Abstract

Palomita blanca, a novel written by Enrique Lafourcade in 1971, becomes a bestseller leading to its adaptation to cinema by Raúl Ruiz in 1973. This article proposes that these two cultural products arise from an epochal context in which the narrative canons are placed in tension both in literature and in cinema. The fact that he is a writer assigned to the Generación literaria del ‘50 making a bestseller, and at the same time a filmmaker assigned to the Nuevo cine chileno making a commercial film, allows us to address the relationship with the popular, the forms and themes of both aesthetic explorations, building a social portrait of the period
