El cuerpo como morada del monstruo en el cine de terror contemporáneo

Abstract

The horror cinema created in the last forty years is one more piece of this complex and diffuse machinery that is the contemporary art, and more concretely the postmodern one. The special relevance that the body thing has acquired in this kind during the above mentioned period constitutes the principal point of connection between this one and its artistic context. To illustrate the previously mentioned link from a thematic and iconographic concrete phenomenon, that of the body understood as cockpit of the monster, it is the intention of this work.
