Resumo: In this article, our goal is to discuss how some directors have portrayed the recent past of military dictatorships. We have approached the theme from a common perspective some fi lms have: a discursive strategy to assemble movies from the angle of children protagonists. Therefore we will discuss the debate between history and cinema, and analyze the fi lms: Kamchatka (Marcelo Piñeyro, Argentina, 2002), Machuca (Andrés Wood, Chile, 2004) and The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (Cao Hamburger, Brazil, 2006). We will verify how, when dealing with “painful pasts”, with an object still hot, the children perspective ensnares the narrative in an aura of lost innocence and end of infant illusions through a traumatic experience. And the personal trauma becomes the metonymy (often autobiographical) of what is seen as a collective trauma.

Abordaremos o tema a partir de um recorte bastante comum adotado por alguns filmes: a estratégia discursiva de montar filmes a partir do olhar de protagonistas crianças. Para isso analisaremos os filmes recentes: “Kamchatka” (Marcelo Piñeyro, Argentina, 2002), “Machuca” (Andrés Wood, Chile, 2004) e “O ano que meus pais saíram de férias” (Cao Hamburguer, Brasil, 2006). Verificaremos como, ao lidar com “passados doloridos”, com um objeto ainda quente, o olhar infantil enreda a narrativa em uma aura de inocência perdida e de fim de ilusões infantis por meio de uma experiência traumática. E o trauma pessoal passa a ser a metonímia (muitas vezes autobiográfica) daquilo que é visto como um trauma coletivo.UFRGS2012-10-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Históricaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/2929510.22456/1983-201X.29295Anos 90; Vol. 20 No. 38 (2013): Universo normativo e relações de poder na Idade Média: doutrinas, regras, leis e resoluções de conflitos entre os século; 411-439Anos 90; v. 20 n. 38 (2013): Universo normativo e relações de poder na Idade Média: doutrinas, regras, leis e resoluções de conflitos entre os século; 411-4391983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/29295/27979Lima, Fernanda Luiza TeixeiraFernandes, Luiz Estevam de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-12T17:04:13Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/29295Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2023-01-12T17:04:13Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
