From love to the sinister in Blade Runner 2049
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article addresses the sinister in Blade runner 2049, starting with the elements and themes that, according to Freud, were the carriers of the phenomenon. The objective is to check if the mere presence of these in the film is enough for the sinister to erupt. Another way of checking the sinister's presence is by looking at the filmic materiality tearing the codes of the hegemonic mode of representation. This way the phenomenon would reach all the radicality of its manifestation. In order to do this, we will base ourselves on various sequences that establish the relationship between Joi and `K´ and the one between Deckard and Rachel. It is in these relationships where the sinister takes shape from love and death in the figure of the woman who returns from death. We will also focus on the connection that is established between the sinister and the result of combining the resistance of the subject with the images of capitalist consumption.
