The Colombian Gothic in Cinema and Literature delves into the captivating evolution of the Gothic genre in Colombia, shedding light on the aesthetic and political metamorphosis it has undergone. Gabriel Eljaiek-Rodríguez takes us on a journey, showcasing how Colombian writers and filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of the Gothic tropes to vividly mirror the unique challenges faced by the country. Since the 1950s, Colombia has grappled with an ongoing armed conflict, marked by the escalation of violence by various left-wing guerillas, government factions, and paramilitary groups. In this complex context, collectives like the "Cali group" emerge as disruptors, questioning the dominance of US and European Gothics and challenging the Bogota-centric narratives of Colombian politics and conflict.
Through their creative works, these writers and filmmakers unveil the genealogical connections between colonization, imperialism, and the perpetuation of social inequalities by domestic elites. They skillfully transform the European and American Gothic narratives, unveiling hidden layers of historical significance and shedding light on the ongoing struggles of the Colombian people.
The Colombian Gothic in Cinema and Literature serves as a testament to the power of art to challenge societal norms, provoke thought, and shed light on the complex realities of a nation. It encourages us to explore the depths of the Gothic genre and its potential to inspire social change, as Colombia continues to navigate the treacherous path of conflict and transformation.
