Sažetak
The work adreses the issue of presentation and the status of various forms of identity in broad work of Latin American cinema. The term blurring showcases one severe strategy in the works of many important film directors (from Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Hector Babenco to Luis Puenzo and Alejandro Jodorowsky) revealing that even under the strains of military government or dictatorship, the presentation of the Other is the key interpretative tool for often encrypted language of these films. Identities are often hidden or blurred by various visual or semiotic codes which disable the audiences in correct interpretation of the films messages. Inspection of some titles (La historia official, Pixote, Santa Sangre, Yawar Mallku etc.) utilizes the basic assumption underlined in the abstract title, but by no means excludes other possibilities and synthesis in this media.
