Although generally marketed as disinterested and scientific sources of information, blue chip nature documentaries actively participate in both the maintenance and subversion of the nature-culture dichotomy. Using the award-winning BBC mega series Planet Earth (2006) as its example, the following article illustrates how non-human animals are presented as other to humans, but also argues that the degree and mechanisms used vary depending on the familiarity of both the species and habitat in question. In keeping with current ecofeminist theories, particular attention is also paid to scenes where the hierarchy reveals traces of its own production, which are revealed by a close reading of some sequences from three different episodes of the series. These traces allow a perceptive audience to question the othering of the non-human. One particularly potent problematisation of these narratives occurs whenever the series appeals to the audience’s emotional engagement, since such an emotional appeal also weakens the documentary’s overt claim to disinterested objectivity. Thus, on a metalevel, the article also furthers research into how documentaries can function as emotional machines. Resumen Aunque los documentales punteros sobre la naturaleza generalmente se anuncian como fuentes de informacion cientifica imparcial, tambien participan activamente en el mantenimiento y la subversion de la dicotomia entre la naturaleza y la cultura. Usando como ejemplo la premiada mega serie de la BBC Planet Earth (2006), este articulo ilustra como los animales no-humanos se presentan como el otro , pero tambien sostiene que el grado y los mecanismos que se usan varian dependiendo de la familiaridad de ambas especies y el habitat correspondiente. Con arreglo a las teorias ecofeministas actuales, se presta especial atencion a las escenas en que la jerarquia revela los signos de su propia produccion, que se revelan con un analisis escrupuloso de algunas secuencias de tres episodios diferentes de la serie. Estos signos permiten a una audiencia atenta cuestionar la otredad del no-humano. Una problematizacion especialmente potente de estas narrativas tiene lugar cuando la serie apela al compromiso emocional, ya que esto tambien debilita la pretension de objetividad desinteresada. Por ello, en un metanivel, el articulo promueve la investigacion sobre como los documentales pueden funcionar como maquinas emocionales. Normal 0 21 false false false ES X-NONE X-NONE
