Introduction
The studies that have been carried out around Alberto De Agostini's film have always been approached from their visuality and historical contribution. However, it becomes urgent to reflect on the ways of evangelization and extermination of indigenous peoples at the time of the colonization of the southern territory and how these are completely omitted in the images recorded in the film. Tierras Magellanic focuses on a construction of imaginaries that has left marks on our recent memory and on the human being himself.
Objective
This article aims to reflect on the issue of dehumanization in the process of colonization-evangelization of Chilean Patagonia by means of the discursive analysis of the images of Alberto De Agostini's film Tierras Magellanic to determine its scope in today's society by perpetuating a colonized memory.
Method
The methodology is qualitative of the interpretive type, with an interdisciplinary approach, since the images of the film Tierras Magellanic by Alberto De Agostini are studied from its discursive qualities to determine its scope in today's society, using tools and sources from decolonial theory, philosophy, anthropology and image studies, which allows approaching the object of study from a holistic perspective.
