Gotiken hos David Cronenberg : En studie av fyra filmer

Cederlöf, Henriette January 2006 (has links)
<p>Syftet med min uppsats är att undersöka förhållandet mellan fyra av den kanadensiske regissören David Cronenbergs filmer och den gotiska traditionen. De filmer jag valt att behandla är Shivers (1974), Rabid (1976), The Brood (1979) och Dead Ringers (1988). Den gotiska traditionen utmärks bland annat av en fokusering på kroppsligt baserad skräck. Skräck med utgångspunkt i kroppen återfinns även i Cronenbergs filmer. Vid en närmare studie av dessa filmer har jag dock funnit att de även innehåller element av det som feministiskt inriktade forskare kallat familjegotik – gotiska representationer av familjen.</p>

EL PERSONAJE INFECTADO: SU RELACIÓN CON LA MULTITUD Y LA METÁFORA EN LAS PELÍCULAS DE DAVID CRONENBERG

Molina Pardo, Vicente 06 November 2017 (has links)
Aquesta tesi estudia les representacions que Cronenberg fa dels individus, dels grups d'infectats i de la seua forma d'exhibir-los. Les subjectivitats aplicades a les multituds mitjançant l'ús de metàfores i constructes varis, són eines que des de fa molt de temps són descrites, aplicades i estudiades en els mitjans argumentatius que coneixem (continguts informatius, documentals, socio-lògics, discursos filosòfics, etc.). L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi serà esbrinar si les problemàtiques que estudiem en aquests mitjans argumentatius, en relació a la psico-logia de les masses i les metàfores d'infectats, són aplicables també a les pel·lícules de David Cronenberg. David Cronenberg va rodar algunes de les seues pel·lícules quan en televisió es construïen els primers públics i es planificaven els primers directes, així els seus personatges infectats es combinen sovint amb aparicions de masses o multituds. La reflexió entorn als imaginaris construïts per David Cronenberg al voltant d'aquests discursos és un altre dels principals objectius d'aquesta tesi. Hem emprat una metodologia qualitativa i hermenèutica amb la finalitat de combinar aquests tres elements funcionant conjuntament: infectats, multitud i metàfora. Si totes les regles del món argumentatiu sobre la problemàtica de la representació de masses i la seua metàfora no són suficients per a comprendre millor la ficció de David Cronenberg cal imaginar una evolució lògica del mercat dels infectats en el marc del gènere de terror. El terrorífic ha d'evolucionar a pitjor. L'elecció d'un determinat tipus de massa i la relació social d'infectats seria una eina més per a millorar el mètode de la ponderació de mals, s'usarien indiscriminadament les novetats o les metàfores tecno-lògiques associades als coneixements del moment per a construir el pitjor de mals imaginables. A més, totes les narracions d'infectats i multituds arrosseguen metàfores per inèrcia, la cobertura que el director fa de nocions tan qualitatives i subjectives com a massa, poble, públic, multitud o munió, són combinades amb el concepte d'infecció sempre. Bàsicament, David Croneberg crea obstacles que trunquen les carreres de moltes d'aqueixes metàfores que arribaven immaculades fins als nostres dies. A més a més, David Cronenberg no pren partit, no intenta argumentar ni molt menys convén-cer, això no obstant, els recursos dels mitjans argumentatius estan ací. David Cronen-berg mostra sistemàticament invertits tots els constructes multitud-metàfora-infectats als quals estem acostumats en la narrativa tradicional, queden al descobert les possi-bles intencions ocultes de l'ús de la metàfora perdent així tota superioritat qualitativa possible. / Esta tesis estudia las representaciones que David Cronenberg hace de los individuos o grupos de infectados, así como su forma de exhibirlos. Las subjetividades aplicadas a las multitudes mediante el uso de metáforas y construc-tos varios son herramientas que desde hace mucho tiempo vienen siendo descritas, aplicadas y estudiadas en los medios argumentativos que conocemos (contenidos informativos, documental, sociología, discurso filosófico o antropológico). La refle-xión relativa a los imaginarios sociales creados por la narrativa es un campo de pen-samiento fecundo y esperamos tenga un prometedor futuro. El objetivo principal de esta tesis será averiguar si las problemáticas que estudiamos en estos medios argumentativos, relativa a la psicología de las masas y las metáforas de infectados, son aplicables también a las películas de David Cronenberg, este direc-tor canadiense rodó algunas de sus películas cuando en televisión se construían los primeros públicos y se planificaban los primeros directos, sus personajes infectados