- Cara y cuerpo del horror : representaciones de Ingrid Olderock(2020) Llanos, BernarditaIn the Chilean imaginary Ingrid Olderock is constructed as a monster associated with the power of the institution of Carabineros and later with the agencies of repression in the Pinochet dictatorship. Olderock represents an emblematic extreme where different discourses on violence and insanity overlap and that the butch figure condenses as an abject character. Horror is linked not only to gender but to the non-normative sexuality of the cruel torturer. Olderock appears in the play La mujer de los perros (2017) by Eduardo Vega which underscores her insanity, lack of femininity, and a desire to dominate and inflict pain are her signature. The abject female body is here significantly associated with a heartless brutality and the absence of justice. On the other hand, the play Irán 3730 (2019) by Patricia Artés, Olderock is not seen even though she was in charge of the torture house La Venda Sexy in the property where the dramatic action unfolds in the present. These two takes towards the past and Olderock sustain themselves in different visions of the legacy of the dictatorship. Artés has a gender perspective that allows for a broader understanding of history and the role of women activists in the past. Their impact in the present displaces the torturer and highlights feminist activism and the political struggle of former militants for their recognition and for justice.

- Los Coloquios Latinoamericanos de Fotografía : hacia una definición de la fotografía hecha en Latinoamérica(2020) Rigat, LeticiaEn el presente artículo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre los Coloquios Latinoamericanos de Fotografía que tuvieron lugar entre los años 1978 y 1996, en los que se buscó definir y categorizar a la fotografía latinoamericana. Dichos Coloquios se propusieron situar a la fotografía latinoamericana en el contexto de las actividades de la fotografía internacional, y propiciar una reflexión crítica sobre la identidad visual de las prácticas fotográficas de la región. En este sentido, buscamos indagar los documentos y actas de los coloquios a fin de proporcionar una lectura sobre el pensamiento sobre la fotografía latinoamericana en aquel contexto, partiendo del Primer Coloquio Latinoamericano de Fotografía realizado en México en 1978 y su evolución entre los encuentros posteriores: Segundo Coloquio Latinoamericano de Fotografía (México, 1981); Tercer Coloquio Latinoamericano de Fotografía (Cuba, 1984); Encuentro de Fotografía Latinoamericana (Venezuela, 1993); y Quinto coloquio Latinoamericano de Fotografía (México, 1996), intentando identificar los conceptos teóricos y visuales centrales.

- Reajustes de la violencia en una novela, su adaptación al cine y un remake : 'El secreto de sus ojos'(2020) Malpartida Tirado, RafaelThis paper deals with an aspect rarely explored in Transtextuality Studies: the relationship between a literary text and its film adaptation (El secreto de sus ojos) with a remake (Secret of Their Eyes). This analysis considers the categories of readaptation, simple remake and compound or mixed adaptation. For this purpose, it focuses on (1) the representation of violence, in accordance with the distinction proposed by Steven Pinker (according to Hobbes) on the causes of human conflict, (2) on the construction of the characters, and (3) on how images are shown. In this way, the necessary readjustments that are carried out in two very different historical contexts are analyzed: the situation prior to the Argentine Military Dictatorship of 1976 (where Sacheri?s novel and Campanella?s film are set) and the anti-terrorist hypervigilance after the attacks of September 11th (in Billy Ray?s version of 2015).

