Abstract
In this article, Latin American identity is analyzed from an anthropological and holistic perspective. Dynamic contradictions are offered as a contribution towards understanding the process of construction-deconstruction-reconfiguration of our identity, within the global historical context of its emergence and present configuration. “Who we are”, this old and always renewed human existential interrogative has nowadays a strategic pertinence for the nations in this context of aggressive, one-way globalization. Our approach is a “cinematographic” one that permits the creation of context and dialogize as to this identity. Instead of eliminating opposing elements, it relates the “Us” and the “Them”, the “local” and the “global”. What is shared emerges from these specifics without necessarily denying them
