Memórias em Movimento: História e Trauma nos Cinemas Ibero-Americanos

Overview & Synopsis

Memories in Motion was born as a Portuguese-Castilian bilingual volume to try to establish a bridge between researchers working in the two Iberian languages across the Atlantic Ocean. It therefore has a transnational perspective aligned with the field of Iberian studies, as well as with studies of memory, trauma, and non-fiction cinema, with special emphasis on Argentinian and Chilean documentaries of the 21st century.<br>This volume also aims to combine theoretical reflection on strategies for representing cultural memory in cinema with the analysis of various case studies from different countries (Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Chile), including documentaries made by Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán. To conclude the volume, in fact, we decided to include the edited transcript of a recent interview with this documentary filmmaker in order to better contextualize the previous five chapters, which focus on analyzing his work.
