Resumo: |
This research addresses the discourses about female madness in American Horror movies in the decades of 1960 and 1970. We borrowed foucaultian categories of dispositive, announcements and discursive practices aiming mostly to watch, identify and analyze the ways in which differentannouncements around gender and madness can be perceived in characters and discourses of the movies What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), based on Henry Farrel book and directed by Robert Aldrich; Rosemary’s Baby (1968), adapted from Ira Levin book anddirected by Roman Polanski; and The Exorcist (1973), inspired by Willian Peter Blatty book and directed by William Friedkin. These movies are treated as important historical documents, researched through the analysis of gender technology, a concept adapted by Teresa de Lauretis (1987) from er conceptions around Michel Foucault’s sexual technologies (1988). The purpose was to verify if Horror Movie followed the ancient tradition to connect women to evil and abnormality, in discourse and images, analyzing also in which ways the fear could be instrumented from female madness stereotypes created by physician and psychiatric discourses in the 19thcentury. As we focus on American movies from the 1960s and 1970s, we also try to point out that some of the most classical movies of this gender were developed in a context of intense social struggles for rights. We also investigated how different fields as religious and medical were mobilized in these movies, trying to reinforce gender hierarchies, using cinematographic field as an ally. Themes associated with the feminine, such as maternity, sexuality, behavior and appearance were analyzed through the Gender and Sexuality Studies, Cultural History, Women and Madness History |
