Documentar para la construcción de una identidad nacional Gómez Gauna, Laura Film Theater Cocoliche cinematographic heritage audiovisual preservation The National Pericon Pericón Nacional preservación audiovisual cine teatro Cocoliche patrimonio cinematográfico Pericón Nacional In this article we will analyze the content of one of the few documents from the first half of the 20th century in nitrate support that are preserved in Argentina: the silent film Pericón Nacional. We are located at the beginning of the history of Argentine cinema and of the available cinematographic technologies. This is a singular case study, since it allows for an interpretation of primary and secondary documentary sources, something unusual amongst the studies of this period, which is characterized by an enormous loss due to the fragility that affects the support, the content and the interpretation. We aim to approach this document within the framework of memory construction and national identity, considering the context of identity crisis in Argentina at the time, as a consequence of the great immigration, mostly of Italian and Spanish origin, and thus thinking of the film as an instrument of expansion and diffusion of political and cultural ideas. En este artículo analizaremos el contenido de uno de los pocos documentos de la primera mitad del siglo XX en soporte nitrato que se conservan en Argentina: el filme silente Pericón Nacional. Nos ubicamos en los comienzos de la historia del cine argentino y de las tecnologías cinematográficas con que se contaban a principios del siglo XX. Se trata de un caso de estudio que contempla una aproximación a la interpretación de las fuentes documentales primarias y secundarias, algo inusual para la investigación de este período, caracterizado por una enorme pérdida debido a la fragilidad que atraviesa el soporte, el contenido y la interpretación. Nos proponemos abordar este documento desde la óptica de la construcción de la memoria y la identidad nacional, considerando el contexto de crisis identitaria que atravesaba Argentina en esa época como consecuencia de la gran inmigración, mayoritariamente de composición italiana y española, y pensando el film como un instrumento de expansión y difusión de ideas políticas y culturales.
