Este ensayo se centra en dos peliculas dirigidas por Luchino Visconti, La terra trema (1948) y Rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960) estudiadas bajo la lente de discursos sobre la Cuestion Meridional (la subyugacion del sur por el norte propia del proceso de consolidacion nacional italiana). Analizo dos cuestiones concomitantes: la configuracion de lazos de parentesco y cuerpos sociales meridionales mediante retratos fotograficos; y la relacion de estos ultimos con imagenes en movimiento y narrativa filmica . Consecuentemente en mi analisis estilistico pongo en duda afirmaciones de realismo documental en ambas peliculas consideradas paradigmas del cine neorrealista , resaltando en ellas el uso sistematico de convenciones melodramaticas . Subrayo el car acter sinestesico del melodrama, que toca al espectador mientras este mira la pantalla. Visconti sistematicamente presenta relaciones sinestesicas y emocionales entre tomas, fotos e imagenes para transmitir su propia solucion a la Cuestion Meridional. Palabras clave: Neorrealismo; Melodrama ; Luchino Visconti; La cuestion meridional; Estudios italianos Abstract This essay focuses on two films directed by Luchino Visconti, La terra trema (1948) and Rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960) under the light of Southern Question discourses–the subjugation of the South to the North inscribed in the process leading to Italian national affirmation. I address two related issues: the fabrication of southern kinship and social bodies via portraiture, and the latter’s relationship to moving images and filmic narrative. Consequently, analyzing film style I question claims of documentary realism in these films, paradigms of neorealist filmmaking, by foregrounding their systematic use of melodramatic conventions. I stress the synesthetic side to melodrama. Spectators look at the screen while in their turn are touched by its moving images. Visconti systematically presents once and again this synesthetic emotional relationship between shots, photographs, and pictures to forward his solution to the Southern Question.
