Hay aquí 110 preguntas y respuestas surgidas de un sector preocupado por retomar la causa del maíz, su nobleza como alimento y las virtudes culturales con las que se ha desarrollado.

Redescubriendo el archivo etnográfico audiovisual

Este libro ofrece múltiples aproximaciones desde distintas disciplinas a la producción fílmica del Archivo Etnográfico Audiovisual (AEA) del Instituto Nacional Indigenista (INI). Dicho corpus de cine etnográfico fue producido entre 1978 y 1995 con el fin de documentar para la posteridad diferentes aspectos socioculturales de los pueblos indígenas de México. Los filmes del AEA reflejan una forma particular de mirar y representar la diversidad cultural, despliegan un entramado de significados, imaginarios y estereotipos en torno a los pueblos originarios de nuestro país, en una época de profundas transformaciones en México y el mundo. El AEA comprende alrededor de cincuenta películas de diferentes duraciones y mucho material fílmico sin editar, resguardado actualmente en el Acervo de Cine y Video Alfonso Muñoz del Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (INPI). Los catorce textos que conforman esta publicación buscan motivar a los lectores a conocer o redescubrir este patrimonio audiovisual, nos ofrecen pistas y claves para apreciar su enorme riqueza, que por muchos años ha pasado inadvertida y aún permanece en estado latente.

'CENSUS is a vital testament to selfless love; a psalm to commonplace miracles; and a mysterious evolving metaphor. So kind, it aches.' David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas A father and son who are census takers journey across a nameless country from the town of A to the town of Z in the wake of the father's fatal diagnosis. Knowing that his time is menacingly short, the father takes his son, who requires close and constant adult guidance, on this trip of indefinite length. Their feelings for each other are challenged and bolstered as they move in and out of a variety of homes, meeting a variety of different people. Census is about the ways in which people react to the son's condition, to the son as a person in the world. It is about discrimination and acceptance, kindness and art, education and love. It is a profoundly moving novel, glowing with wisdom and grace, roaring with a desire to change the world.
