Lo único en lo común: estrategias enunciativas en el cine de no ficción latinoamericano sobre acción colectiva

Nonfiction films propose a textual articulation of social contingency based on the assertion that the objects, subjects, relationships, and events they represent are true and offer rational explanations of conflictive contexts and the actions of those immersed in them. This article adopts the understanding of nonfiction cinema to approach --from a semiodiscursive perspective -- social protest in the films Las tres muertes de Marisela Escobedo (Carlos Pérez, 2020) and Espero tu (re)vuelta (Eliza Capai, 2019). By analyzing their enunciative strategies, we seek to explore some of the political possibilities of nonfiction cinema. The study aims to explore how these strategies contribute to the representation of social protest and the integration of individual actions into collective movements. The results suggest that the selected films employ two strategies for integrating the unique into the collective: from individual performance towards political awareness and from polyphonic filmmaking towards social action. These strategies are posited as potential contributions to both the repertoires of collective action and representation of nonfiction cinema.
