ABAN, Ana Gabriela. AFFECTIVITY AND LYRICISM IN NOSILATIAJ, BEAUTY BY DANIELA SEGGIARO: AN APPROACH TO THE REPRESENTATION OF THE WICHÍ PEOPLE. Folia [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.195-218. ISSN 0325-8238.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0415163.

This work discusses the manner in which the Wichí people is represented in the film Nosilatiaj, Beauty (2012) by Daniela Seggiaro. Within the framework of a film proposal that explores a lyrical-affective dimension, the objective is to analyze this dimension as a way of approaching the cultural and symbolic universe of the Wichí community based on the contributions by Didi-Huberman, and theoretical speculations about the so-called “affective turn”. The issues regarding the representation of the people are also related to a decolonial approach and subaltern studies.

Thus, an approach to Nosilatiaj, Beauty, as a predominance of the sensorial, is proposed. In such approach, the intensities of a complex social fabric are correlated with the affective experience of the filmmaker, by means of a film editing that favors the sensorial and the beauty of a community subjugated to conditions hindering its subsistence. The film tests film forms that make evident the symbolic universe of the Wichí community from the work of the singular body of the lead character, and through sensory visual elements that allow to evoke the primary bonds with the culture of origin.

Keywords : Affectivity; Lyricism; Representation; Wichí Community.
