LONELINESS, I DON'T BELIEVE: IDENTITY AND LITERARY FLOATS BETWEEN MISTER LONELY AND CONFESSIONS OF A MASK
Script; Mister Lonely; Confessions of a Mask; Harmony Corine; Mishima.
This research intends to provoke discussions about the cinematographic script as a possible genre within the field of Literature, considering its multiple faces of writing and imagery conception that confront traditional paradigms around its own written nature. We will verify, in the course, elements of structure and content that allow the argumentative sharpening for a determined study, raising interpretive possibilities about the fluidity of the genre usually considered technical and, therefore, non-literary, to the detriment of flirtations with the essentially poetic language and form. We also intend to present an analytical reading of the work Mister Lonely (2007), by the filmmaker Harmony Korine, in its two versions: the script and the film, in order to provide appreciations that focus on both configurations, in an attempt to enhance both the piece filmic as well as writing. For comparison purposes on issues concerning the theme, in this case, loneliness and identity issues, we will put Yukio Mishima's novel Confessions of a mask in parallel, to investigate possible approximations. As a support, we will have as a theoretical itinerary authors who deal with subjects concerning the cinematographic script, such as Syd Field (2001), Jean Claude-Carrière and Pascal Bonitzer (1996); authors who walk through the contents of the language of cinema, such as Henri Mitterand (2014), Ingmar Bergman (1960) and Jennifer Van Sijll (2017); scholars of the contemporary social subject, such as Zygmunt Bauman (1998-2004) and Stuart Hall (1992); and, also, authors who talk about literary neighbors, such as Roland Barthes (2004-2005) and Tzvetan Todorov (2017), among others.
