“…In ongoing researches and analyses (Sticchi, 2021: 249–53), I am attempting to use audiovisual culture as a mapping instrument, as a creative and operational tool by underscoring its capacity of building, constructing, and assembling new forms of life and parts of reality. In line with a long tradition of film-philosophical and non-representational theories, in fact, these elaborations consist exactly in evaluating the way in which cinematic experience operates and generates ethical and political worlds, with their own ‘agents’, to be affectively and conceptually engaged by viewers (see Deleuze, 1997: 189–98; Marks, 2000: xii–xvi, 138–9; Pisters, 2012: 30–32; Shaviro, 1993: 23–7).…”

This article aims to investigate the political and conceptual power of the successful and highly praised film Bacurau (Juliano Dornelles and Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2019) by inserting it within general trends of contemporary visual culture surrounding the issue of cinematic precarity. The discussion will find its analytical coordinates around the notions of chronotope and dialogism. These tools are notoriously attributed to Mikhail Bakhtin and are intended to investigate regular patterns in aesthetic experiences and to evaluate the differential and subversive potential to be attributed to every case study. The grounding assumption of the following analysis is to understand cinematic experience as an ecological encounter and an affective and conceptual interaction in which viewers find the opportunity to explore and experience complex ethical systems: a productive interrelation that allows us also to connect the discussion with reflections upon general dynamics of neoliberal governance and with trajectories of resistance and revolt against it.
