The Populated Solitude. The Subject Through Chilean Contemporary Cinema. [DOI:10.37785/nw.v5n1.a6]

Abstract

In a fatigued society that has the entrepreneurship imperative embedded, it seems impossible to build places and ways of resistance in which to take care of oneself. This investigation studies the prevailing presence of solitude in the contemporary individual, and how it is represented in the so called “Novísimo cine chileno” (New Chilean Cinema). Based on the analysis of three movies, we will show this disquiet subject of the late modernity, that lives between contradiction and ambivalence.
