Más allá del espejo. Dispositivos de disidencia en la obra de Joaquim Jordàdocumentales que no son (solo) documentales

Zusammenfassung

This PhD. dissertation aims to study the work of Joaquim Jordà in order to identify its distinctive creative features, in an effort to define his calligraphy and determine to what extent he contributed to renovate the documentary format. First, we explore the evolution of subjectivity in his filmography. We can conclude that the director's self-inscription aimed to challenge the realistic representational project. Afterward, the use of this first narrative person was intertwined with autobiography until it became a subjectivation device for heteronormative subjects. But these devices also had another, more political purpose: to take over the word; that is, to try dismantle the hegemonic discourse and erect a counter-discourse. This leads us to examine the performativity of his cinema, analysing the capacity that some utterances have to create non-existent entities, in this case, of a discursive nature.
