De la vitanda identidad entre avaricia y capitalismo y de su expresión en el cine

Abstract

The reflection that I carry out in these lines is articulated into two levels, in the first whereof I define the concepts required to make evident the community of import existing between miserliness and the conception of existence that capitalism imposes; I shall in the second level show how that is brought to light in a film that shows how capitalism has attained a global phase ruled by mass-media. That is to say, I shall not deal with cinema but in so far as it makes us see clearly the way miserliness structures throughout the comprehension of existence that determines us, which is why the reader can skip the first section and read directly the second one, devoted to cinema. On the other hand, I make it clear that I shall through the dissertation resort to sources that belong to different fields of culture, so that I shall deal with an intellectually complex subject.
