A Hauntologia como dimensão política da melancolia : uma análise estética-fantasmagórica do trauma palestino no cinema de Larissa Sansour e Søren Lind

Abstract

The disjointed time signature of Hamlet inspires Derrida to explore the ontology of the spectral, or Hauntology, a concept coined by the philosopher and later developed by Fisher in the study of an aesthetic-melancholic territory that analyzes specters, between presence and absence and the eternal return of ghosts. This work proposes to analyze Palestinian trauma from the perspective of Hauntology as a framework for an aesthetic approach to the film In the Future, They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2015), by Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind. Analyzing the Palestinian catastrophe from an aesthetic matrix is a critical exercise in relation to what is proposed by dominant International Relations Theories. Hauntology, in addition to bringing International Relations closer to Philosophy and Aesthetics, allows for a sensitive understanding of tragedy. To this end, we consider a qualitative approach as our methodology, based on the procedures of a bibliographic review of primary and secondary sources, as well as content analysis of the proposed cinematographic work. Research based on figures such as Sansour and Lind, leading figures in contemporary Palestinian filmmaking, is essential to understanding a perspective close to the Nakba and the continuity of trauma, made possible by the innovation of Sci-Fi cinema in constructing a possible territory and time.
