Abstract

This undergraduate work aims to analyze from the cultural sociology the cinematographic phenomenon in the search to strengthen from the sociological discipline, the studies referring to the cinema as a cultural industry and the effects it has on the subjects and the social construction of reality. This research is born on the questioning of the speeches or messages that film productions can position, due to the influence that cinema has as a cultural industry. Its mass production and its consumption allow us to think about the political and economic implications of the stories that are told and the people who recreate them, that is, the directors, screenwriters and producers of this industry. From there arises the questioning about the Director and screenwriter Darío Armando García and his production, regarding the social representations that are presented in his films about the Colombian national identity. The work began with a theoretical reflection on the concepts that guide the research. In the first chapter commercial cinema as a cultural industry is problematized and some previous research on the relationship between cinema and national identity is presented, evidencing the discussion around to the theme of national identity and conceptualizing social representations as the central term for this research work.
