AESTHETIC-NARRATIVE DISOBEDIENCE IN AUDIOVISUAL
OLD AGE AS A CASE STUDY FROM THE ROUND 6 SERIES
Abstract
The reflection starts from the imagery construction of the apparent vulnerability of the character Player 001 from the South Korean series Round 6 (Netflix, 2021), a characteristic that places him in an “invisible” stage and that culminates in a plot twist at the end of the series. series. The theoretical basis of the discussion is in the work A solidão dos moribundos: seguido de Envelhecer e Morrer, by Norbert Elias (2001), but a theoretical contribution is also used that helps to understand the socially constructed role for the elderly (BERGER, LUCKMANN, 2004), for not imagining the possibilities of social action of the aged individual nor his ability to see “crime as a beautiful art” (DE QUINCEY, 1985). When bringing up the theme of old age, modern social behaviors are discussed, highlighting the general difficulty with this age identification.