se combinan a menudo con apariciones de masas o multitudes. La reflexión en torno a imaginarios construidos por David Cronenberg en torno a estos discursos es otro de los principales objetivos de esta tesis. Hemos empleado una metodología cualitativa y hermenéutica con el fin de combinar estos tres elementos funcionando conjuntamente: infectados, multitud y metáfora. Si todas las reglas del mundo argumentativo sobre la problemática de la representa-ción de masas y su metáfora no son suficientes para comprender mejor la ficción de David Cronenberg, cabe imaginar una evolución lógica del mercado de los infectados en el marco del género de terror. Lo terrorífico debe evolucionar a peor. La elección de un determinado tipo de masa y relación social de infectados sería una herramienta más para mejorar el método de la ponderación de males, se usarían indiscriminadamente las novedades o metáforas tecnológicas asociadas a los conocimientos del momento para construir el peor de males imaginables. Además, todas las narraciones de infectados y multitudes arrastran metáforas por inercia, la cobertura que el director hace de nociones tan cualitativas y subjetivas como masa, pueblo, público, multitud o muchedumbre, son combinadas con el concepto de infección siempre. Básicamente, David Croneberg crea obstáculos que truncan las carreras de muchas de esas metáforas que llegaban inmaculadas hasta nuestros días. Además, David Cronenberg no toma partido, no intenta argumentar ni mucho menos convencer, sin embargo, los recursos de los medios argumentativos están ahí. David Cronenberg muestra sistemáticamente invertidos todos los constructos relacionados con multitud- metáfora- infectados a los que estamos acostumbrados en la narrativa tradicional, quedan al descubierto las posibles intenciones ocultas del uso de la metáfora perdiendo así toda superioridad cualitativa posible. / This thesis studies the representations that David Cronenberg makes of the infected individuals or groups, as well as their way of exhibiting them. The subjectivities applied to the multitudes through the use of metaphors and several constructs are tools that have long been described, applied and studied in the argumentative media we know (information content, documentary, sociology, philosophical discourse, anthropological, etc.) . The reflection on the social image created by the narrative is a productive field of thought and hopefully have a promising future. The main objective of this thesis will be to find out if the problems that we study in these argumentative meanings, the one related to the psychology of the masses and the metaphors of infected, also apply to the films of David Cronenberg, this Canadian director filmed some of his movies when on television the first public viewings were built and the first direct ones were planned, their infected characters are often combined with the appearance of masses or multitudes. The reflection around images built by David Cronenberg around these speeches is another of the main objectives of this thesis. We have used a qualitative and hermeneutical methodology in order to combi-ne these three elements working together: infected, multitude and metaphor. If all the rules of the argumentative world on the problem of mass representation and its metaphor are not enough to better understand the fiction of David Cronenberg it can imagine a logical evolution of the market of the infected in the framework of the horror genre. The terrifying must evolve to worse. The choice of a certain type of mass and social relation of infected would be one more tool to improve the method of weighing evils, would be used indiscriminately the news or technological metaphors associated with the knowledge of the moment to construct the worst imaginable evils. In addition, all narratives of infected and multitudes drag metaphors by inertia, the coverage that the director makes of such qualitative and subjective notions as a mass, people, public, crowd or mobs, are always combined with the concept of infection. Basically, David Croneberg creates obstacles that cut across the careers of many of those metaphors that came immaculate to the present day. In addition, David Cronen-berg does not take sides, does not try to argue much less convince, however, the re-sources of the argumentative media are there. David Cronenberg systematically reveals all the multi-metaphor-infected constructs to which we are accustomed in the traditional narrative, are exposed the possible hidden intentions of the use of the me-taphor thus losing any qualitative superiority possible. / Molina Pardo, V.

