Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
An in-depth exploration of how traumatic memories of the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990) have shaped contemporary filmmaking ethics and aesthetics.
MoreLong description:
This book explores how the generation of filmmakers born in the aftermath of the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990) use cinema to navigate and narrate the complex legacies of their country's turbulent past.
Eva-Rosa Ferrand Verdejo examines the work of the Novï¿1⁄2simo Cine Chileno, providing close readings of key films such as Fernando Guzzoni's Carne de Perro (2013),Cristï¿1⁄2bal Leï¿1⁄2n and Joaquï¿1⁄2n Cociï¿1⁄2a's La Casa Lobo (2018), Manuela Martelli's 1976 (2022), and Pablo Larraï¿1⁄2n's El Conde (2023). She identifies a recurring trope of blurred boundaries within these films - whether between right and wrong, past and present, fiction and reality, or a blending of genre conventions, - which disorients the viewer and resists any singular understanding of the film. She argues that this disorientation pushes the audience into a more active and critical mode of spectatorship.
Drawing on psychoanalytical theory and political philosophy, she goes on to explore how the aesthetic choices within these films are reflective of an uneasy relationship to Chile's traumatic past. Labelling these the 'aesthetics of trauma', she argues that they challenge official histories and raise broader questions about memory, trauma, and ethical representation in post-dictatorial societies.
