El Pasado que miramos
Memoria e imagen ante la historia reciente
(Paidós, 2009)
LIB 306
Los ensayos reunidos en este libro constituyen un aporte fundamental y novedoso tanto en el campo de la comunicación como de los estudios sobre la memoria. A partir del análisis sobre las diferentes maneras de utilizar las imágenes en la memoria de la Argentina post-dictatorial, las compiladoras no solo delimitan un problema, sino que instauran una nueva línea de trabajo al colocar su objeto en la perspectiva de una multiplicidad de abordajes. El medio de este libro es el lenguaje de y sobre todos los medios de expresión de la memoria: la declaración, el testimonio, la autobiografía, la fotografía, el cine, el documental, la televisión.
Centrándose en los medios visuales, los ensayos de este libro, con sus diversos estilos y enfoques, intentan comprender las relaciones entre lenguaje verbal e imagen, historia y memoria, hecho y ficción. Con esta misión, el libro evita caer en una trampa que acecha a gran parte de la bibliografía contemporánea sobre la memoria: creer en la completa autenticidad, en todo momento, de la voz del testigo. Y no se abstiene de señalar las mitificaciones y compulsiones a la repetición en el proceso de recordar a los desaparecidos a través de la fotografía, el cine y la televisión. En este sentido, El pasado que miramos resulta una contribución esencial para pensar y discutir el presente.
