Description

Este libro constituye la primera monografia dedicada al papel del nino en el cine latinoamericano. El analisis detallado de una decena de peliculas argentinas de la post-dictadura dirigidas entre 1983 y 2008, incluyendo tanto clasicas (La historia oficial, Un lugar en el mundo) como olvidadas (Amigomio, El rigor del destino), revela como la mirada y el lenguaje del nino son puestos al servicio de una alegoria nostalgica, estructurada en torno a la memoria o al lenguaje verbal y vinculada a la figura del padre ausente. Dufays combina los analisis filmicos con una amplia reflexion teorica sobre las cuatro nociones clave de alegoria, melancolia, nostalgia y duelo y rticula con una genealogia de la figura alegorica del nino en las tradiciones narrativas latinoamericanas. Este recorrido permite al lector explorar las significaciones simbolicas y discursivas que el personaje infantil, la infancia y la familia han adquirido en el cine y en el contexto postdictatorial argentino. Sophie Dufays es investigadora postdoctoral del Fondo Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica de Belgica, en la Universidad de Louvain-la-Neuve. This book is the first monograph devoted to the role of the child in Latin American cinema. Through close analysis of about ten Argentine fiction films of the post-dictatorship period directed between 1983 and 2008, including both classic such as The Official Story and A Place in the World) and forgotten works such as Amigomio and El rigor del destino. Dufays shows how the child's gaze and language are a means of focusing a nostalgic form of allegory, structured around either memory or verbal language, and related to the figure of the absent father. In combining these analyses with a wide theoretical articulation of four key notions (allegory, melancholy, mourning and nostalgia) and with a genealogy of the allegorical child character in Latin American narrative traditions, Relatos de infancia allows the reader to explore the meanings that childhood and family have come to acquire in cinema, particularly in the Argentine post-dictatorial context. Sophie Dufays is a FNRS Postdoctoral Researcher (Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research) at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve.
