VELIZ, Mariano. Inflections of the (in)visible: the Chilean post dictatorship in the documentaries of Marcela Said and Jean de Certeau. Dixit [online]. 2020, n.33, pp.26-40.  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d33.2375.

The article explores a series of documentaries directed by Marcela Said and Jean de Certeau with the aim of thinking the strategies articulated there to reflect on the link between Chilean democratic transition and the problem of visibility. The analysis of I Love Pinochet (Said, 2001), Opus Dei: una cruzada silenciosa (Said and De Certeau, 2006) and El mocito (Said and De Certeau, 2011) emphazise on the conflict derived from the access or not to visibility. In this search, the article puts in dialogue the three documentary films with different theories that address the dilemmas of the visible in contemporary world. These exchanges between theory and documentary productions allow us to conclude that in these films is dismantled the operation of visibility and discursiveness configured in the post-dictatorial period in Chile.
