description In the late sixties, two crucial texts come out in France: “What Is an Author?” (Foucault) and “The Death of the Author” (Barthes). In both essays the classical notion of authorship is put into question. At the same time, Jean-Luc Godard –who had already broken away from the Nouvelle Vague and had founded the Dziga Vertov Group– explores the possibilities of cinema understood as an apparatus for collective communication beyond the margins of the category of auteur imposed by the Cahiers du cinéma in the 50s. In Argentina, 1969 is the year of The Players vs. Ángeles caídos, Alberto Fischerman’s first feature film that very quickly becomes a landmark for the underground movement. The film confronts with The Hour of the Furnaces (1968, Fernando Solanas) that is clandestinely shown and that strongly criticizes the apolitical avant-garde. These two films represent different ways of conceiving the relationship between art and politics, but also different ways of analyzing the transformations undergone by the film auteur category. The goal of this essay is to interrogate the various changes experienced by the notion of authorship by the end of a decade characterized for the questioning of all certainties.
