Temos, com efeito, que o sentimento de horror é concretizado graças a uma série de estratégias. O gênero horror é entendido através da Teoria do Horror de Nöel Carroll enquanto que a estética grotesca parte principalmente das considerações de Wolfgang Kayser. Configura-se, pois, como uma investigação qualitativa da recepção baseada na aplicação de pesquisa bibliográfica. A análise segue a abordagem fenomenológica da Teoria do Efeito Estético de Wolfgang Iser e conta com as contribuições do Sistema dos Quadrinhos de Thierry Groensteen e da Psicologia da Percepção de Rudolf Arnheim. Para isto, tem como objeto de estudo o ato da leitura do mangá – história em quadrinhos japonesa – Uzumaki: A Espiral do Horror. Keywords: Junji Ito, Uzumaki, horror, fear, contagion.Įsta dissertação busca compreender como a estética grotesca colabora para a concretização do efeito de horror na recepção das histórias em quadrinhos. Also, it will discuss what possibilities and meanings left behind the recurring and contagious horror Ito presented, including the psychoanalysis, medical science, social and cultural values, and demonic possession. Thus, this paper aims to discuss how the author illustrates the postmodern horror/gothic to present the contagious horror and fear through the spirals. Since Ito’s universe often provides no reasonable explanations, reasons, or endings, fear and horror are always presented through contagion-like, unusual and mysterious incidents. It manifests itself in small ways with objects to people’s bodies and minds, such as seashells, hair, the spiral marks on people’s bodies, and the insane obsessions of spirals. Appearing like a form/concept of contagion, the bizarre spiral occurrences spread to infect the inhabitants and their bodies, which turns everyone and their everyday events into chaos, horror, and madness. The next morning, Kirie’s younger brother, Mitsuo, begins turning into a snail.Created by the popular and brilliant manga artist Junji Ito, who is known as the godfather of the horror manga genre today, Uzumaki has combined the most terrifying, grotesque, and insanely sensational features and elements of horror with “spirals.” It tells the story of Kurozuchou, a fictional town which is plagued and haunted by a supernatural “curse” involving a pattern-uzumaki, the spiral. Unable to find food, Kirie and the others are forced to eat the meat of snail people. Kirie, Shuichi, and Maruyama team up with another group of survivors to try and find Mr. Goshima is swept away by a storm concocted by the gang members.
After arguing with a gang over their cannibalism, Mr. They discover that the roving gangs are hunting down and eating those who have turned into snails. As the Goshimas, Shuichi, and Maruyama strategize, they struggle to find food. The Goshimas (Kirie’s family) and Shuichi elect to help Maruyama escape, though others consider it impossible. Kurouzu-cho’s residents now live in fear, cowered in the row houses to protect themselves from roving gangs who stir up storms with their bare hands and terrorize for fun. As Maruyama wanders into town, she discovers that she cannot leave. Her team’s car is swept off the road, and Maruyama is the only one to survive.

Maruyama travels to Kurouzu-cho to report on the series of storms and the state of the town.
Their bond only grows stronger over the course of Uzumaki.Ī television journalist named Ms. Each time Kirie has a near-death experience, Shuichi saves her. Kirie’s hair grows rapidly and curls into spirals, taking on a mind of its own and towing Kirie around to feed off of the attention of others. Her father becomes obsessed with making ceramics out of Dragonfly Pond clay, which contains the souls of the recently dead and bakes into spiral shapes.
As more residents become consumed by the spiral, the curse soon hits Kirie and her family. Shuichi then loses his mother, who develops a phobia of spirals and destroys her body in a frantic attempt to rid herself of them. Shuichi’s father is the first victim of the curse, becoming so consumed with the spiral that he kills himself by forcing his body to twist into a large tub. The curse affects the bodies, minds, and souls of Kurouzu-cho’s residents, causing mass obsession over spirals.
