Sumario:We seek at formulating some notions that underline the necessity for revising some assertions concerning the audiovisual production in Latin America. Images of consensus, poetics of responsibility, cronotopia (utopian and dystopian), among others, are able to reshape the narrative scheme of the cinema history. Our proposal gathers models from political and economic thought about cinema in order to unfolding at aesthetic issues. Given the lack of a position that stresses these aspects (apart from World-System Th eory), we point out, by classifi cation, the performance of fi lms made within the region under the aegis of transnational institutions. We underline that these institutions mainly tend to include in their set of arguments the ones concerning to economic and political interests instead the aesthetics ones.
