Abstract

This article examines and analyzes political forms of argentine cinema from the sixties to the present, focusing especially on contemporary argentine cinema (1995-2010). It will try to deal with «political forms» rather than with the notion of a «political fi lm», an exercise to think about politics and aesthetics as an immanent relation. Thus, three periods are considered in this article: the sixties and seventies as the emergence of political cinema; the eighties as the displacement of politics by moral denunciation and the nineties and after 2001 as a return of the sensory experience or as the advent of «sensible policies.» The text will explore political forms in fi lms, and will question this device of aesthetic representation in cinematography.
