    • In one of the few articles published on El hipnotizador (HBO 2015, 2017), Ada Cristina Machado da Silveira highlights the show's cross-border nature by suggesting that the series exemplifies the feeling of unbelonging central to the migrant experience of the Latino diaspora in transnational contexts, posing that it then participates in the construction of a supposed Latino viewing community (318). For her, the symbolic nature of El hipnotizador finds in the chronotope, heteroglossia, and space-time hybridity an innovative way of approaching an imaginary pan-Latin community (322). This essay suggests that the series can also be read from the perspective of the national through a detailed reading of the signs, symbols and allegories that point to a critical reflection of Argentine history. While the co-production and bilingual nature of the fiction suggest a latinoamericanidad, a careful analysis of the repeated presence of recognizable cultural codes and the intentional aesthetic artificiality of the composition encourages an allegorical reading that calls for reflection of the ideological bases of historical milestones in the country, such as its nineteenth-century national foundation and the most recent Proceso de Reorganización Nacional of the last Argentine military dictatorship.
