AIMARETTI, María. Passionate Nettings, Filiation Nettings: The Maternal Imaginary in Guacho (1954), by Lucas Demare. Dixit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.1, pp.1-16. Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 1688-3497. https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v36i1.2528.
This article, which is part of a research focused on the diachronic mapping of the figurations of the maternal universe in Argentine cinema, reflects on the film Guacho (Lucas Demare, 1954), regarding the modes of representation of women-mothers that deviate from the canonical paradigm that subordinates female desire to the reproductive role and the socio-affective role of childcare. From the model of cultural history, the first part reconstructs, from an exhaustive hemerographic work, the material plot that made possible this blockbuster, which was the highest grossing film in 1954, had international exhibition and migrated to other media formats, putting it in correlation with its socio-political context of inscription. Taking critical tools from gender studies, the second part is interested in examining some of the signs that account for that "deviant" feminine-maternal agency, taking into consideration the narrative and figurative strategies put into play for its representation.