- El vicio de criticar : teoría, crítica y polémica según Alberto Cardín(2020) López Martínez, RodrigoIn face of a democratic transition characterized by the mutually dependent normalization of the cultural and political fields, Alberto Cardín emerges as an uncomfortable, marginal and relatively forgotten personality. Revisiting his polemical interventions in magazines like Revista de Literatura and Diwan allows us to integrally address his intellectual stakes, as well as to find still productive discussions with which to brush the transition against the grain. As a pioneer introducer of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Spain, the dialogue between Cardín and the Argentinean Oscar Masotta delineates a distinctively theoretical perspective in regards to the redefinition of the intellectual subject in the renewed post-Franco scene. While denouncing the transition?s rearrangement of the most celebrated Spanish intellectuals, Cardín puts forward an alternative critical stake in its own textual immanency. He invokes diatribes and polemics not only as confrontational tools in the cultural field, but he adopts them as properly formal means: with them, Cardín redefines and vindicates the discursive specificity of criticism as the radical assumption of irreducible conflicts and differences, opposed to any summon to consensus.
- ?y no se ha de ver más que la luz : Rodolfo Walsh y Cuba en los orígenes compartidos del testimonio latinoamericano y el Tercer Cine(2020) Pedregal, AlejandroThis article explores, through a comparative analysis of cultural practices and discourses, part of the literary and militant activities of Rodolfo Walsh, in relation to some of the most significant aspects in the shared emergence between Latin American testimonio and Third Cinema. For that purpose, the text investigates the role played by Cuban revolutionary institutions and publications (Casa de las Américas and ICAIC; and magazines Casa de las Américas, Cine Cubano and Tricontinental) in legitimizing and disseminating these proposals in literature and cinema. This cultural policy was part of a very particular type of confluence between culture and politics, which was inscribed within a Latin American and Third World revolutionary project. The Cuban position problematized the question of the revolutionary potential of the arts among writers, intellectuals and artists, something that would reach a critical moment with the perception of the exhaustion of certain forms of expression and the tragic death of Che Guevara in 1967. Ultimately, this context led to strong controversies and radical proposals that would give rise to the appearance of testimonio and Third Cinema. Walsh, in different degrees, went through this experience, materializing both in his work and in his militancy, the particularities of an entire cultural era ?a time of such significance for Latin America and the Third World that it would end up impacting the First World as well.
- La identidad en juego : un acercamiento autoficcional a 'La casa en Mango Street'(2020) Montes Romera, LauraThis article explains the autofictional construction of The House on Mango Street, literary work of the Chicana Sandra Cisneros. It is based on the theoretical basis that considers autofiction as a genre not subordinated to others, following the position of Vera Toro. It elaborates a study of the key elements of the poetic work, as well as the sociohistorical conditions in which it got written. It also analyzes how space is the fundamental narrative element that allows us to establish a relationship between literary creation, the creation of the identity of the Chicano people and the female narrator from the piece. In this study we are also taking into account the text?s strong critical character: on one side, we observe the Chicana identity at a community level, meeting this dynamic and hybrid or interstitial space, as Homi Bhabha conceptualizes it. On the other side, we see this identity enunciated from a feminine subject / alterity point of view or even from let?s say feminine alterities, bringing into dialogue this intermediary place with the paradoxical wild zone that entails Esperanza Cordero?s narration.
- Miradas oblicuas : infancias, paisajes y comunidades interrumpidas en el cine de Dominga Sotomayor(2020) Veliz, Mariano; Alonso, Mercedes; Staude, MarielaIn De jueves a domingo (2012), Mar (2014) and Tarde para morir joven (2018), Dominga Sotomayor explores the intimacy of a family, a couple and a community. In these approaches, intimacy establishes varying degrees of tension with the outside and the public. These oscillations highlight one of the most frequent and repeatedly studied characteristics of contemporary Chilean cinema: the transformation of intimacy into the locus where the conflicts of the past and the present are indirectly projected. This article considers the way in which Sotomayor's cinema is inscribed in the current panorama of Chilean cinema and, through it, in its socio-political scenario. It aims at doing so analyzing three interrelated problems: the narrative and sensitive forms of representation, their articulation from the narrative, spatial and sensorial positions of the young and the construction of landscape through the interaction between natural environments and subjects that occupy and move through them.

- Historia conceptual del quinqui. Pluriempleo, policía, prensa y mito(2020) Pérez Rodríguez, PaulaHow do you go from the quinquillero to the quinqui? What cultural transit is marked in the shortening of this word? Are quinquis the children of those who worked with quincalla? What do quinqui(llero)s tell us about the turning of a rural and agrarian economy to the Spanish technocratic developmentalism, its consequent unemployment and the UVAs? The quinqui reappears again and again in social discourses in Spain to signal the subjective and labor forms that dissent from mainstream collectivity. This paper investigates the conceptual history of the quinqui before the 1980s, proposing as its main hypothesis that it is in these historical quinquis that we find the discursive and material roots of the young and suburban quinqui. Following press files of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and also sensationalist articles of the sixties and seventies, as well as some investigative textual works, this article seeks to present the archeology of the disciplinary biopolitical operation of exclusion that is configured around the significant ?quinqui? and its variants, taking into account its rural, ethnic and labor dimensions within public discourse.

- Cosas, pruebas, indicios : los restos del conflicto armado en el Salvador(2020) Jossa, EmanuelaDrawing on the context of immunity and oblivion in El Salvador following the civil war (1980-1992), the present work intends to investigate the meaning and the function of material remains, by using the notion of trace as the presentification of a history that is past and yet still in force. While this work focuses on remains (bones, clothes, toys) that are juridical evidence, in addition to their juridical function it will also examine another function ? one that involves affect, mourning, reparation. The article starts by providing a short but necessary historical synopsis that connects the 1932 repression with the ?tierra arrasada? strategy in the 1980s, during the war. It then moves on to examine different types of material remains, ranging from oral and written testimonies, to works of art, performance, narrative and photography inhabited by past traumas and present concerns. The aim of the article is to explore the ways in which the evocation of material remains enables access to and understanding of the past in the light of a memory that is meant to be both a dynamic process and a project for different political and cultural relations.
- Naufragios(2020) Lorenzano, SandraThis text is a poetic and testimonial journey, about my own adolescence lived in Argentina at the time the repression begins, and the years of Mexican exile. The memory of pain, fear, absences, solidarity, family frailties, appears interwoven with objects and geographies, with images and sounds, which function as guardians of memory. The presentation of this text carried out in Naples in 2019 was a performance in which music, images and objects accompanied the reading of the text. We hope that these lines allow you to imagine it like this.
