| その他の書誌記述: | This essay examines the relationality and representation of Nicaraguans and nature through frameworks of precarity and ecocriticism. The documentary film Palabras mágicas (para romper un encantamiento) (2012) by Mercedes Moncada presents the earth as an extension of the self, firstly, as an allegory of the country, the revolution and the individual, and, secondly, through the contingency and vulnerability of the environment and Nicaragua’s people. Both Nicaraguans and nature are victims of a political system that repeats itself during the 20th and 21st centuries. Through the notions of corporality and materiality, the documentary establishes a link between the Nicaraguan subject and land through their discursivity, both as sites of inscription that are subject to relations of power, a fact that makes them both precarious. Palabras mágicas (2012) proposes that both are victims the somocismo of the 20th century and Ortega’s neosandismo of the 21st century. Finally, from the metaphorical link between Nicaragua’s environment and people, one of the results is framing the environment within a framework of precarity and vulnerability, highlighting contingency and dependency between both humans and itself. |
