Resumen
ALJURI PIMIENTO, Juan Camilo. An analogy about time: between historiography and historiophoty, October and Koyaanisqatsi. hist.crit. [online]. 2006, n.31, pp.173-185. ISSN 0121-1617.
This article starts from the idea that temporality in film and historiography is different. While in the latter, for example, it is common to talk about events, junctures, long duration and cycles, in film more common terms are ralenti (slow-motion), condensation, acceleration and inversion. Despite this difference, the article sustains that cinematic representation reproduces, in its own language, conceptions of temporality that history uses. To demonstrate how such a translation would operate, this article, following the concept of historiophoty coined by Hayden White, analyzes the films of October by Eisenstein and Koyaanisqatsi by Reggio. With this exercise, it explores one, out of many possible ways, of using film as a source for historiographic studies.
