In this thesis I develop the notion of discursive instance applied to the internal migrant’s prominent role in Peruvian film. Through an analysis of film production during the eighties, I demonstrate that urban film reveals the crisis of the predominance of creole subjectivity within a cultural homogeneity. In opposition to this, it shows a heterogeneous process where the migrant referent, although part of the new urban context, belongs to a different cultural universe than that of its enunciator.
