THE ENIGMA OF KASPER HAUSER: REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL CONTROL
Keywords:
O Enigma de Kasper Hauser, sociedade, controle social.Abstract
The goal of this article is to put forward an initial analysis of some scenes of the Werner Herzog’s motion picture, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, whose original German title is Jederfürsich und Gottgegenalle, from 1974. The chosen images will be interpreted based on the interactionist perspective on language, which provides a perspective about the social influence on human behavior. To that end, the work will be based on the theoretical discussion of Bakhtin (1992) and Bronckart (1999). We contend that each element present in the sequence of scenes shows Kaspar, the main character of the plot, as an example of the fact that people are conditioned to an external social structure that frames their behavior and limit their attitudes, actions, and ways to tell what can be told and do what is expected to be done.Downloads
