Description
Summary:With an approach to critical geography, cultural studies, politics and urbanism, this article proposes to explore the question of urban spaces represented in two films directed by Juan José Campanella: Luna de Avellaneda [Moon of Avellaneda] (2004) and Metegol [Underdogs] (2013). Consideration is paid to the films’ production context and their consumption, the recurrence of certain “guiding fictions” (Shumway, 1993), the construction of their imaginary limits, and the relationships that the characters have with them. It concludes that both films project long-standing symbolic reconstructions of their society, while exhibiting its unresolved struggles and debating a sense of community belonging.
