La performance "Un violador en tu camino" de Lastesis como denuncia al femigenocidio
Durante el período de pandemia (COVID-19), oficialmente reconocido en marzo 2020, hubo un aumento de casos de violencia de género en países como Chile y Argentina. Sólo unos meses antes, en noviembre 2019, el colectivo chileno LASTESIS había salido al espacio público precisamente para denunciar la violencia en contra de las mujeres, ello con su “Un violador en tu camino”. Como acto artístico-político, la performance permitió elucidar y divulgar t…
Resisting Neoliberal Totality
In contemporary Chile the “new” Nueva Canción Chilena movement has been actively defying the legacyof the neoliberal fascist counterrevolution imposed by the dictatorship.. In this context, Manuel García constructs his poetics via a combination of rock, the trobador tradition, and various Latin American popular genres, while Aldo Asenjo has been recuperating long-marginalized musical forms, such as cumbia chilombiana and canción cebolla. I argue …
The Return to the Social through the Collective “I”
Produced 21 years after the return to institutional democracy in Chile, Ignacio Agüero’s El otro día (The other day, 2012) picks up a set of social topics that were left in suspension under authoritarianism. In doing so, it evidences two main divergences in this renewal of social projects. Firstly, rather than adopting old hierarchies of detached narration, this film adopts a contemplative, self-referential first-person perspective. Secondly, it …
Uneasy social and psychological landscapes in the cinemas of Chile and New Zealand
Distinct modes of social and psychological angst are noted in a significant number of films from Chile and New Zealand, becoming most evident in the way family relations are portrayed, and in various modes through which the protagonists relate to their natural and social environment. This article focuses on the films In My Father's Den (Brad McGann, New Zealand, 2004) and B-Happy (Gonzalo Justiniano, Chile, 2003). The narrative of both these film…
Forensic Memory, Responsibility, and Judgment
Among the political documentaries produced in Chile in the postauthoritarian era there is a significant corpus of films that carry out a meticulous process of forensic memory. Both documentaries that dig through skeletal remains and those that excavate the memories of surviving victims or witnesses of state terror are carrying out similar archaeological forensic work. They examine records that, rather than simply evidencing past violence, exhibit…

Latent Image
Central to the analysis of a corpus of films dealing with current psychosocial conditions in Chile and the challenges of communal reconciliation, are the concepts of collective memory and social trauma. Chilean cinema of the postdictatorship reflects a society whose channels of communication have been broken, in which the past continues to be a source of contestation and dispute. The neoliberal system imposed in the early 1970s has significantly …
Gay Proletarian Memory
This is an interview conducted to Pedro Lemebel, a Chilean visual artist and writer, who in the 1990s established himself as one of the most provocative and wrenching voices in the contemporary literary culture of Chile and Latin America in general. His chronicles direct their most confrontational barbs towards practices that regulate the traffic of memories, linguistic purism, political reconciliation and sexual 'decency'. In the 1980s he began …
Identidad, arqueologia e industrias transnacionales
El trabajo del músico brasileño-chileno, Joe Vasconcellos, se sitúa en el cruce entre lo rural-urbano y masivo-local.* Hace su primera aparición en la escena chilena cuando se une al grupo Congreso en 1980 y graba junto a ellos una de las canciones más emblemáticas del grupo y de su propia carrera, "Hijos del sol luminoso".1 En 1989 graba su primer álbum en Brasil, Esto es sólo una canción,2 y en 1992, ya instalado en Chile, el disco Verde Cerca …
Diamela Eltit
Diamela Eltit (Santiago de Chile, 1949) es en la actualidad una de las escritoras latinoamericanas más innovadoras e importantes. Inaugura su protagonismo artistico a fines de la década de los setenta en el grupo CADA (Colectivo de Acciones de Arte), entidad que reunió a artistas plásticos, cineastas y escritores. La narrativa de Eltit conserva aún la marca del hermetismo y el desgarro que caracterizó a las primeras manifestaciones estéticas surg…
