'The currents', the fascinating study of a consciousness uncoupled from the rhythm of life

The article explores the concept of 'corriente de conciencia' (stream of consciousness), a literary technique popularized by authors like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, which aims to capture the inner thoughts and subjective experiences of characters. It discusses how this narrative style reflects broader philosophical and cultural shifts, particularly within postmodernism. The piece draws parallels between Woolf’s work and the film *Las corrientes*, directed by Milagros Mumenthaler, noting thematic similarities such as the presence of a lighthouse symbolizing introspection and existential reflection. The article suggests that the film echoes Woolf’s exploration of isolation and the tension between internal perception and external reality.
