The Babadook by Jennifer Kent. Narrative analysis of a modern fantastic story.
Keywords:
The Babadook, Narrative analysis, Modern fantastic story, Perspective and narrative horizon, Cinema and narrative compositionAbstract
In this article I will analyse how the narrative composition of the modern fantastic story is built contrasting the perspectives provided by the protagonist and the spectator in the film The Babadook (2014) by Jenniffer Kent, in which it is represented through a complex narrative and symbolic warp a sick bond of mother-son abuse. For this, I will base this study in the model of narrative analysis of Luz Aurora Pimentel and I will resort to some considerations about the space by Gaston Bachelard. Consequently, I will identify the modes of articulation of the fantastic story system according to the theoretical-critical delimitations provided by Stephen King, Rosalba Campra, Omar Nieto and David Roas.
