Pot iz pogreznjenega kraja: emancipatorni potencial grozljivk : emancipatorni potencial grozljivk

Rumbak, Lana Maksima (author), Stanković, Peter (mentor)

Grozljivke so se tekom stoletja prelevile iz žanra za čudaške navdušence nad groznim v enega najbolj popularnih žanrov, ki je sposoben odražati realnost kot noben drug. Primer tega je filmografija Jordana Peelea, ki v Zbeži! (2017) in Mi (2019) naslavlja trenutno izredno pereče probleme, kot so rasizem, rasna diskriminacija in družbena neenakost, pri čemer daje v ospredje temnopolte igralce in posledično nove temnopolte vloge, posredno pa pomembno preizprašuje tudi ženske vloge v grozljivkah. V tem delu bo naš cilj osvetliti novi podžanr grozljivke, družbeno kritično grozljivko, ki vključuje nove reprezentacije temnopoltih in žensk, ki jih v zgodovini filma in grozljivk še nismo videli. V analizi reprezentacij bomo opisali tipografije reprezentacij temnopoltih in žensk, ter te iz obravnavanih primerov poskusili tja tudi umestiti. Prav tako bomo orisali in razčlenili sam žanr grozljivke in žanrske konvencije, ter pokazali, zakaj imenujemo grozljivki Jordana Peelea družbeno kritični in kako se ta podžanr grozljivke razlikuje od drugih.

Abstract

In the span of 100 years, horror films have transformed from a genre for odd horror aficionados to one of the most popular genres, one that is able to reflect our reality as no other. Jordan Peele’s filmography is one of these examples. His Get Out (2017) and Us (2019) address the topics such as racism, racial discrimination and social inequality, which are incredibly burning issues at the moment, and in these movies, black actors are brought to the forefront, which in turn offers new roles for black people; at the same time, Peele examines female roles in horror films. Our goal will be to highlight the new sub-genre of horror films, one that includes new representations of black people and particularly women that have never before been recognised. In the study of representation we will acknowledge types of representation of black people and women and try to apply those from our case studies. At the same time we will outline and dissect the horror genre and its conventions and show what makes Jordan Peele’s horror films socio-critical and how this horror sub-genre differs from others.
