Poetics of the Real in Five Contemporary Latin American Documentaries
Aesthetic Ecology, Memory and Sensorial Epistemologies
Keywords:
cinema latino-americano;, documentário experimental, ecologia estética, epistemologias sensoriais, memóriaAbstract
This article analyses five Latin American documentaries — Há Terra!, Cuatreros, Nostalgia de la luz, Tempestad and Homo botanicus — to examine how camera work, editing, archive, voice and sound produce knowledge. Drawing on film analysis, phenomenology and decolonial criticism, it proposes the concepts of sensorial epistemologies and aesthetic ecology, concluding that the films’ political force results from the articulation of form, history, ethics and spectatorial experience.
