This paper analyses the relationship between text and context in the case of José Donoso’s Coronación (1957) and its two film adaptations, directed by Sergio Olhovich (Mexico, 1976) and Silvio Caiozzi (Chile, 2000), respectively. It observes the ways in which the same plotline gains relevance in different socio-economic environments and connects to different discursive settings, becoming inserted into the context of the mid-20th century modernization process in Chile, the disillusionment with the post-revolutionary state power in Mexico after 1968, and the Chilean transition to neoliberal democracy in the new millennium. After looking at the updates and modifications made in the film adaptations, the article argues that by choosing the confrontation between “masters” and “servants” as a theme, these narratives address the psychological and individual as well as the collective and social consequences of socio-historical transformations in different times and places.
