Do olho cortado ao olho embalado: o olhar no filme Um Cão Andaluz à luz da semiótica aplicada de extração psicanalítica

Abstract

Contemporaneity is full of symbolic and imaginary products that can be called "surreal". In fact throughout the twentieth century surrealism extrapolated the sphere of the arts and left marks in many spheres of social behavior. This study aims to examine the gaze inaugurated by the film Un Chien Andalou, and investigate the relationship of certain cultural products with the unconscious. The approach is based on the surrealist movement, its meaning production techniques, its context and its historical vicissitudes, to understand in which way, and especially by means of which strategies, the "surreal" manifests itself in our everyday life. Based on the ideas of Giulio Carlo Argan and Elisabeth Roudinesco among others, this study investigates the context that gave rise to the movement. The theoretical work of André Breton and the psychoanalytic concepts of Jacques Lacan, a contemporary of Breton s, will contribute to a better understanding of the movement. An articulation is then made with Peirce´s semiotics to analyze surrealism, understood as a noun or as an adjective, specifically in the field of images. As regards the methodology used, a bibliographic review was carried out, followed by exercises in digital video after analyzing the decoupage of the sliced eye scene in the film Un Chien Andalou (1929), by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel, which is considered a paradigm. The study also sought to link the sliced eye with the packed eye, the zombie eye, an eye-shaped candy found in shops in Brazilian large cities, which is a perfect example of the surrealist aesthetic assimilated to daily life
