extra bases is held in order to offer academic and journalistic materials on contemporary audiovisual, with a particular interest in Colombian production.
"regional representations in the Colombian audiovisual" second special theme of the magazine for extra bases, measure your pulse aspires to a discussion that has a long tradition in Colombia, as a result of this being a country with marked regional differences. The special attempts to analyze why and how they are producing images in different regions of the country, what and how they were in the past, what has made this production traces the readings of the regional culture and how they are preserved and re-reading these images. We are interested in analysis of works, authors and trends, historical accounts and theoretical problems related to regional representation.
From the Constitution of 1991 was officially recognized ethnic and cultural diversity of human groups that make up the Colombian nation. The General Law on Culture, in 1997, incorporated the constitutional mandate. Since then, at the expense of the Directorate of Cinematography of the Ministry of Cultural programs are developed with a clear regional accent as Imagining Our Image-INI, at the same time the public calls for documentaries, short films and feature films seeking, not always successfully, to achieve a balance through which cultural diversity of the country, officially recognized , has its equivalent in audiovisual production. Film Act passed in 2003, despite its industrial logic that seems to favor a single center of production in line with the economies of scale, have mechanisms for dialogue with the regions through the district councils and film department, with to promote strategies that have a visual representation plural of the country. Finally, universities with their careers in visual areas, and the proliferation of regional channels and local community, give a significant boost to production.
Given the above context, it is essential to assess the current state of discussion on the dynamics of regional production and its cultural and symbolic importance for the strengthening of local and regional identities. We believe that this discussion can generate ownership and empowerment processes of production that falls directly to the regions, by virtue of referring to their values, beliefs, dreams and aspirations, and provide forms of representation, construction of historical memory, recognition, valuation of assets at risk and visibility of the problems of vulnerable communities
