Abstract

ABSTRACT Recognizing the importance of the zombie in the interpretative forms of contemporaneity, this paper aims to actualize the current focus of the phenomenon in order to understand it within a strictly material framework. Its aim therewith is to take the perception of the zombie, not as a symptom or metaphor as commonly done, but as a floating signifier in order to analyze the material conditions that allow it to be understood as a symptom or metaphor. To this end, an observation from the perspective of Gothic Materialism is stated, attending to the implications of the idea of “nonorganic life” in the reshaping of human reality and posing both focuses of the approach, the post-structuralist and the materialist, on the basis of their Deleuzian inspiration. The final purpose is to provide an epistemological ground for the comprehension of this cultural motif of the ominous in biopolitical and aesthetic terms, by means of a comparative analysis of videoludic cases with others in film media.
活死人的批判:算法美学和僵尸的生命政治
认识到僵尸在当代性解释形式中的重要性,本文旨在实现这一现象的当前焦点,以便在严格的物质框架内理解它。它的目的是将对僵尸的感知,不像通常所做的那样,作为一种症状或隐喻,而是作为一种浮动的能指,以便分析允许它被理解为一种症状或隐喻的物质条件。为此,本文从哥特唯物主义的角度进行了观察,关注“非有机生命”观念在重塑人类现实中的含义,并在德勒兹启发的基础上提出了后结构主义和唯物主义这两种方法的焦点。最后的目的是通过对电影媒体中的视频案例与其他案例的比较分析,为从生命政治和美学的角度理解这种不祥的文化母旨提供一个认识论基础。
