Abstract
This thesis analyzes a series of films of Uruguayan social and political cinema from the period 1958-1973 and examines an imaginary of rupture that questioned the idea of the country's exceptionality summed up in the popular phrase “There is no place like Uruguay” (Como el Uruguay no hay). With this purpose, the work reflects on the way in which films operate in a complex and dense terrain, recovers the spaces or events that framed the appearance of these titles in the public sphere, analyzes with what political and aesthetic ideas and national or transnational discourses they dialogued, what regional or global trends (styles, narrative strategies, technological innovations) were associated with these films and what practices accompanied their production and circulation. Faced with the approaches to the study of Uruguayan cinema of this period more focused on its relationship with the revolutionary horizon of the Latin American left and the left militancy in Uruguay or on its connection with the framework of the so-called New Latin American Cinema, this work proposes another narrative that recovers the prominence of artisanal knowledge and informal collaborations in the course of this process. This idea fits the analysis of the Uruguayan case because it highlights the absence of a film industry, the difficulty of learning to make films, and the role played by those who transmitted what they knew. Far from proposing a perspective in the style of the history of technique or highlighting a pedagogical project, this research thinks of knowledge and collaborations as energizing elements that constitute an alternative framework from which to think about the dynamics of Uruguayan social and political cinema of the 60s. Following this direction and in a diachronic analysis, the thesis also shows that the meanings and values associated with the artisan technique, collaborations and the transmission of knowledge, were re-signified at the end of the period: teaching, learning the technique, the precarious conditions of production and experimentation with practice were valued in another way and in relation to an expanding epic-revolutionary discourse.
