Antichrist - Anti-Oedipus. A reception study of Lars Von Trier´s clash with the Symbolic Order

The purpose of the abstract is first of all to contribute to enlarging the knowledge of the study of aesthetic analysis of films; subsequently to present art as a source of semantic universal patterns of experience, e.g. anxiety, grief, desire, the fear of the sublime and the ideas of "Joussiance" (Lacan); finally regarding aesthetic education to media pedagogy.
The main theoretical approach deals with media reception from a semiotic viewpoint of narratology (Genette 1992, Kragh Grodal 1994 and others). Grodal outlines a systematic theory of emotions to the steps of the receiver's aesthetic experience presenting af model of the narrative flow to account for the analysis of Antichrist.
In order to substantiate the potential semantic representation of the receiver, I finally challenge the questions of ontology of the being with reference to Deleuzes´idea of the individual as a 'nomad' seeking zones of intensity and events of emergence. Does the dystopian universe and cultural critique presented by Trier give us an (the spectators) an existential chance of living?
