Space off, space on: feminisms, women and the queer/cuir in the cinema and audiovisual studies thresholds

Abstract

Genealogical cartography of feminisms and variations of the queer theory and the concept of gender in the context of the thresholds of film and audiovisual studies in Argentina. In the first part, some modulations and differences of the concepts and perspectives (feminisms/gender/queer) are presented in a broader context, then is proposed the archaeological hypothesis of the different thresholds and scales to diagram a cartography. In the second part, the written production, between the thresholds of positivity and the epistemological, around women's cinema is mainly described from the production of María Luisa Bemberg and the introduction of the concept of "technologies of gender". Finally, are shown some variations of the queer, the cuir, and the feminisms, from the liminality of the epistemological and philosophical threshold, focusing on the production of directors such as Lucrecia Martel and Albertina Carri, among others.
