Quinqui cinema and social imaginaries. Boby and gender indentities
Abstract
In quinqui films converge a vindication of freedom, formalized as a cry of rebellion and a mystification of its protagonists, those young offenders elevated to the status of new héroes, protagonists of a desperate struggle, between social survival and outright rebellion. This reflects a fascination with the lumpen, for an otherness that does not find its place in the new ideological and social formation but also an hipervisibilización of the body as an instrument of liberation that challenges gender identities, especially male. If, in the social discourse of the transition , there is only exacerbated identity, spectacularized violence, body is also flaunted, overexposed.Downloads
