Abstract

As a booming industry worldwide, tourism has started to affect the genre of the road movie. After a general overview of this phenomenon in Latin American cinema, the chapter attempts to chart the genre’s recent relationship with tourism through John Urry’s notion of the “tourist gaze.” Recent examples of Ecuadorian and Chilean cinema are discussed and contextualized. In T. Hermida’s Qué tan lejos (2006), the tourist gaze is criticized or “countered”; in A. Scherson’s Turistas (2006), the gaze is “blurred” and seized upon to construct a late modern notion of identity; and in A. Fuguet’s Musica campesina (2011), the tourist gaze is projected inward and then “reversed” in order to reclaim home. Attention is paid to the emergent character of the cinematic movements of which these films are part.
