O artista como ser trágico: manifestações do trágico nietzschiano na obra de Andrei Tarkovski

Abstract

This work intends to approach Andrei Tarkovsky's work in the light of Friedrich Nietzsche's conception of the tragedy. Considering the tragedy as philosophical element, isolated from the poetological studies carried out by German intellectuals prior to Nietzsche, the philosopher finds a prolific critical source of modernity and the course of the Western philosophical tradition, finding parity with Andrei Tarkovsky's postures, both in his films and in his writings. The perceptions of the tragedy in Tarkovsky's work will be evidenced by film analysis going briefly through the author's fictional feature films to Stalker's (1979) most detached analysis.
