Resumo: Published in 2014, Consumed is the first novel by Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg. Throughout his body of work, which includes movies such as The Fly, Videodrome, Crash, and eXistenZ, Cronenberg explores recurring themes such as deviant sexualities, body horror, and the relationship between the organic and the machinic. He also questions what is real and how the media relates to human beings, recasting McLuhan’s theory that media are extensions of humanity. In Consumed, Cronenberg continues to explore these themes through the story of a couple of photojournalists addicted to technology who investigate a crime involving a cannibal philosopher and a doctor who performs clandestine cosmetic procedures. The novel features gadgets, STDs, 3D replicas, apotemnophilia, consumerism, and cannibalism, set in a world dominated by technical images. This paper aims to analyze the novel Consumed from a Media Studies perspective, using theoretical contributions from Marshall McLuhan, Friedrich Kittler, Erick Felinto, and Donna Haraway.

Ao longo de sua obra, em filmes como The Fly, Videodrome, Crash e eXistenZ, são constantes as sexualidades desviantes, o body-horror, o questionamento sobre o que é o real e sobretudo a relação entre orgânico e maquínico, entre corpo e mídia, ou melhor, ele atualiza a teoria mcluhiana de que as mídias são extensões do homem. No romance, Cronenberg retoma esse repertório temático ao narrar a história de um casal de fotojornalistas viciado em tecnologia que investiga um crime envolvendo um filósofo canibal e um médico que realiza procedimentos estéticos clandestinos. Gadgets, DSTs, réplicas em 3D, apotemnofilia, consumismo e canibalismo são alguns dos ingredientes dessa história que se passa num mundo dominado pelas imagens técnicas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar Consumidos à luz dos Estudos da Mídia, tendo como aportes teóricos Marshall McLuhan, Friedrich Kittler, Erick Felinto e Donna Haraway.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2023-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/4651210.5433/1678-2054.2023vol43n1p10Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 No. 1 (2023): Literature and Technoculture; 10Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 Núm. 1 (2023): Literatura y Tecnocultura; 10Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 43 n. 1 (2023): Literatura e Tecnocultura; 101678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/46512/48944Copyright (c) 2023 Gustavo Ramos de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Gustavo Ramos de2023-06-08T20:03:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46512Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2023-06-08T20:03:09Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
