Abstract

SIMIAO, Suelen Caldas de Sousa. La ciudad que huye: Argentine “countries” and the noise of the city in the cinema. Dixit [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.54-69.  Epub Dec 01, 2019. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v0i31.1830.

The present work intends to analyze the urban presence from the echoes and noises of the city, expressed in Lucrecia Martel’s short documentary La ciudad que huye (2006), and in the films Cara de queso - mi primer ghetto (2006) by Ariel Winograd, Una semana solos (2008) by Celina Murga, Las viudas de los jueves (2009) by Marcelo Piñeyro, Historia del miedo (2014) by Benjamín Naishtat, and Los decentes (2016) by Lukas Valenta Rinner, through the reverse of the city that is transformed into citadel, forged by a middle and upper class and under the context of neoliberal policies. The films appear as singular languages that, interwoven in the light of technical documentation, the bibliography on cities and the understanding of the historical process of formation of the countries, help us to think and problematize the relations between sensibilities, sociabilities and contemporary urban space in this kind of “city that flees”.

Keywords : cinema; sensibilities; sociability; countries; Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region.
