An international team of experts explores how streaming services are disrupting traditional storytelling. The rise of streaming has dramatically transformed how audiences consume media. Over the last decade, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, have begun commissioning and financing their own original movies and TV shows, changing the way and the rate at which content is produced across the globe, from Mexico City to Mumbai. Streaming Video maps this international production boom and what it means for producers, audiences, and storytellers. Through eighteen richly textured case studies, ranging from original Korean dramas on Netflix to Bl...

Workers, Neighbors, and Citizens

Workers, Neighbors, and Citizens examines the mobilization of workers and the urban poor in Mexico City from the eve of the 1910 revolution through the early 1920s, producing for the first time a nuanced illumination of groups that have long been discounted by historians. John Lear addresses a basic paradox: During one of the great social upheavals of the twentieth century, urban workers and masses had a limited military role, yet they emerged from the revolution with considerable combativeness and a new significance in the power structure. Lear identifies a significant and largely underestimated tradition of resistance and independent organization among working people that resulted in part ...

Bandits and Liberals, Rebels and Saints

In Bandits and Liberals, Rebels and Saints Alan Knight offers a distinct perspective on several overarching themes in Latin American history, spanning approximately two centuries, from 1800 to 2000. Knight’s approach is ambitious and comparative—sometimes ranging beyond Latin America and combining relevant social theory with robust empirical detail. He tries to offer answers to big questions while challenging alternative answers and approaches, including several recently fashionable ones. While the individual essays and the book as a whole are roughly chronological, the approach is essentially thematic, with chapters devoted to major contentious themes in Latin American history across two centuries: the sociopolitical roots and impact of banditry; the character and evolution of liberalism; religious conflict; the divergent historical trajectories of Peru and Mexico; the nature of informal empire and internal colonialism; and the region’s revolutionary history—viewed through the twin prisms of British perceptions and comparative global history.

Retratos públicos

  • Categories: Art

Laura Malosetti Costa se ocupa aquí del retrato como soporte de la memoria afectiva y la idealización o deformación caricaturesca de ciertos personajes públicos a lo largo del tiempo, en su doble dimensión de arte y documento. Su análisis está centrado en los retratos más perdurables de algunas figuras heroicas de la independencia latinoamericana. Examina críticamente la ausencia casi total de retratos de Juana Azurduy y la problemática fijación de su imagen; la inadecuación de los retratos de Belgrano al estereotipo masculino del guerrero revolucionario; la imagen "blanda" del traicionado Miranda, y la construcción del tópico del héroe moderno en Simón Bolívar y Artigas. Ad...
