Representações da religiosidade afro-americana no gênero horror (séc. XX): por uma nova história do medo no ocidente. 2016. 30f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Especialização em História e Cultura Africana e Afro-Brasileira) - Departamento de História, Centro de Ensino Superior do Seridó, Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Caicó, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/44301Analyzes collective representations of Afro-American religiosity in the narrative of the “horror” genre, taking as time frame the productions of the mid-twentieth century. Aims to question the filmic narratives that depict the so-called “voodoo mythology”, assuming the horror films as modern myths who date back to the Afro-American religiosity, having the main representative in the Haitian Voodoo. Specifically, discusses the relations established in the contact between the American culture and the local culture of Haiti, after the Revolution of Saint-Domingue (1791-1804) that would culminate in the images presented in the horror film narratives. Methodologically, the research adopted Marc Ferro's view of the filmic narrative, seeing the film as an “image-object”. It is established as a premise the idea that this mythical representation of afro-Haitian religion is presented through a remembrance of the particularities of the Haitian formation process as an independent geopolitical space, namely: a) the brutal enslavement process of bodies and souls of the African population and the Afro-American population; b) the resistance of black people; c) religion and Afro-descent experience; d) work and culture; e) the relationship between man and environment; f) the inversion of slavery from the traditional voodoo myth of the “zombie” and its subsequent film developments.openAccessAn error occurred getting the license - uri.Vodu HaitianoZumbiCinemaRepresentaçãopostGraduateThesisHistória
