Resisting censorship and American optimism in the postwar era, film noir emerged with some specific particularities which made the genre a countercultural phenomenon in the late 1940s. The possibilities offered by these films captured the attention of Orson Welles for their display of sexual dramas as metaphors of social anxieties of the times. The renovation of the noir canon is accomplished in Welles’ first noir, The Lady from Shanghai (1947), with the intention of exploring deficient masculinities surrounding the totemic power of the femme fatale. The analysis of these masculinities points out the historic and cultural context of the Cold War, an era characterized by fear and paranoia, whose effect on masculinity ends with the decomposition of any heroic stand and the loss of any kind of patriotic faith. RESUMEN: Como resistencia a la censura y al optimismo tipico de la era de posguerra, el cine negro emergio poseyendo algunas particularidades especificas que lo transformaron en un fenomeno contracultural en la decada de los cuarenta en Estados Unidos. Las posibilidades que ofrecian estas peliculas llamaron la atencion de Orson Welles por el despliegue de dramas sexuales como metaforas de las inquietudes de la sociedad de su tiempo. Welles aborda la renovacion del canon establecido por el cine negro en su pelicula  La dama de Shanghai (1947), con la intencion de explorar varias masculinidades deficientes que giran en torno al poder totemico de la mujer fatal. El analisis de estas masculinidades apunta al contexto historicocultural de la Guerra Fria, una era caracterizada por el miedo y la paranoia, con efectos sobre la masculinidad llegando a la descomposicion de cualquier postura heroica y la perdida de toda fe patriotica.

Disabled masculinity as a metaphor of national conflict in the cold war era: Orson Welles’ the lady from Shanghai (1947).
