Análisis fílmico de la construcción de los cuerpos feminizados en filmes latinoamericanos desde el feminismo decolonial y la teoría queer

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the construction of feminized bodies in Latin American films through the theoretical proposals of decolonial feminism and queer theory. Through a qualitative approach, a bibliographic documentary study is established where convergences and divergences in the construction of the experiences of the protagonists of the Latin American films are analyzed. The films studied are Pólvora en el corazón (2019) by Camila Urrutia and Tengo miedo Torero (2020) by Rodrigo Sepúlveda through a philosophical filmic analysis. Likewise, from the intersectional perspective, the experiences of violence naturalized and legitimized in different societies from epistemological spheres and social apparatuses are criticized. Likewise, a critique of cinema as a tool of alienation or emancipation is generated in the different films. Hand in hand with the understanding of feminized bodies portrayed as subjects in submission to power, invisibilized in the public space and manipulated by social actors for whom they represent only sexual objects. The scenes and films constitute the path towards the definition of these bodies as transversalized by different oppressions. Finally, from the ontological category, these bodies are recognized by the dispossession of non-being and the organized reconstruction of the social fabric is proposed as an emancipatory possibility in order to recover meaning.
