| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to analyze the inclusion of the myth El Familiar in the TV series El Aparecido (2011) by Mariano Rosa. This series, filmed in inland Salta and with an experimental format, narrates the story of the kolla Bernabé Montellanos, a Pachamama's envoy who —personifying the image of the vigilante— comes back to life in order to face El Familiar.
El Familiar is a product of the rural folklore of the Argentine Northwest that is born with the sugar industry. From the analysis of the series' plot, the resignification and andeanization of this myth are postulated since there is an inversion of its Christian foundation, in light of a critical assessment of the colonial power structures in the Argentine Northwest, and its survival within the framework of the modern State-Nation.
Several conclusions are drawn, among them, it is worth highlighting the presence of a political dimension in El Aparecido that is in correspondence with a process of democratization and federalization of contemporary television fictions resulting from the implementation of the Law on Audiovisual Communication Services; thus, contributing to the creation of a national television identity which is more inclusive and less centralist. |
