파놉티콘 감시와 정치적 주체되기의 영화적 재현

Abstract

This paper examines Pinter’s cinematic techniques in his modifications of Kafka’s original novel for the purpose of cinematic transliterations of the elements in his comedies of menace and political plays by analyzing his screenplay, The Trial. Pinter modifies and intensifies Kafka’s political elements by integrating his theatrical politics into cinematic politics. Pinter finds out the common concerns and themes in Kafka’s novel and modifies and reterritorializes the irrationality of law system, pervasiveness of authority, and panoptical surveillance into film media. Pinter presents the lines of flight for becoming a political subject inducing audiences to face up to the menacing reality and real panoptical surveillance.
