MARTINEZ EXPOSITO, Alfredo. La recuperación de la memoria LGBTIQ+ anterior al Orgullo a través del cine documental: el caso de La memoria homosexual. Anclajes [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.97-111. ISSN 1851-4669.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/anclajes-2024-2817.

The repression of sexual diversity prior to the advent of Pride is the subject of a growing number of documentary films released in the second decade of the 21st century, including Espino Diéguez’s La memoria homosexual (Homosexual Memory) (2019). An analysis of this documentary as a case study reveals that the enunciative strategies of the documentary genre are suitable for the recovery of a queer audiovisual memory capable of rescuing experiences of shame and oppression from perspectives more clearly aligned with Pride. This kind of recovery of historical memory casts a double temporality as the narrative of memorialized experiences is determined by discursive premises that belong to the present historical moment – a time in which a hegemonic democratic memory coexists with the hypernormalization of sexual diversity.

Keywords : Cultural memory; Documentary film; LGBT community; Pride; Homophobia.
