Utopia and Neoliberalism in Latin American Cinema
The topic of the crisis and recovery of utopia, at both a global and regional level, stands out in these melancholic times in which the capitalist era can no longer legitimize itself as an irreplaceable form of social existence. This book reflects upon the place of utopia, moving from classic Greece to the neoliberal era, specifically as manifested in Latin America. It studies utopia as a political and literary device for paradigmatic changes. As such, it links with the literary mode of the travelogue and its supporting role in the consolidation and perpetuation of the modern/colonial discourse. The book reviews critical approaches to modernity and postmodernity as a philosophical enquiry on...
Post-Dictatorship Argentinian Cinema as a Renarration of Collective Memory
This book reflects on the role of Argentinean cinema in the construction of social memory. It observes the melancholic scene of Argentina’s first decade post-dictatorship as a context without the necessary social understanding to frame the traumatic experiences of the 1976-1983 military repression. Hence, it interprets such conditions as facilitating processes of intersubjective forgetting, fostered by sociopolitical institutions organizing the discourse of truth within a neoliberal re-democratization endeavor. The book proposes that the non-hegemonic cinema of 1985-1996 operated as a symbolic mediation with which a post-dictatorial, poetic, negotiated truth emerged within the historical process of collective memorialization of social trauma. The book draws from research on Latin American cinema and popular culture, subaltern studies, memory and trauma studies, and the notion of cultural hegemony.

La alegoría del viajero inmóvil
Since Utopia (1516) the allegory of travel has been the preferred narrative vehicle for utopic discourse, as it allowed the Eurocentric subject to search for a "better place" outside the epistemological limits of Modernity. It is at this instance that Latin America is constructed as the "other," a discursive strategy that deeply affected its ability to escape from such epistemological construct, therefore creating a crisis of self-representation - one that would function beyond and outside of this dominant paradigm. During the 20th century, the centred postcolonial Latin American subject (the intellectual, political and artistic elite) would arrive to the realization that there in fact is no...
