El cine de horror : construcciones subjetivas en torno a la angustia de castración.

Abstract

A theoretical journey was made, from a psychoanalytic reading, to understand how the subjective constitution occurs, and what is the impact or mnemic footprint left by the first traumatic scene: castration. takes a tour about the formation of fears, answering questions about whether fears are generational or not or if the terrifying scene really leaves a mark or works as a retroactive effect of trauma. Understand how horror movies and their various modalities of presentation would revive that distressing sensation that the subject, by neurotic structure, must go through. The relevance of this work is to identify what is the role of horror movies and what is attributed to this name. Conceptualize the era and the different faces of the monster, which is shown as the axis of the weft, will allow us to extract the essence of the cinema and its relationship with horror. The qualitative methodological approach allowed me to elaborate a generational analysis of several selected films, to observe that horror cinema serves as a social mirror and also to support the unbearable of the significant void.
