Abstract

The present text was centered in the kind of analysis about and towards the discoursivityof the popular, produced and broadcast by the fictional national cinema, specially since the ‘90s and forwards. Despite the previous, and more as a necessity imposed by the elected optic of analysis, it tries to trace this discourse development since the origin of the fictional cinematographic production in Chile, eventhough, we must clarify, that there is no an intent of a chronological reconstruction, rather more an intent to show how cinema discoursivity collect, in diverse contexts, global discoursivity versions about the popular and the national theme, that was expressed during the XXth century.
