This text sets out to analyse heterotopic experiences in Argentine cinema and art evoking the figure of Camila O’Gorman, based on Michel Foucault’s theorizations on the concept of heterotopia. To undertake this analysis, we turn to two of his texts: (i) “The utopian body” ([1966]2006) and (ii) “Of other spaces” ([1984]1986) in which Foucault presents and discusses the concept of heterotopia. As the corpus to be studied here, we have selected the movie Camila (1984) by the Argentine director Maria Luisa Bemberg and the collage by the Argentinean writer and artist Enrique Molina, used to illustrate the cover of his novel Una sombra donde sueña Camila O’Gorman (1994). The works chosen are discursive materialities revolving around Camila O’Gorman, a young woman transformed into an Argentine historical myth after being tragically killed in the nineteenth century.
