Resumen

Dans cet article, nous discuterons le rôle de l’environnement (construit), comme un élément de sens dans la narrative du film dirigé par Bong Joon-Ho, Parasite (2019), particulièrement en ce qui concerne les formes immanentes de lutte des classes et d’exploitation dans la vie quotidienne. Par l’analyse filmique, nous mettons en avant les troublantes relations de pouvoir qui se jouent entre riches et pauvres, miroitées par les deux familles mises en deux plans, l’un le négatif de l’autre, dans la société contemporaine, et la façon dont les concepts d’aliénation/étrangement, objectification/réification et fétichisme commodité peuvent être utilisés pour mettre en évidence ces relations

Mots-clés: Parasite; environnement construit; inéqualité; lutte de classes; aliénation; vie quotidienne.
