Figurações do contemporâneo no filme Her (2013) de Spike Jonze: uma discussão sobre solidão, isolamento e tecnologia

Abstract

The proposal of this dissertation intends to analyze the contemporary configurations permeating discussions related to technology and referring to the contrapositions of the concepts of loneliness and isolation as discussed by the philosopher Hannah Arendt. Thus, it is ambitious to focus on the reflection on how human actions are given in an environment that is too technological. These themes are analyzed from Spike Jonze's film Her (2013) in which a newly divorced man falls in love with an operating system with artificial intelligence and initiates a complex relationship between organic body and digital body. In order to do this, it was necessary to consider how the passage from antiquity to modernity occurs by brushing the new configurations of policies, temporal and social, using the film analysis focused on the colors that make up the film in addition to understanding the productive process behind its composition. When reflecting on how we behave in an essentially technological space, the paper seeks to discuss themes related to product advertising, as well as a consumerist hedonism that greatly moved the rational construction of new technologies. From this discussion a way is opened to be able to think subjectivities conditioned to a growing individualization in search of certain comfort. The aim is to find new possibilities and horizons for human coexistence through technological changes
