Political and aesthetic concerns at the journal Las Naves, contemporary cinema manifestos

Abstract

This paper focuses on the journal Las Naves 1, manifiestos cinematográficos contemporáneos (2013) to see the way Posmodernism, as a philosophical and aesthetic movement, affects contemporary cinema manifestos. We start from considering the manifesto as a proposal of a "big narrative"", a programmatical and political statement, a statement of principle. To assert an identity involves the construction of an ""enemy"": this can clearly be seen in the cinema manifestos from the sixties and seventies, though it cannot be seen in its contemporary counterparts."
