| Sumario: | This article discusses how the movie Get Out!, directed by Jordan Peele, introduces sensitive experiences about horror and racism in contemporary societies. The concept of horror its understood through Eugene Thacker, for whom the genre fruition occurs by the thinking in an unthinkable world, non-human and unknown. Considered as the other in the Western society, the condition of being black, category created during the slavery and colonization process for the dehumanization of Africans (GILROY, 2007), answers this genre definition. The act of being black provokes horror in whom ignores the human condition, at the same time its affected in their humanity by the racism. This essay promotes the encounter between two researches that investigates the characteristics of aesthetics experiences of horror in the contemporaneity: thinking the phenomenon beyond fear (ACKER, 2018) with that one proposes a criticism to structural racism in the media (CAMPOS, 2018). |
