Abstract

This paper examines the specific processes of identity constructions in Latin American context. The aim is to investigate how contemporary fiction questions the possible processes of collective identification through the study of some images present in the filmic narrative Amélia (2000), by Ana Carolina, who enacts the tensions of the encounter between "we and the other". The theme of national identity is also approached along with the conceptions of language, space, tradition and history.
