Abstract

This paper exposes the matter of eternalism in the song of 2112 by Reality Club. By accentuating the theory of eternalism by J. M. E. McTaggart, eternalism is underlined in how all existence in time is equally real. In analysis, the song of 2112 depicts a love story that goes on since the couples were teenagers. Things are getting more complicated since they could not be together but they still have feelings of comfort and togetherness as if they live in eternal times. The memories keep going on though the time moves forward. It proves that the block universe of past, present and future events are all on an equal footing. In conclusion, the song reflects the matter of eternalism in the points of memories, not as past understandings, but as an open future towards any determinism in showing that any event is always interpreted through any matter of time.

Abstract

This research analyzes the exposition of trauma in Gabriel Osorio's 2016 short film Bear Story. The film reflects his historical experience under Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile and tells the story of an old Bear who creates a mechanical diorama depicting the loss of his family due to the dictatorship's oppression. This research uses a narrative and symbol analysis approach to investigate how collective and individual trauma is manifested through visual, narrative and symbolic elements in the film. Trauma is implied in the protagonist's emotional journey as he faces bitter memories of exile, torture and separation. Cinematic techniques such as the use of a soft color palette, melancholic music, and diorama mechanics as a metaphor for the process of memory and healing emphasize the psychological impact of trauma. The results of this study show that Bear stories are not just a form of artistic expression, but also serve as a medium of healing and historical memory for the victims and the wider community. In conclusion, Bear Story emphasizes film as a communicative tool to think trauma, memory, and resistance to oppression in related sociopolitical contexts.
