gothique sudiste, guerres américaines culturelles, HBO, séries téléviséesRésumé
Le travail analyse la série Sharp Objects (2018) de HBO TV comme une représentation gothique particulière des guerres américaines culturelles à l’époque de l’administration Trump, lorsque la polarisation américaine entre les courants libéral/progressiste et conservateur /orthodoxe devient particulièrement prononcée. Le gothique américain en littérature est interprété le plus souvent comme un espace dans lequel des esprits historiques obscurs et régressistes de la nation troublent et ébranlent le récit officiel éclairé. En tant qu’une production originale de la chaîne HBO TV, connue pour son ethos progressiste libéral, et dont les productions utilisent souvent le style gothique et les tropes, la série Sharp Objects sera contextualisée dans le cadre des guerres culturelles américaines et analysée comme une histoire de gothique sudiste narrée d’un point de vue libéralo-progressiste. Le récit de la série sera interprété comme une route gothique vers le Sud profond qu’entreprend l’héroïne libérale hantée par ses esprits conservateurs dans la tentative de les affronter et de les chasser. Le travail s’interroge sur la thèse que le potentiel gothique perturbateur a un effet conditionnel et limité sur le récit libéral américain éclairé.
