O mal em Kira - uma análise sob a ótica da necropolítica a partir da adaptação animada do mangá Death Note

Abstract

This work aims to analyze, from cinematographic, philosophical and sociological concepts, the necropolitics addressed in the anime Death Note, by director and writer Tsugumi Ohba, aiming to understand the following questions: how does death become a political tool for the control of the masses? And how the concept of justice, death policy and power is approached from the perspective of Kira in the adaptation of the animated series. Thus, to understand such questions, it is necessary to take the philosophical concepts addressed by Achille Mbembe (2018), Hannah Arendt (1979), Michel Foucault (1987), Matt Morris and Tom Morris (2009), in addition to Marcel Martin theories of cinema (2005), Edgar Morin (1970) and Jacques Aumont (2004), which bring us pertinent reflections so that we can understand the evil in the character Kira, from his extermination and sovereignty discourse.
