Abstract

We seek to understand how the politics is expressed into the non-verbal domain by the analysis of the intertextual relation between two scenes from two movies: the Odessa steps, in Battleship Potemkin (1925) and the train station steps, in The Untouchables (1987). Through the movement of metaphorical effects, a discursive memory works in the De Palma’s movie, pointing out both the filiation and the possibility to talk about non-verbal (i)mmaterialities in Eiseinstein.
