description In this article, the relationships between cinema and the world, cinema and reality, cinema and truth, will be explored in the light of the “political” act of the medium, in a broad sense that puts political and politicity in tension. These relationships could not be understood without looking at the historical transformations of the cinematographic medium, without its understanding as a complex framework, an assemblage that intersects languages, contexts, practices, sensations. In cinema the visual world and the textual world collide. The imaginary and symbolic possibilities of the moving image enter into a fray with the narrative and diegetic potential of the story told. This is where the politicity acts of cinema occur, which we understand here from a dynamic acceptance, inscribed both in the experience and aesthetic evaluation of making and seeing cinema, as well as in the technological and configurative dimensions of the medium. To undertake this approach, we turn to the voice of Diego Lizarazo Arias, philosopher, researcher, creator and analyst of image and cinema, in order to recognize and explore contemporary problems around the tensions between cinema and politics. Author, among other works, of La fruición fílmica (2004), Lizarazo undertakes an aesthetic, semiotic and hermeneutical approach to the phenomenon of the “cinematographic possible”, which is explored here through an interview conducted in May 2021, in which we follow the keys to their responses, shared with the confidence of having met as colleagues from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolita (Mexico) in various forums and seminars. Likewise, in light of the dilemmas raised here, we recover some relevant examples from the Mexican documentary to underpin the elements that link cinema and politics in the contemporary context.

En el presente artículo, las relaciones entre cine y mundo, cine y realidad, cine y verdad, serán exploradas a la luz del acto “político” del medio, en un sentido amplio que pone en tensión política y politicidad. Estas relaciones no podrían entenderse sin mirar las transformaciones históricas del medio cinematográfico, sin su comprensión como un entramado complejo, un ensamblaje que intersecta lenguajes, contextos, prácticas, sensaciones. En el cine el mundo visual y el mundo textual entran en colisión. Las posibilidades imaginarias y simbólicas de la imagen en movimiento entablan una refriega con el potencial narrativo y diegético de la historia contada. Es ahí donde ocurren los actos de politicidad del cine, que entendemos desde una acepción dinámica inscrita tanto en la experiencia y valoración estética del hacer y del ver cine, como en las dimensiones tecnológica y configurativa del medio. Para emprender esta aproximación, acudimos mediante una entrevista personal a la voz de Diego Lizarazo Arias, filósofo, investigador, profesor de la UAM Xochimilco, creador y productor televisivo, analista de imagen y cine, editor y Premio Orlando Fals Borda 2005, con fin de reconocer y explorar problemáticas contemporáneas en torno a las tensiones entre cine y política. Autor, entre otras obras, de La fruición fílmica (2004), Lizarazo emprende un acercamiento estético, semiótico y hermenéutico al fenómeno del “posible cinematográfico”, que aquí se profundiza a través de una entrevista escrita respondida a distancia en mayo del 2021, y de la cual seguimos las claves de sus respuestas, compartidas con la confianza de haber coincidido como colegas de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (México) en diversos foros y seminarios. Asimismo, a la luz de los dilemas aquí planteados, recuperamos algunos ejemplos relevantes del documental mexicano para apuntalar los elementos que vinculan cine y política en el contexto contemporáneo.
