Abstract
Históricamente, la lucha política ha sido a menudo retratada como un campo masculino. El espacio tradicional para las mujeres se ha ligado a los cuidados, el trabajo reproductivo y la domesticidad, lo que explica su representación estereotipada o su escasa presencia en las imágenes de protesta, vinculadas a una iconografía machista de levantamiento y violencia. Sin embargo, el estudio de una serie de documentales gallegos contemporáneos apoyados en material de archivo muestra la repetición de un gesto diferente: la mujer como barrera, enfrentándose a una carga policial. En este trabajo pretendemos definir un método que nos permita estudiar este gesto en Nación (Margarita Ledo, 2020) y Os días afogados (César Souto Vilanova y Luís Avilés Baquero, 2015) pero también el gesto invisible por el que diferentes cineastas incorporan el archivo de luchas pasadas y lo ponen de nuevo en circulación.
Historically, political struggle has often been portrayed as a male domain. The traditional space for women has been associated with care, reproduction and the household, which explains their stereotypical representation and their limited presence in images of protest that are defined by a masculine iconography of uprising and violence. However, the study of certain contemporary Galician documentaries that make use of archival material reveals the recurrence of a different gesture: the woman-as-barrier, confronting the police as they try to forcibly disperse the protestors. The aim of this study is to define a method that facilitates the analysis of this gesture in the films Nación (Margarita Ledo, 2020) and Os días afogados (César Souto Vilanova and Luís Avilés Baquero, 2015), but also of the invisible gesture of the filmmakers’ appropriation of archival footage of past struggles that brings it back into circulation.
