Juventude LGBTQIAPN+ e suas sexualidades nas produções audiovisuais do gênero de horror : uma análise sobre os filmes A Hora do Pesadelo 02, Mate-me Por Favor, Rua do Medo e a série Boca a Boca

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of audiovisual works in the horror genre, with a narrative focus on young LGBTQIAPN+ characters. The investigation examines how the stories of these characters intertwine with the plots of these cinematic productions and how their bodies are represented within the context of horror cinema. The central question guiding the study is: how are these bodies portrayed in these productions? This inquiry served as the initial motivation for the research. For the analysis, the following films were selected: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 (Jack Sholder, 1985), Kill Me Please (Anita Rocha da Silveira, 2015), the Fear Street trilogy (Leigh Janiak, 2021), and the series Kissing Game (Esmir Filho and Juliana Rojas, 2020). The methodology is based on Mariana Souto’s study on film constellations. In this way, it was possible to identify the specific nuances that each work presents, going beyond fear and horror, making the viewing experience something sensory and participatory.
