- Title
LA PLANTACIÓN EN APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX. SUPERVIVENCIAS Y TRANSFORMACIONES HISTÓRICAS DE UN GÉNERO.
- Authors
González, Rayco
- Abstract
This article explores the recovery of a fundamental genre of American cultural history, "the Plantation Novel", in the sequence of Francis Ford Coppola's new cut of Apocalypse Now Redux (2001). By ironically reclaiming some of its commonplaces, Coppola succeeds in attributing new significance to the end of the Vietnam War, an event that had great significance in recent American history. Using the tools of the semiotics of culture, the analysis also aims to elaborate an analytical framework to describe the functionality that this operation of reviving genres from the past can have for the historical present.
