Abstract:

Set in present-day Buenos Aires, the film Sudor frío (2010, dir. Adrián García Bogliano) features two former agents of the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional who continue to imprison zombified abductees from the Dirty War of the 1970s and 1980s in their decrepit house of horrors, where they also capture and torture newer generations of Argentine youth who are disconnected from the historical violence of the dictatorship and are supposedly disenchanted with politics in general. Stunted in their normative development as young citizens toward traditional benchmarks like employment, home ownership, and procreation, their suspension in time can be read as zombiesque, allowing for the blurring of differences between generations. The distinct ways in which they have become frozen in time hold the potential to engender a kind of temporal critique that calls into question not only the national progress that has been made since the return to democracy, but also the prescriptive timeline that defines individual progress according to the logic of the neoliberal economy left intact since the last dictatorship.

摘要：

电影Sudorfrío设置在当今的布宜诺斯艾利斯（2010年，导演AdriánGarcíaBogliano）的前两名是国家重组组织的特工，他们继续将1970年代和1980年代肮脏战争中的僵尸绑架者关押在破烂不堪的恐怖屋子里，在那里他们还俘获并折磨了新世代的阿根廷青年与独裁统治的历史暴力脱节，并普遍对政治不满。作为年轻人，他们在规范发展上步履蹒跚，朝着就业，住房拥有和生育等传统标准迈进了一步，他们的时间停滞可以被视为僵尸，使世代之间的差异变得模糊。
