The purpose of this article is to expound the conceptual map of the book «Image-simulacra: studies of contemporary cinema» (2010). By this, we'll realize the particular research strategy developed in contemporary cinema in Chile and, at the same time, problematize about how to think the contemporary cinema and audiovisual. For this, we'll go into some theorical problems that articulated the research and constituted the condition possibility to build the category Image-simulacra. These are: what we understood for contemporary and cinematographic fields; from what place to think about the tension between modern and contemporary cinema; and, finally, how the concept of Image-simulacra is related to another similar concepts that seek to define the contemporary of cinema.
