The Imaginary Stream of Memory: Animation as Past Construction/Projection Art

Abstract

The Animation Art displays, as the basis of the constitution, the radical styling of the universe that serves as a reference. This stylization, however, does not occur disconnected from material reference of reality, the referential, as in cartoons, is still present and its deformation denounces an ideologically formative process. Modern animation, globalized and democratized in the stream of technological progress, is not free of these ideological aspects. Thus modern animation produced in Israel, crowned by the various international awards granted to the animated film "Waltz with Bashir" (Vals im Bashir, 2008) directed by Ari Folman, play the crucial problem of styling in representation of the historic catastrophe compounded by guilt complex; its generates a need for ideological realism complaint that ultimately cancel the symbolic value of animation as aesthetic art, converted to a partial chronicle about a much more complex reality.
