Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Starting from a post-modern approach, this monograph will study 6
films produced, during different moments, in the United States that have as
theme the Second World War or the Cold War with the intention of
revealing, through the deconstruction method, the truth assumptions in the
discourse regarding the Other, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, found
in these cinematographic productions, questioning the basis over witch they
are settled. The cinema, as a mass means of communication of strong
influence, is used as a way of (re)production of the logocentric discourse
over the construction of the American identity over collective experiences,
in this case, the view of the german and soviet societies as threats that
needed to be eliminated. This happens due to the fact that the sovereign
State, that provides identity through the sense of belonging, doesn t
posses basis for it s existence, since it was constructed to answer a
historically specific need, and requires to be reaffirmed through the
definition of who belongs inside and who belongs outside it s frontiers.
The conclusion drawn is that because this discourse is understood as
unquestionable ands totalizing truth, the US reach their goal of
marginalizing those called Others. Those enemies, defined as Others,
as history proves, vary and are judged according to the north American
foreign policy interests in a entirely arbitrary way.
