Representación de las masculinidades en el cine ecuatoriano de ficción año 2017

Abstract

Abstract: The present work studies and analyzes the representations of masculinities in the Ecuadorian fiction cinema in the year 2017, taking into account that this type of studies is almost null in our environment, however, they are necessary to evaluate if the representation patterns of the various masculinities preserve the traditional models or, on the contrary, reflect the new masculinities. During the year 2017, eight Ecuadorian films are put on the billboard, of which 16 main characters are analyzed with a data sheet with variables that question the representations of predominant masculinities. In addition, the analysis is complemented by two interviews with directors. The study carried out allows us to conclude that the representation of masculinities in the Ecuadorian fiction cinema of the year 2017 has had very varied themes, which represent from patriarchal masculinity to the new positive masculinities, but that it is still not a priority issue in narrative schemes. nor in the directors' speeches.
