Abstract
The research presented aims the study of leisure figurations of women in a group of Argentine fiction films that belong to the current so-called New Argentine Cinema. The objectives are to explore the issue of women’s leisure considering its filmic figurations; to propose a reading of this issue in six films that have not been studied in that direction; to conceive cinema in regard to contemporary socio-sexual universes. The corpus is composed of Ana y los otros (Murga, 2003), Una novia errante (Katz, 2006), Rompecabezas (Smirnoff, 2009), La niña santa (Martel, 2004), Ostende (Citarella, 2011) and Réimon (Moreno, 2014). These films show the deployment of different figures linked to leisure, like travel, conversations, parties, games, creative activities (literary, musical, aesthetic). Each of the films receives an analysis based on specific theoretical problems which we address in the respective chapters, and also are related to other works of the period, as well as the history of cinema, so that the analysis is connected to other cultural and audiovisual productions. The filmic analysis highlights changes in the daily lives of girls and women, belonging to different classes and geographies, with different occupations, in public and private, domestic and non domestic spheres. With the focus on the main characters, the films expose the need for some form of leisure as a condition for the creation of new subjective positions. Leisure is understood in a broad sense, which takes into account a flexible range of activities, covering cultural experiences in exterior or interior spaces: promenade, route, hotel, home, beach, forest, street, means of transport. The research allows recognizing a desire linked to leisure, that puts in tension conventional parameters of work, politics, production, domestic. The thesis articulates a series of fundamental studies to understand the contemporary Argentine cinema in historical, political and aesthetic terms. To investigate these figurations, two axes are mainly considered: 1. the first considers two interrelated dimensions: on the one hand, the main contributions of feminist theory to the field of cinema in relation to recent researches about “Stimmung” (filmic atmosphere), and on the other, the question of the “own rhythm” (“idiorritmo”); 2. The second axis is linked to leisure studies regarding the socio-cultural field from the theoretical problems that arise in the dialectical relationship with film materials.
