Abstract(s)
A dor interna das mulheres é representada frequente e (algo que) diversamente no cinema de
terror. Esta dissertação propôs-se a explorar a aparente tendência do género, assim como do
cinema em geral, de fazer acompanhar esta dor feminina (particularmente a solidão) de
elementos espirituais e sobrenaturais. Observou-se uma possível tendência entre histórias
sobre o sofrimento feminino, em que este é apresentado como algo tão complexo e
inconcebível que, por vezes, se torna necessário recorrer a elementos místicos para
adequadamente representar a sua dimensão. Consequentemente, contos de dor feminina
acabam por se alinhar frequentemente com alguns dos traços característicos do terror,
fazendo-o um género adequado para falar sobre tumulto interno feminino.
ABSTRACT - Women’s internal pain is oft and (somewhat) diversely portrayed in horror cinema. This dissertation sought to explore an apparent trend within the genre, as well as cinema at large, to make women’s pain (particularly loneliness) be accompanied by spiritual and supernatural elements. A potential storytelling tendency was noted, where women’s suffering is portrayed as something so complex and inconceivable, that it sometimes becomes necessary to refer to mystical elements to adequately portray its scope. As a result, tales of feminine suffering often end up aligning themselves with some of horror’s characteristic features, making it a fitting genre to talk about women’s internal turmoil.
