Resumo
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e refletir sobre as representatividades de gênero, raça e sexualidade, presentes no enredo, da trilogia slasher Rua do Medo (2021). Dirigida e co-roteirzada por Leigh Janiak, a trilogia é uma adaptação dos livros de terror juvenil de R. L. Stine, que foi lançada semanalmente em julho de 2021 pela plataforma de streaming Netflix. São três filmes com três temporalidades diferentes, sendo eles: Rua do Medo: 1994, onde se passam os acontecimentos presentes da trilogia; Rua do Medo: 1978 é um flashback ao massacre no acampamento Nightwing; e Rua do Medo: 1666, que é dividido em duas partes, no século XVII acompanhamos a história da “bruxa” Sarah Fier e o desfecho da trilogia em 1994. Este trabalho tem como problema de pesquisa pensar a origem do subgênero slasher, como o subgênero e a trilogia em questão dialogam com a história dos Estados Unidos, e se a trilogia é capaz, e até que ponto, de subverter e reescrever a representatividade feminina, racial e queer no slasher. Rua do Medo (2021) é um objeto de pesquisa relevante no que se refere às questões de gênero, raça e sexualidade a partir do momento que se dispõe a discutir e questionar as narrativas de filmes slasher. A metodologia apoia-se na análise fílmica e na leitura de textos contemporâneos de autoras que estudam questões femininas, de raça e sexualidade no cinema de horror, de modo a relacionar a trilogia com a história dos Estados Unidos e a encontrar elementos que diferenciem o objeto de pesquisa em questão de outros filmes slasher. O objetivo é analisar e compreender até que ponto essas questões podem ser utilizadas para se ressignificar, subverter e reescrever o subgênero slasher.
This paper aims to analyze and reflect on the representations of gender, race, and sexuality in the plot of the slasher trilogy Fear Street (2021). Directed and co-written by Leigh Janiak, the trilogy is an adaptation of R. L. Stine's young adult horror books, released weekly in July 2021 by the streaming platform Netflix. There are three films with three different temporalities, namely: Fear Street: 1994, where the present events of the trilogy take place; Fear Street: 1978 is a flashback to the massacre at Camp Nightwing; and Fear Street: 1666, which is divided into two parts, in the 17th century we follow the story of the “witch” Sarah Fier and the outcome of the trilogy in 1994. This work has as its research problem to think about the origin of the slasher subgenre, how the subgenre and the trilogy in question dialogue with the history of the United States, and whether the trilogy is capable. To what extent, of subverting and rewriting female, racial, and queer representation in the slasher. Fear Street (2021) is a relevant research object regarding issues of gender, race, and sexuality from the moment it is willing to discuss and question the narratives of slasher films. The methodology is based on film analysis and the reading of contemporary texts by authors who study issues of women, race, and sexuality in horror cinema, to relate the trilogy to the history of the United States and to find elements that differentiate the object of research in question from other slasher films. The objective is to analyze and understand to what extent these issues can be used to resignify, subvert, and rewrite the slasher subgenre.
