Abstract
PANICO, Mario. Post-memory, translation and the montage of memory. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2020, n.44, pp.29-49. Epub Feb 05, 2021. ISSN 2594-0619.
The aim of this article is to demonstrate how post-memory, that is, the process of generational transmission of memory, is closely linked to the concepts of translation and re-writing. To confirm this argumentation, the author analyses the documentary El silencio es un cuerpo que cae (2017), written and directed by the Argentinian filmmaker Agustina Comedi. The movie, an example of found footage, using amateur home movies of her family, intertwines private and collective memories with reflections on the new, possible and different modalities to transmit the memory of homosexuality across generations.
Keywords : postmemory; home movies; translation.
