Latin American gate (from Argentine routes): San Salvador de Jujuy in broad audio-visual geographies

Abstract

What does it mean to be located in particular places, when said place is an Argentine border province, when such a location is questioned on the basis of the senses of city offered by local audio-visual narratives, and when that question seeks to analyse a cultural configuration shocked by the debate around the redistribution of the power of visualising the social order and its conflicts through televisual audio- visualisation?
The research framework of this essay addresses, the level of conflict in the social realm, expressed in the heterogeneous, historical, conflictive and contingent interpretations of the city (as a common space), by various actors in unequal conditions in order to construe in unequal conditions, in order to construe their urban experience. These senses of city, either as part of common sense or as coherent forms that fight it, are part of the cultural disputes around social relations and positions related to audio-visual region explored in this work.