La transgression dans l'œuvre de David Cronenberg / The transgression in David Cronenberg's work

Demangeot, Fabien 24 May 2018 (has links)
Totalement érigée autour de la question de la transgression, l'œuvre cronenbergienne, en exposant des comportements considérés comme déviants ainsi que des modes de sexualités allant à l'encontre des modèles normatifs propres à la culture mainstream, semble difficilement catégorisable. À la fois à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du système hollywoodien, le réalisateur de La Mouche joue avec les codes génériques les plus éculés pour en proposer une véritable alternative. De ses débuts dans le cinéma underground, avec des œuvres telles que Stereo et Crimes of the future, à ses films les plus ''grand public'', comme A History of Violence et Les Promesses de l'ombre, le cinéaste a toujours mis à mal les horizons d'attentes de ses spectateurs. La transgression, chez Cronenberg, ne se résume cependant pas à la seule représentation de la violence et de la sexualité. Elle est un élément structurel majeur qui lui permet de garder une certaine singularité tout en évitant la redite. Comme nous le verrons, tout au long de cette étude, David Cronenberg, bien qu'il se soit progressivement détaché du genre du ''body horror'', s'est toujours intéressé aux mêmes thématiques que celles-ci touchent le corps, l'esprit, la famille ou encore la science. En allant jusqu'à adapter des œuvres littéraires jugées inadaptables (Le Festin Nu, Crash et Cosmopolis), le cinéaste a également exposé son désir d'abolir les frontières entre les arts. Mêlant ses obsessions personnelles à celles d'autres artistes, Cronenberg confère à son œuvre un caractère hybride que viennent métaphoriser les innombrables corps mutants qui peuplent ses films. Cette étude sera structurée autour des quatre grandes formes de transgression constitutives de son œuvre : la morale, le corps, le réel et le cinéma. Il s'agira de montrer que la transgression, loin d'être un simple artifice, est la composante essentielle d'une œuvre qui n'a jamais cessé de se déconstruire pour mieux se réinventer. / Entirely built around the issue of transgression, Cronenberg's work, by exposing behaviors considered as deviant, as well as modes of sexuality going against normative models proper to mainstream culture, seems difficult to categorize. Both inside and outside the Hollywood system, the director of The Fly plays with the most hackneyed generic codes to offer a real alternative. From his beginnings in underground cinema, with works such as Stereo and Crimes of the Future, to his most 'mainstream' films, such as Eastern Promises, the filmmaker has always diverted the expectations of its spectators. However, Cronenberg's transgression is not just about portraying violence and sexuality, it is also a major structural element that allows it to keep a certain singularity while avoiding repetition. Although, David Cronenberg gradually detached himself from the genre of "body horror", as we will see throughout this study, he has always been interested in the same themes that affect the body, mind, family or even science. By going so far as to adapt literary works deemed unadaptable (Naked Lunch, Crash and Cosmopolis), the filmmaker also exposed his desire to abolish the boundaries between the arts. Cronenberg gives his work a hybrid character that metaphorize the innumerable mutant bodies that populate his films by mixing his personal obsessions with those of other artists. This study will be structured around the four major forms of transgression that constitute his work: morality, body, reality and cinema. It will be necessary to show that the transgression, far from being a mere artifice, is the essential component of a work that has never ceased to be deconstructed to better reinvent itself.

Ficção científica , cibercultura e pós-modernidade: velocidade e religião no discurso cinematográfico de David Cronenberg videodrome e eXistenZ

