Jóvenes y alocadxs: Políticas de memoria y sexualidad en el cine chileno contemporáneo
Abstract
This article discusses, through the analysis of three LGBTQ+ films, Wild and Young [Joven y Alocada] (Marialy Rivas, 2012), A Map to talk [Mapa para conversar] (Constanza Fernández Bertrand, 2011) and Another Love Movie [Otra película de amor] (Edwin Oyarce, 2010), the role of queer subjectivities in revising the Chile's recent past through queering the bildungsroman genre. The coming-out of the younger generation questions the moral and ethical consistency of the older generation by exposing them to their own ethical and ideological fractures as subjects co-opted by the neoliberal system; and at the same time, as involuntary accomplices of the revolutionary failure of Allende's Popular Unity government. The article’s discussion of the formation of new social bonds, ethically consistent with the younger generation’s desires and horizons of meaning, and their exploration through the figure of the "perverse queer teen," completes the proposed analysis of the new social and intersubjective contracts present in Chile today.
