El cuerpo en la producción cultural de HIJOS e hijo

Abstract

Within a powerful, though brief, tradition of different ways of representing the “missing” body, which is the singular contribution of HIJOS? We focus on the analysis of Aparecida (2015) by Marta Dillon and explore certain representations of the missing parent’s body that HIJOS articulate in their cultural productions: form the face to the body, from the disappeared body to the appeared one, form the ghost to the bones, from the corpse to the resuscitated. The itinerary moves into particular scenes, such as the parent’s photography montage in “Arqueología de la ausencia” (1999-2001) by Lucila Quieto or the figure of the mother in some stories of 76 (2008) by Féliz Bruzzone; scenes which give place to two narrations and two politics of memory: the body, mute and irrepresentable, and the recovered body and resuscitated.
