I10-R324-article-419702023-07-26T22:11:35Z The Cinematographic Origin of Colonialism in Haiti: Zombie Target El origen cinematográfico del colonialismo en Haití: White of Zombie Brito Alvarado, Xavier Rodríguez Caguana, Adriana Jadán, Diego Cinema Zombie Colonialism Mysticism Cine Zombie Colonialismo Misticismo They are reflecting on zombie, movies classified as B, is complex, not because of the need for a bibliography or methodological issues. Their academic validity has often been overshadowed by considering them as productions without political or scientific discourse. However, in recent years this view has been displaced, and today, these productions have occupied a place to explain the multiple anxieties and social uncertainties in which we live. The premise of this work includes the film White Zombie (1932) and The Legion of Soulless Men; the first film on this theme, in which fantastic narratives are mixed with the politics of the time; and with it, discuss colonialism as a historical discourse that is still valid in societies. In this way, the essay begins with a bibliographic review of the zombie and its cinematographic representations, a second moment deals with the historical and political location of the zombie in Haiti, and, finally, the analysis of the film "White Zombie" which unravel the complex relationships between whites and blacks within a Haitian colonial context. Reflexionar sobre el cine zombi, encasillado como B, es complejo, no por la falta de bibliografía o cuestiones metodológicas, sino porque su validez académica, muchas veces, ha sido opacada por considerarlas como producciones sin discurso político o científico. No obstante, en los últimos años esta mirada ha sido desplazada, y hoy, estas producciones, ocupan un lugar para explicar las múltiples ansiedades e incertidumbres sociales en que vivimos. La premisa de este trabajo recoge la película White Zombie (1932), La legión de los hombres sin alma; la primera película de esta temática, en la que se mezcla las narraciones fantásticas con las políticas de la época; y con ello debatir sobre el colonialismo como discurso histórico que sigue vigente en las sociedades. De esta forma, el ensayo comienza con un recorrido bibliográfico de lo zombi y sus representaciones cinematográficas, un segundo momento versa sobre la ubicación histórica y política del zombi en Haití, y, por último, el análisis de la película “White Zombie”, que desentraña las complejas relaciones entre blancos y negros dentro de un contexto colonial haitiano.
