| description | The cinema that cultivates violence has adopted nowadays new forms, getting to dreadful
extremes as can be seen in Mexican cinema. Quemada-Díez in his mix film genre La jaula de
oro, offers a specific representation of a multi faceted violence, based on real migrants’ cases confronted to disasters of social and collective order with individual consequences, as the porosity of borderlines, criminal bands, betrayals, kidnappings, rapes. Victims of an initial symbolic violence (Bourdieu), they risk their own life to obtain what the State doesn’t provide them. We have analyzed how step by step the long initiatory odyssey of some four young migrants from Guatemala and Mexico towards the North, their “American Dream”, their golden dream, turns
into a genuine nightmare because of so much violence. |

Quemada-Díez in his mix film genre La jaula de oro, offers a specific representation of a multi faceted violence, based on real migrants’ cases confronted to disasters of social and collective order with individual consequences, as the porosity of borderlines, criminal bands, betrayals, kidnappings, rapes.

El cine que cultiva la violencia ha adoptado hoy día nuevas formas, llegando a unos extremos atroces como se puede observar en el cine mexicano. Quemada-Díez en su película de género híbrido La jaula de oro, ofrece una representación peculiar de una violencia polifacética basándose en múltiples casos reales de migrantes confrontados a catástrofes de orden social y colectivo con repercusiones individuales, sea la porosidad de las fronteras, bandas criminales, traiciones, secuestros, violaciones. Víctimas de una violencia simbólica inicial (Bourdieu) arriesgan su vida para conseguir lo que el Estado no les proporciona. Hemos analizado como etapa tras etapa la larga Odisea iniciática de unos cuatro jóvenes migrantes guatemaltecos y mexicanos hacia el Norte, su “American Dream”, su sueño dorado, se convierte en una auténtica pesadilla por tanta violencia. 2017-12-25 2022-03-22T14:36:07Z 2022-03-22T14:36:07Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/45754 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/78482 spa eng https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/45754/50461 https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/45754/51490 Derechos de autor 2017 Comunicación y Medios application/pdf application/pdf Universidad de Chile.
