Excess, body genres, affective and passional engagement.Abstract
This article intends to conceptualize excess as both stylistic element
and cultural matrix, establishing its implications for cinematic
and audiovisual culture. Excess is here articulated with some
affective engagement strategies that are constructed by different
genres and oeuvres. Therefore, the concept is related to what we
define as a sensational pedagogy (central to the crystallization and
strengthening of the modernity project) and to the body genres.
In order to grasp the concept, we will focus on the film Standard
operating procedure (Errol Morris, 2008).
