El filósofo Ian Hacking ha afirmado, siguiendo a Sartre: “Posibilidad, proyecto y prisión son una misma cosa”. En ese trabajo, nos interesa seguir esta pista utilizando como desencadenante del análisis el film César debe morir (Paolo y Vittorio Taviani, 2012), un docuficción que relata la experiencia de un grupo de prisioneros que ensayan y ponen en escena la obra Julio César de Shakespeare, entrelazando ese hilo con la vida cotidiana de los reclusos y con la trama de la obra misma. Mediante el film, sus recursos, y lo que muestra de la experiencia teatral, reflexionaremos sobre los vínculos entre posibilidad, proyecto y prisión – literal, y metafórica. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la relación entre la construcción de identidades estigmatizantes y las posibilidades de desplazamiento en términos de agencia y empoderamiento. Consideraremos, además, los modos en que el teatro y el cine pueden resultar medios privilegiados para llevar adelante la reconfiguración performativa de aquellas descripciones. Para ello, tomaremos como clave de lectura una serie de nociones provenientes de la filosofía contemporánea, principalmente aquella de “clases interactivas”, aportada por el mismo Hacking, la de “performatividad”, siguiendo el análisis de Judith Butler, y la de “matriz”, que es utilizada por ambos autores.Abstract:
Philosopher Ian Hacking has asserted, following Sartre: “Possibility, project and prison are one of a piece”. In this work, we are interested in following that cue through an analysis of the film Caesar must die (Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, 2012), a docufiction portraying the experience of a group of prisoners who rehearse and stage William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The film blends this with the prisoners' everyday life and with the plot of the classical play. Through the film, its resources, and what it shows about the theatrical experience, we will address the relationship between possibility, project, and prison – literal, and metaphoric. Our aim is to analyze the relationship between the construction of stigmatized identities and the possibilities of displacement in terms of agency and empowerment. We will also consider the ways in which theatre and cinema could be particularly useful means to carry out this performative reconfiguration of those descriptions. In order to achieve this, we will adopt as a key a number of notions from contemporary philosophy, notably “interactive kind”, brought by Hacking himself, “performativity”, following Judith Butler's analysis, and the idea of “matrix”, adopted by both authors.
