Book Launch: ‘Memórias em Movimento: História e Trauma nos Cinemas Ibero-americanos’
On 3 November at 6 p.m., in Room 8 on the 5th floor of FLUC, the launch of the book ‘Memórias em Movimento: História e Trauma nos Cinemas Ibero-americanos’ (Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2023) will take place. The volume is edited by CEIS20 researchers Iván Villarmea Álvarez, Silvana Mariani, and Júlia Vilhena.
The work is a bilingual collective volume, in Portuguese and Spanish, offering a transnational perspective aligned with the field of Iberian Studies, as well as with Memory, Trauma, and Non-fiction Film Studies, with particular emphasis on 21st-century Argentine and Chilean documentary cinema.
It seeks to combine theoretical reflection on strategies for representing cultural memory in film with the analysis of several case studies from different countries (Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Chile), among which the documentaries made by Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán stand out.
