Migraciones y nuevos modos de pensar en la identidad contemporánea: Representaciones fílmicas en un mundo globalizado

Abstract

Research Project 14.2 presents a space for reflection in relation to collective representations and the conformation of social imaginaries. Cinema is a social document that proposes a multiplicity of views on the mentalities of a time or place. Through their stories and their ways of presenting themselves, it is possible to understand the rules and speeches that prevail today. It is proposed to analyze how the concept of globalization manifests itself at various moments in history and from different perspectives, always using the cinema as a motor of approach. What these investigations seek is to make the concept and its ways of presenting itself in filmic representations more complex, addressing its consequences as a range that displays other ways of understanding societies. This leads us to reflect on migrations and the new paradigms that are manifested in the construction of contemporary identity. Otherness as a concept far removed from our daily life is losing space, giving rise to the formation of new actors and social relationships.
