Descripción
Sumario:This article addresses a relevant phenomenon in Latin American audiovisual production in recent decades: the emergence of documentaries that proposed interventions on family archives to study the link between film and history. Santiago (Uma reflexão sobre o material bruto) by João Moreira Salles (2007) and La sombra by Javier Olivera (2015) configure family archives as counter-archives articulated between personal, family, national and film history. The objective of the article focuses on investigating the aesthetic and historiographical power of these interventions, carried out in the context of the archival turn themed by Hal Foster. The analysis of the films is based on the theoretical proposals of Marianne Hirsch, Roger Odin and Jacques Derrida, and is guided by a textual analysis methodology. The result of this study will allows us to perceive the power of the interventions on the archive as ways of rewriting the national and/or family histories.
