What place do the new Argentine and Mexican cinema occupy in the horizon of the end of art? In the age of the total image, cinema continues —against the prophecies of its eclipse— as a mechanism for the constitution of collective identification. The book by Cristina Gómez Moragas realizes this through the semiotic analysis of characters that represent trajectories of exception, subjection and disjunction in empty spaces of law. In these spaces she examines the aesthetics of violence as a form of political representation through the gang that judges the corrupt (Nine queens); of the violence of an ex-soldier (El custodian); of the barbarism of the assassins (Amores perro); of the righteous revenge of an ex-convict (A red bear) and of the surplus populations in the north of Mexico (Hell).
