Envejecimiento, lesbianismo y heteronormatividad en la película 80 egunean

Envejecimiento, lesbianismo y heteronormatividad en la película 80 egunean

Abstract

En 2010 dos directores vascos, Jon Garano y Jose Mari Goenaga, estrenaron 80 egunean/ En 80 dias, una pelicula que plantea la relacion sentimental y sexual entre dos mujeres de setenta anos, una abiertamente lesbiana y otra heterosexual casada. El presente articulo tiene como objetivo analizar 80 egunean desde la interseccion entre genero, sexualidad y edad como aspectos entrelazados y solapados. La relacion entre las dos mujeres que forma el foco narrativo tiene lugar espacial y temporalmente en ambitos muy especificos que remiten simbolicamente, como se vera, a una exploracion profunda de la edad, la sexualidad y los papeles de genero, e incluso de la familia y de la propia identidad vasca. Asimismo, se estudiara como la nocion de identidad sexual no se presenta en su cualidad nomada como cabria esperar en una pelicula de tematica LGBT, sino como una fija. Por el contrario, la heteronormatividad y la mirada masculina entendidas como las relaciones de poder por medio de las cuales las relaciones heterosexuales se institucionalizan seran las que prevalezcan. Aunque la cinta muestra la ‘normalizacion’ de la homosexualidad en el paisaje social vasco, no establece un espacio y un tiempo ‘queer’. In 2010 two Basque directors, Jon Garano and Jose Mari Goenaga, screened 80 egunean/ For Eighty Days – a film that portrays the emotional and sexual relationship between two 70-year-old women, one openly lesbian and the other married and the mother of an adult daughter. This article analyses 80 egunean from the intersection between gender, sexuality and age as intertwined and overlapping aspects. The relationship between the two women is spatially and temporally placed in a way that refers symbolically to a deeper exploration of age, sexuality and gender – and even the concept of family and Basque identity. This paper also examines how sexual identity is presented as fixed rather than as a nomadic quality, as would be expected in a LGBT-themed film. By contrast, the heteronormativity and the male gaze understood as the hegemonic discourses through which heterosexual relationships are institutionalized will ultimately prevail. Although the film shows the ‘normalization’ of homosexuality in the Basque social landscape, the analysis reveals that it does not offer a queer space and time.
