Arte da sedução em tempos hipermodernos na literatura, de João Gilberto Noll, e no filme Demolição, de Jean-Marc Vallée

Abstract

This dissertation studies the notes that identify the characteristics that compose the hypermodern identity in the work of João Gilberto Noll: The Machine of being, being chosen the tales “In the back of the hours”, “Conviviality” and “The machine of being”, and in Demolition, by Jean-Marc Vallée. The images of the corpus, with their speeches, guide the analysis on the following themes: hypermodernity, emptiness, power, liquidity, consumption, extreme individualism and seduction. They are intertwined themes, although they have different aesthetics, but also approximate. The phase of modernity flows into hypermodernity in which studies move from concepts from the 1970s to postmodernity. The overall goal is to identify the aesthetic elements that make up hypermodern identity in Noll's short stories and in the movie Demolition. The questions raised about the aesthetic elements in the short stories and the film under analysis and about the relations that the works have with the concepts of seduction in the hypermodern phase portray the hypotheses. There is a personalization of emptiness in which the lipovetekyan hypermodern theory supports the way of existing in the world of contemporary man. The results show the comparative arts in hypermodernity that trigger the aesthetic notions of thematic characterizations, in which the artistic object goes through the transesthetic in space and time, with personalities that identify with the hypermodern man, socially hedonistic and extreme narcissism.
