Recognitions, Paths and Deceits: Literary Reflections on the Emergence of Cinema in Santiago (1900-1931)

Main Article Content

Javiera Lorenzini Raty

Abstract

The following article will trace, in three literary texts, the “imaginary” footprints of the appearance of the cinema in Santiago, Chile: Casa Grande by Luis Orrego Luco, and the chronicles “Un roto va al cine” and “La visita del cowboy” by Joaquín Edwards Bello. From the methodological framework given by the history of urban culture, the analysis of these texts will try to ascertain how the representational impact of the cinematographic phenomenon in Santiago, during the 20th century, articulates a public space characterized by discursive tensions and ambiguities.
