Resumo: This article seeks to analyze com- mercial horror movies, specifically those themed on zombies and the undead, proposing approximations between the images produced by filmmakers and art- ists and the consumer culture produced under capitalism. If the filmmaker, as proposed by Jameson (1995), is not iso- lated from its social and political con- text, could these films be understood as possible images of what Lukács (1920) understands as the bankruptcy of cap- italist social organization? In a culture where death, exhaustion of resources, chaos and decay of organizations are recurring situations, how could these commonplace themed films be reinter- preted as image of capitalism itself?

Se o cineasta, conforme propõe Jameson (1995) não é isolado de seu contexto político/social, poderiam estes filmes ser entendidos como possíveis imagens do que Lukács (1920) entende como a bancarrota da organização social capitalista? Em uma cultura aonde a morte e o esgotamento dos recursos, o caos e o lapso de sistemas são situações recorrentes, insistentemente "empurradas para debaixo dos panos" como poderiam estes filmes de temática tão banal serem reinterpretados como a própria imagem do capitalismo?Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2015-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/684810.5965/2175234607142015064Palíndromo; Vol. 7 No. 14 (2015): Palíndromo; 064-080Palíndromo; v. 7 n. 14 (2015): Palíndromo; 064-0802175-23461984-9532reponame:Palíndromo (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/6848/4873Copyright (c) 2015 Rodrigo Montandon Bornhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBorn, Rodrigo Montandon2023-03-24T14:37:40Zoai:ojs.revistas.udesc.br:article/6848Revistahttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromoPUBhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/oaipalindromorevista@gmail.com || revistapalindromo@udesc.br2175-23461984-9532opendoar:2023-03-24T14:37:40Palíndromo (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