Góes, Maria das Graças Teixeira de Araújo 19 November 2007 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria das Gracas Teixeira de Araujo Goes.pdf: 604490 bytes, checksum: 94da5ee9691f0f368280cd9c144819d7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-11-19 / The research is devoted to the study of David Cronenberg s films Videodrome and eXistenZ. Both movies belong to the science fiction genre, which, in our times, has gained specific features, representing the present with futuristic connotations, due to the fact of technical innovations being inserted in every sector of society. By portraying the cultural context of their times by means of metaphorical narratives and bizarre and surreal images, the films lead us to an analysis of post-modernism, cyberculture and velocity as a sociohistorical process that is realized without a legitimating discourse. For the same reason, we are also led to reflect on the imaginary context that permeates the technological society, taking as its parameter the myth of the cyborg, arising from the coupling of man and machine, and also the mythical-religious discourse present in the movies s narratives, resulting from the socio-technological process that is always contaminated by the link between religion and science. David Cronenberg s two films reproduce a social configuration in which the transmission of images is processed by means of technologies of the sensory (in the case of Videodrome) and of intelligence (eXistenZ). It therefore became necessary to delve into the media culture, so as to identify the influences exerted by technological communication devices (live or online). In view of the various themes comprised in the study, it was necessary to undertake an extensive bibliographical study, as well as research on the Internet. Baudrillard, Kellner and McLuhan, among others, are authors who have produced important analyses of this culture. Lévy, Johnson and Lemos are some of the researchers who have written about cyberculture, a subject that finds in Rüdger and Trivinho its most organized and consummate critical vision. We have studied post-modernism based on the ideas of Harvey, Jameson and Kumar, among others. Regarding the research on dromocracy, two authors have merited our attention: Virilio, who launched the subject s theoretical basis, and Trivinho, who has built a critical reflexion on the neuralgic and specific points of the logic of velocity in cyberculture. Erick Felinto provided us with subsidies for an analysis of religion in the technological society. Aumont, Brissac, Deluzer, Gomes, Machado, Sodré and Todorov have been of great assistance in our reflection on cinema and science fiction; Haraway led us to a greater understanding of the man/machine coupling, and, finally, Peirce and Santaella were the theoretical foundation for our semiotic analysis / A pesquisa foi consagrada ao estudo às produções cinematográficas Videodrome e eXistenZ de David Cronenberg. Essas películas estão inseridas no gênero ficção científica, que, na contemporaneidade, adquiriu características peculiares ao representar o presente com conotações futurísticos, como conseqüência de a técnica estar inserida em todos os setores societários. Ao retratar o contexto cultural de época, através de narrativas metafóricas e de imagens bizarras e surreais, os filmes demandam uma análise do pósmodernismo, da cibercultura e da velocidade como processo social-histórico, concretizado sem discurso legitimatório. Não por outro motivo, refletimos, também, sobre o imaginário que permeia a sociedade tecnológica, tomando como parâmetro o mito do ciborgue, decorrente do acoplamento homem/máquina, e o discurso mítico-religioso presente nas narrativas dos filmes, resultante do processo sociotecnológico sempre contaminado pela conexão entre religião e ciência. As duas películas de David Cronenberg reproduzem uma configuração social em que a transmissão de mensagens se processa através das tecnologias do sensório (Videodrome) e da inteligência (eXistenZ). Assim, foi imprescindível um aprofundamento sobre a cultura dos media, a fim de se detectar as influências exercidas pelos aparelhos tecnológicos de comunicação (live ou online). Devido aos vários temas abarcados pelo estudo, foi necessária extensa pesquisa bibliográfica e buscas na internet. Baidrillard, Kellner e McLuhan são autores, entre outros, que trazem análises importantes sobre essa cultura. Lévy, Johnson e Lemos são alguns dos pequisadores que tratam da cibercultura, tema que encontra em Rüdger e Trivinho a sua visão crítica mais organizada e acabada. Estudamos o pós-modernismo com base nos postulados de Harvey, Jameson e Kumar, entre outros. Quanto à pesquisa sobre a dromocracia, dois autores merecem a nossa atenção. Virilio, que lançou as respectivas bases teóricas e Trivinho, que constrói uma reflexão crítica sobre os pontos nevrálgicos e específicos da lógica da velocidade na cibercultura. Erick Felinto nos deu subsídios para uma análise sobre a religião na sociedade tecnológica. Aumont, Brissac, Deluzer, Gomes, Machado, Sodré e Todorov auxiliaram, sobremaneira, a reflexão sobre o cinema e a ficção científica; Haraway nos levou a uma compressão maior sobre o acoplamento homem/máquina e, finalmente, Peirce e Santaella foram as bases teóricas para a nossa análise semiótica

New flesh : a cosmovisão de horror de David Cronenberg

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.
