. These widely ignored films are an essential part of experimental cinema. Their study highlights the evolution of the author's political and aesthetic vision, close to those of Guy Debord or Gilles Deleuze. Burroughs also worked as an actor. The analysis of his cinematographic apparitions is linked to their relation to Burroughs' written work and its biographical aspects: the writer deconstructs the characters he plays in the same way as he deconstructs the mise-en-scène.A set of films, which can loosely be said to be adaptations, are another important part of the corpus of this study. These works, in a relation to the written word based on reproduction, shift or blow-out, produce original cinematographic images.This study is completed with a flash-forward to Burroughs' influence on three important north-american filmmakers: David Cronenberg, Gus Van Sant and David Lynch. These three authors reinvest Burroughs' work within the framework of their own production, focusing on the apparition of the voice, the link between visual signature and the notion of presence or the shattering of a conventional narrative.Linking experimentations, presences and contaminations of the writer in the cinematographic art, this thesis aims to rehabilitate this part of Burroughs' work.
