Cuando las catedrales dejaron de ser blancas: Disquisiciones sobre la idea de muro en la filmografía contracultural

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The cultural paradigm shift that was taking shape at the end of the 1960s was going to oppose two different ways of understanding the idea of the wall, one inherited from modern orthodoxy and the other developed by the counterculture. This oscillation, from essence to appearance, will coincide with the crisis of the modern movement. It is in this context that the North American countercultural proposal emerges as an aesthetic reaction, which will give spaces a new sensuality, altering the idea of the limit. This article investigates the filmic iconography that was produced around the decomposition of the wall and, consequently, of space. It reflects the metamorphosis in the superficial conception of the enclosure through processes of textileization, biomorphization and dissolution.
