UM INVENTÁRIO DE MÍDIAS MORTAS: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A OBSOLESCÊNCIA TECNOLÓGICA NA FRANQUIA V/H/S

Resumo (EN)

The V/H/S series emerged in 2012 in the United States, spearheaded by producer Brad Miska, and has become a notable phenomenon in contemporary audiovisual horror fiction. Comprising seven anthology feature films, two spin-offs, and a miniseries, it has evolved over the years into an investigation of the modes of production, consumption, and storage of audiovisual media. The series reveals disturbing aspects of audiovisual culture through horror narratives built from the intradiegetic machinic gaze (known as found footage). This article offers brief analyses of the first two films in the series — V/H/S (2012) and V/H/S/2(2013) — aiming to understand the role played by the collapse of image and sound recording devices in the horrific experience.Keywords: Audiovisual culture.
