Abstract

Abject, body horror, close-up, wound, gore, horror, necropolitics, terrir and zombie are the entries in this critical glossary imagined from the figure of the undead. Present in popular and media culture, this ambiguous character enable us to relate horror, visual arts and cinema, seen against the sociopolitical background of what the Mexican philosopher Sayak Valencia calls “gore capitalism”. We seek to inquire the relationship between the virtuality of the image - in the neoliberal present, characterized by smooth and luminous surfaces typical of an obscene regime of total circulation and visibility - and the irreducible physicality of the body - translated, in the horror genre and in the zombie trope, as eschatological representations of rotting flesh, violence and death, symptoms synthesized, in part, by the notion of necropolitics. The text has a fragmentary form and sometimes disparate associations in order to incorporate the logic of the analyzed objects.
