Video of our intervention in the 12th appointment of โL'Orizzonte degli Eventiโ, on Border Nights. First presentation of Carcosa unveiled. Notes for an esoteric reading of True Detective [Mimesis Editions, 2021].
ABSTRACT CONFERENCE
Pulling the strings of the discourse from the analysis of the esoteric elements of the first season of T (2014), in this episode of "L'Orizzonte degli Eventi" we will deal with the centrality of the 'conspiratorial' and 'occult' perspective in television series, including historical ones, such as Twin Peaks, X-Files and our own Voices of the night.
ABSTRACT CARCOSA UNVEILED
What sets it apart T from a very large part of the television series it can be identified in its characteristic of being based more on the unspoken than on the said, of exploiting more the created atmospheres and wisely veiled symbolisms than what actually happens, at the level of action, in narrative situations. If on the one hand this peculiarity is commendable, precisely because of its ability to immerse the viewer in an almost timeless dimension, characterized by the most bizarre oneirism and permeated by the action of the inescapable forces of destiny, on the other it makes it very complicated decipher its innermost meanings, which we here intend to do. Nonetheless, if dissecting the series as a whole may seem an almost impossible operation, precisely because of its characteristic of not saying, no one forbids trying to shed light on some key elements of the story, which can be analyzed for example with the tools of anthropology of the sacred and the history of religions.
