El miedo de Spinoza y el falso cine de terror. Una aproximación expositiva y balsámica a través de Eyes Wide Shut y Cabin in the Woods.
Abstract
Baruch Spinoza's thought has been the most fruitful of modernity in the analysis
of emotions and human passions. In all, fear is one of the key. From here, we
propose to remove the conditions of legitimacy to analyze two films which, by
their codes textual and narrative, with laxity could be included within the horror
genre or horror. With this, we hope to argue that the work of art in general and
cinema in particular can operate as a space for reflection according to Spinoza
commitment: the liberation of the individual through knowledge.
