Uruguayan Post-dictatorial Documentary: Memory, Affects, and Emotions analyzes how twelve Uruguayan documentaries from the re-democratization period harness the affective potential of film to inscribe the traumatic dictatorial past (1973-1985), construct memory discourses through which to interpret it, and engage spectators. This book fills a significant gap in the study of Southern Cone documentary film. Whereas critics have predominantly focused on Argentine and Chilean post-dictatorial productions, analyses of comparable works from Uruguay remain scarce. Furthermore, it offers an original approach by foregrounding affects as a crucial element in the production of knowledge about the dictatorial past and its impact on the present.
