moreThis investigation takes as a starting point the monstrosity in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s filming, wich, through two particular scenes description’s from the movie La Danza de la Realidad (2013) propose a dialogue with the Imbunche’s net metaphor. The mentioned metaphor defines the chilean identity as it is exposed and specified according to Fidel Supelveda’s book Patrimonio, Identidad, Tradición y Creatividad (2010). This association tries to highlight Jodorowsky’s work by giving the Imbunche’s net metaphor an artistic support, a concrete example and a materiality; allowing to perceive the way in wich both elements dialogue and challange the hypothesis of a national identity. The intertwining dialogue analysis takes place in the context of fantastic cinema in a general way as well as Jodorowsky’s filomography in a particular way.
Key Words: Jodorowsky, Sepúlveda, Imbunche, Monstrosity, Identity.
