La narrativa biográfica como contradiscurso feminista en «The Rosa Parks Story» (2002) de Julie Dash

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

El filme biográfico en su forma más convencional ha tenido como objetivo principal venerar las vidas y obras de ilustres hombres blancos en su consagración de figuras heroicas. Al reapropiarse de este género para celebrar el activismo de Rosa Parks, Julie Dash consigue otorgarle a una mujer afroamericana la distinción de heroína monumental, un trato poco frecuente para las mujeres negras en el cine comercial. Sin embargo, Julie Dash juega con la forma y rompe los moldes al reflexionar sobre la construcción mediática de las narrativas heroicas. The Rosa Parks Story celebra la complejidad de Parks como ser humano y activista comprometida, y la sitúa en el interior del colectivo de activistas que participaron en las revueltas por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos. El resultado es un filme elegante, profundo y reflexivo que pone el foco sobre el papel influyente de Rosa Parks y sus «hermanas en la lucha» (Collier-Thomas y V.P. Franklin, 2001, p. 4) en un movimiento cimentado en poderosas alianzas que fueron más allá del reconocido boicot a los autobuses de Montgomery.
