Terrores nocturnos: a noite e a estética noir em Edgar Allan Poe
Main Article Content
Resumo
Partindo de uma discussão acerca da modernidade escópica, o ensaio discute a pedagogia dos limites associada à noite na teoria cultural e filosófica e o modo como a penetração do espaço nocturno veio modificar a relação do sujeito com o mundo na era moderna, ancorando-se numa análise representativa de textos de Edgar Allan Poe. A tecnologia da luz articula-se com a tecnologia da visão num modelo de progresso eufórico contestado nos seus traços ambivalentes no espaço literário, ou mais tarde no cinema. Sem defender uma relação de causalidade, o artigo equaciona a relação entre o ambiente criado visualmente pela literatura de terror do século xix e a estética fílmica. A literatura de terror de Edgar Allan Poe apresenta-se como contra-discurso desta modernidade eufórica e anuncia uma estética visual obscura, que, no século xx, através de um processo de remediação (Grusin/Bolter), se vai configurar no discurso ominoso do film noir.
