          Abstract

          Resumen Este trabajo presenta un análisis de las imágenes de los kurdos, Kurdistán, y la frontera que Bahman Ghobadi construye en los filmes Turtles Can Fly (2004) y Halfmoon (2006). La investigación se enfoca en el valor del cine como medio propicio para que los kurdos como comunidad marginada produzcan sus propias representaciones. Además de abordar la relevancia del medio cinematográfico en la creación y circulación de contenidos simbólicos, este estudio busca enfatizar su capacidad para configurar estos contenidos e incidir políticamente en una problemática sociohistórica contemporánea. Se plantea que al presentar a los kurdos como víctimas de la guerra y mostrar a Kurdistán como un territorio poseedor de fronteras propias, los filmes seleccionados fungen como contra-visualidades, pues cuestionan tanto la legitimidad de las fronteras de los estados nacionales en los que fue dividido Kurdistán como las representaciones sesgadas sobre los kurdos que han elaborado agentes externos.

          Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the images of the Kurds, Kurdistan, and the border crafted by Bahman Ghobadi in the films Turtles Can Fly (2004) and Halfmoon (2006). The research focuses on the value of cinema as a favorable medium for Kurds to produce their own representations as a marginalized community. In addition to addressing the relevance of the cinematic medium in the creation and circulation of symbolic content, this study seeks to emphasize its ability to shape this content and politically influence a contemporary socio-historical issue. It is proposed that by presenting the Kurds as victims of war and showing Kurdistan as a territory with its own borders, the selected films act as counter-visuals, as they question both the legitimacy of the borders of the nation-states into which Kurdistan was divided and the biased representations of the Kurds that have been made by external agents.
