| Descripción: | The term ‘asymmetric conflict’ describes a war-like situation in which the opponents involved do not have equal access to decisive logistic resources. The author of this article states that cultural encounters can also be of asymmetric quality: in situations of provoked or accidental (inter)cultural misunderstandings, in hierarchical situations and in cases of emergency. She further states that the movies Babel (2006) and Valley of Wolves – Iraq (2006) can be seen as cinematic adaptations of such cases putting the focus on the causality of asymmetric cultural encounters and escalation. The article deals with the major cinematic tools applied in visualizing this causality in the two films. |
