  • Cine E Ideología: La Representación Del Mal En Las Películas De James Bond (1962-2015)
    Trabajo Fin de Grado Cine e ideología: la representación del mal en las películas de James Bond (1962-2015) Film and ideology: the representation of evil in James Bond movies (1962-2015) Autora Berta Comas Casas Directora Mª Isabel Ubieto Artur FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS 2016 Resumen El trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que las películas de acción y entretenimiento de las grandes industrias audiovisuales se basan en la actualidad e identifican a los personajes villanos con la idea de la maldad inherente a ese momento histórico preciso según el imaginario colectivo. Para ello se lleva a cabo una aproximación a la representación fílmica del mal y sus características, y en concreto las de los villanos de la saga del espía James Bond, cuyas 24 entregas han sido analizadas desde el punto de vista documental. Entre las conclusiones se describirán los elementos que caracterizan el mal en esta saga, que se identifica con la visión histórica del momento, lo que permite confirmar que el cine reproduce la ideología de la maldad y esta saga es un ejemplo de ello. Palabras clave Cine e ideología, James Bond, Agente 007, Villanos Absctract The project starts from the hypothesis that action films and audiovisual entertainment major industries rely on today and identify the villains characters with the idea of inherent evil in this historical moment according to the social imaginary. That is the reason why it is carried out an approach to the filmic representation of evil and its characteristics, in particular those of the villains of the saga of James Bond spy, whose 24 films have been analyzed from documentary point of view.
