DYSTOPIA AND FEMINISM IN “BLACK MUSEUM”, DIR. COLM MCCARTHY, AND IN “MIMIMI”, BY ADELAIDE IVÁNOVA

Abstract

This essay analisyses gender issues “Mimimi” poem by Adelaide Ivánova presented in the series “Fruto Estranho”, from FLIP 2017, and in the episode “Black Museum”, from the TV show Black Mirror. The choice was due to the interest in thinking about current issues involving feminism in recent productions, through the dystopia, as a set of striking aspects, which incite reflections on current problems. Therefore, we use as critical theoretical framework authors such as Judith Butler (2019), regarding the issues of abject bodies, Teresa de Lauretis (1993), in relation to the representations of women in cinema. In general, we analyzed how the interrelationship of the arts, such as Literature and the audiovisual, build meanings and symbologies which reflect on the emerging political context, especially concerning to gender, racial, ethnic and sexual inequalities and violence.
