O fantasma no limiar do espaço e do tempo em para o outro lado, de Kiyoshi Kurosawa

Abstract

The ghosts of the Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa not only cross through, but remain and invade. They are corporeal ghosts, living in a "between-places": on the thresholds between past and present, visible and invisible, life and death. This article aims to approach the ghosts of Kurosawa in the movie “Journey to the Shore” (2015) dialoguing with the concepts of Thresholds, Ma and Phantasmagoria in authors such as Erick Felinto, Walter Benjamin and Michiko Okano. As a methodology for the analysis of the films, we adopt the conception of Jacques Rancière that establishes the scenes as a singularity in which the notions are in place, embodied by conceptual characters. This work is part of an ongoing research by the Postgraduate Program in Communication at the Federal University of Ceará (PPGCOM-UFC) on the presence of ghosts in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movies.
