Una mirada a la representación de la experiencia femenina en el cine y la cultura colombiana a través del lente de Ciro Guerra en La sombra del caminante (2004), Los viajes del viento (2009) y El abrazo de la serpiente (2015)

Abstract

Ciro Guerra’s La sombra del caminante/Wandering Shadows (2017), Los viajes del viento/ The Wind Journeys (2009) and El abrazo de la serpiente/The Embrace of the Serpent (2015) address critical issues in Colombian history and avoid spectacularizing violence and poverty while dignifying many of the challenges faced by marginalized groups in Colombia. However, this trilogy of films is still characterized by a masculine presence and lacks female representation. From an intersectional perspective, this article connects the absence of feminine experiences in this set of films with the insufficient recognition that has historically been given to women’s contributions and participation in the construction of historical memory, artistic creation and preservation of ancestral knowledge in Colombia
