It assumes that material memory, understood as the process of remembrance that results from the engagement with material traces of the past (objects, places, landscapes), is a recurrent trope by which contemporary documentary filmmakers criticize official discourses on memory from the Kirchners’s era. In this context, it reads La idea de un lago as a fictional text that performs this mode by using photographs and landscape – as those traces of the past that bring it to the present – to embody the conflicting relationship that children of the disappeared hold with the traumatic absence of a parent. At the level of cultural memory, this translates into a narrative of the dictatorship that does not problematize – as non-fictional work did – but rather reinforces kirchnerist politics of memory. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H23-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/FPU19-03436 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-123836NB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 0.1 2024 0.105 2024 Visual Arts and Performing Arts 2024 Q3 Multidisciplinary 2024 Q4 Communication 2024 Q4 Cultural Studies 2024 Q4 0.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 3004 345 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
