Domestic Labor in Twenty-First Century Latin American Cinema
This volume explores the character of the domestic worker in twenty-first century Latin American cinema and analyzes how recent filmic representations of the housemaid question the marginalization of domestic servants, in particular women, by making them the center of their narratives, their families, and society. The essays in this book posit the female domestic worker as an emergent subjectivity, a complex character who problematizes and contests the hierarchical power structures within the family dynamics and new socioeconomic orders found in contemporary Latin America. Readers will find a variety of representations across the continent as well as transnational commonalities of the cinematic figure and role of the housemaid, including the negotiation of a multilayered politics of affection in the framework of prevalent paternalism, and the complex and contradictory dynamic between private and public spaces, where domestic paid labor occupies a central role in maintaining gender, class, and ethnic inequalities.
Capitán Latinoamérica
Capitán Latinoamérica is the first study to examine the unique contribution of Latin American cinema, television, and web series to the global superhero boom. Through an analysis of superhero-themed media from Mexico to Argentina, Vinodh Venkatesh argues that contemporary Latin American superheroes are a hybrid of regional tropes and figures such as the famed luchador, El Chapulín Colorado, and North American blockbuster characters from the DC and Marvel universes. These superheroes channel anxieties specific to their respective national contexts. In Chile, for example, Mirageman rehashes and works through the Pinochet dictatorship and its traumatic aftermath; in Honduras, Chinche Man con...

Remaking Home
Houses, in the Argentine and Chilean films of the early twenty-first century, provide much more than a backdrop to on-screen drama. Nor are they simply refuges from political turmoil or spaces of oppression. Remaking Home argues that domestic spaces are instead the medium through which new, fragile common identities are constructed. The varied documentary and fiction films analyzed here, which include an early work by Oscar winner Sebastián Lelio, use the domestic sphere as a laboratory in which to experiment with narrative, audiovisual techniques, and social configurations. Where previous scholarship has focused on the social fragmentation and political disillusionment visible in contemporary film, Remaking Home argues that in order to understand the political agency of contemporary cinema, it is necessary to move beyond deconstructive critical approaches to Latin American culture. In doing so, it expands the theoretical scope of studies in Latin American cinema by finding new points of contact between the cultural critique of Nelly Richard, the work of Bruno Latour, and theories of new materialism.
Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of Post-Neoliberalism
Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy provides crucial insights for assessing the post-neoliberal era in this cutting-edge volume of anti-capitalist scholarship. It maps the critical new assemblages emerging out of decades of neoliberalism to diagnose contemporary and future discontent. Working alongside other forms of inquiry into the post-neoliberal era, the volume proposes a novel combination of ethics and Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy to understand the post-neoliberal era. Contributors argue that current critiques of neoliberalism ignore the determining role of colonialism and the accelerated threat of climate breakdown. They highlight the precariousness of our planetary existence and propose ne...

Sensibilità e potere. Il cinema di Pablo Larraín
Da Fuga (2006) a Il club (2015), da Neruda (2016) a Jackie (2017), passando per Tony Manero (2008), Post mortem (2010) e NO. I giorni dell’arcobaleno (2012), il cinema di Pablo Larraín si sviluppa a partire dalle vicende storiche e politiche che hanno sconvolto il Cile nel corso del Novecento per spingersi altrove, fino al cuore degli Stati Uniti d’America. Che si racconti il golpe del 1973 o il Plebiscito del 1988, che si tratti di mettere in immagine la fuga di Pablo Neruda o le ore più drammatiche della vita di Jacqueline Kennedy, Larraín cerca prospettive inedite, punti di vista stranianti. È attratto dal potenziale trasfigurante della “fiction” piuttosto che dal “documentario”. È orientato al superamento di questa stessa opposizione verso una concezione ibrida e intermediale del racconto cinematografico. Questo libro fa i conti con il carattere peculiare della filmografia di Larraín: non tanto un cinema storico quanto una riflessione teorica sul potere. Se solo in pochi lo esercitano, tutti si trovano presi nella sua trama.
