This article proposes the relationship between the concepts of chronotope, by the Russian theorist Bakhtin, and territoriality—from a decolonial perspective—to analyze Latin American audiovisual fiction, focusing on power relations. These reveal themselves discursively, among other ways, in spatio-temporal clues that, in turn, dialogue with extradiegetic social contexts. In urban representations, this article highlights the tension between public and private, while in natural environments there is a tension between nature, merged with the man represented by the native inhabitants, and civilization, represented by the colonizing white man.
