Diseño de una guía para la construcción de personajes victimarios con trastorno de estrés post traumático de guerra y su aplicación en las películas colombianas: Satanás, La sombra del caminante y El páramo

Abstract

The main objective of the present monograph, is to design a guide for the construction of fictitious characters who are suffering of port-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), based on the symptoms presented in The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5, fifth edition, by the American Society of Psychiatry. Henceforth, we conducted a thorough investigation on the history and exploration of PTSD-related topics through cinema in their entanglement and social reflection of the Colombian armed conflict, in order to better analyze the different cinematic components of the characters in Colombian movies such as: Satanas—Eliseo—La Sombra del Caminante—el Silletero—y El Paramo—Ponce y Cortes. Which as a result, yielded different character-related degrees of PTSD. Therefore, the guide is used and applied to our short film, Gatillo, and main character, Ismael.
