Metáfora, alegoría, visibilidad y destape: aportes de la producción cartelística del argentino Hugo Penelas a la cultura visual y audiovisual

Abstract

This article analyzes a posters films selection made by Argentine visual artist Hugo Penelas during a controversial period of national history that spans the last civil-military dictatorship and the first years of the recovery of democracy. Attention is paid to the recognition and interpretation of visual and discursive strategies implemented in the analyzed pieces, the passage from a context of censorship and political-cultural restriction to one of recovery of freedom of expression is studied, and some key ideas about the communicational and cultural functioning of the posters in terms of maintaining complicities and social links with the spectators are identified.
