| description | Gus Van Sant’s cinema is full of characters who have been confronted with a traumatic event. It is difficult to ignore the recurrence of trauma in the filmmaker’s work, from the very first films to the last. In this work, we examine some modalities of narrative treatment through the exemplary case of Paranoid park to highlight the fact that Gus van Sant is less interested, from the point of view of the character, the trauma itself or his painful consequences, only to a possible overtaking of the event through its elaboration. This will bring out what this motif reveals about the filmmaker’s work, his approach to the image and the power it exerts on the viewer, and thus its very conception of the function of cinema. |

El cine de Gus Van Sant rebosa de personajes que se han enfrentado a un evento traumático. Es difícil ignorar la recurrencia del trauma en la obra del cineasta, desde las primeras películas hasta las últimas. En este trabajo examinaremos algunas modalidades del tratamiento narrativo de este tópico a través del caso ejemplar de Paranoid Park, con el objetivo de evidenciar el hecho de que Gus Van Sant no se interesa tanto, desde el punto de vista del personaje, en el trauma en sí o en sus consecuencias dolorosas, sino más bien en una posible superación del acontecimiento por medio de su elaboración. Esto permitirá extraer lo que este tópico revela del trabajo del cineasta, de su enfoque de la imagen y del poder que esta ejerce sobre el espectador, es decir, de su concepción misma de la función del cine Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2018-07-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/22758 10.31056/2250.5415.v8.n2.22758 Ética y Cine Journal; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2018): Cine y Psicoanálisis: Memorias y luchas; 43-51 2250-5415 2250-5660 10.31056/2250.5415.v8.n2 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/22758/23050 Derechos de autor 2018 Ética&Cine Journal |
