Abstract
[spa] Este artículo analiza la película argentina Las mil y una (2020) de Clarisa Navas desde la fenomenología queer de Sara Ahmed y la teoría cinematográfica fenomenológica, una corriente crítica que ha marcado el giro corporal en los estudios cinematográficos. A partir de estas teorías, se lee la desorientación de los personajes queer de la película como una manera alternativa de habitar el espacio, una manera «oblicua» y «desorientada» que no se adecua a un espacio que está preparado para la gente «recta». El artículo introduce el concepto de «propiocepción queer» para analizar el deambular de los cuerpos disidentes de esta película, que no logran alinearse con una posición horizontal ni con una vertical, así como la manera en la que esta desviación de la normatividad se transmite sensorial y corporalmente a les espectadores. Finalmente, se argumenta que esta película, aunque a ratos parece pertenecer a una u otra de las tendencias que Gonzalo Aguilar encontró en el Nuevo Cine Argentino, la sedentaria y la nómada, acaba por no alinearse con ninguna. De esta manera, Las mil y una expresa corporalmente una manera oblicua de estar en el mundo, que la audiencia encarna propioceptivamente en su propio cuerpo.
[eng] This article analyses the Argentine film One in a Thousand (2020), directed by Clarisa Navas, by combining Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology with film phenomenology, a critical approach influenced by the corporeal turn in Film Studies. Drawing on these theories, the article addresses the disorientation of the film’s queer characters as an alternative way of inhabiting space, an «oblique» and «disoriented» way of being in the world that resists a space configured for straight people. The concept of «queer proprioception» is introduced to interpret the wandering of these dissident bodies, which fail to align with either horizontal or vertical axes of a straight life. The concept is also used to analyse how this deviation from the straight line is conveyed aesthetically to the audience through sensory and embodied experiences. Finally, it is argued that while the film might occasionally appear to align with one or the other of the sedentary and nomadic tendencies identified by Gonzalo Aguilar in the New Argentine Cinema, it ultimately resists alignment with either. Thus, One in a T housand corporeally expresses an oblique mode of being in the world, which is eventually embodied by the audience.
