Breve historia de los cineastas del Caribe colombiano
El autor ofrece una visión amplia y detallada de la evolución del cine en la región Caribe. En su viaje por la historia del cine en la región hay momentos insoslayables como la importación, en 1897, del vitascopio, o la exhibición en Ciénaga, en 1924, de Aura o las violetas. Década a década, durante más de un siglo, el autor rastrea y aporta información valiosa para comprender las audacias y los esfuerzos de quienes han tratado de encontrar un sentido y un lugar para la industria del cine en esta parte del país. El libro es un texto imprescindible, sobre todo para quienes estén interesados en conocer la lenta y segura evolución del cine en la costa Caribe de Colombia.
The Lost Cinema of Mexico
The Lost Cinema of Mexico is the first volume to challenge the dismissal of Mexican filmmaking during the 1960s through 1980s, an era long considered a low-budget departure from the artistic quality and international acclaim of the nation’s earlier Golden Age. This pivotal collection examines the critical implications of discovering, uncovering, and recovering forgotten or ignored films. This largely unexamined era of film reveals shifts in Mexican culture, economics, and societal norms as state-sponsored revolutionary nationalism faltered. During this time, movies were widely embraced by the public as a way to make sense of the rapidly changing realities and values connected to Mexico’s...
Gabriel García Márquez y el cine ¿Una buena amistad?
Tomando como idea esencial en la obra garciamarquiana las nociones del realismo mágico y del movimiento cinematográfico “neorrealismo italiano”, que circunscribe los años anteriores y posteriores al fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), el texto Gabriel García Márquez y el cine ¿Una buena amistad? intenta orientar y facilitar al lector más desprevenido hacia una diferenciación elemental y esencial entre los conceptos de filme-crónica y el filme-cuento en los guiones —o ideas— de Gabriel García Márquez. El libro compila además algunas consideraciones y criterios respecto a las novelas de García Márquez, adaptadas al celuloide, guiones de cine y televisión a lo largo de su vida como cineasta.
Gabriel García Márquez and the Cinema
This book focuses on Gabriel Garcia Marquez's relations with the world of cinema. Far from being an occasional occupation, García Márquez's film work forms an intrinsic part of his overall aesthetic and literary poetics. The book's primary aim is to present a detailed study of Garcia Márquez's wide-ranging filmography, which has never received a comprehensive, systematic analysis. Rocco argues that it should be recognised as an integral part of the author's narrative output, and brought into the mainstream of studies concerning his literary activity. The first part of the book reconstructs the trajectory of Garcia Marquez's career in cinema and his connections with the world of film. The second part looks at all the screenplays written by García Márquez on which actual films have been based. These are examined chronologically, but also analysed according to thematic and aesthetic concerns and placed in relation to the novels and short stories with which they are 'twinned' in terms of the film product.

Volviendo al Caribe
Este ensayo plantea históricos y actuales debates sobre el Caribe como región. La autora se pregunta por qué la plantación sigue siendo la explicación identitaria predominante. Asimismo, se hace el cuestionamiento de si la integración caribeña, a pesar de décadas de esfuerzos, sigue siendo una utopía. El libro también es un viaje por el Caribe insular y continental con el propósito de conocer mejor sus entrañas, sus misterios y sus realidades. Travesías realizadas de varias maneras. La primera es a través de sus libros y sus autores. De esta manera conoceremos mejor, por ejemplo, a Martinica y la obra de uno de sus grandes creadores: Eduard Glissant. Y viajes directos, personales en los cuales la autora es una observadora participante en el Caribe colombiano, de Cuba y de Haití, solo para mencionar algunos.
Violence in Colombia
Colombia has long suffered under such violence that it is now one of the most convulsed societies in the world. Far from being the result of solely the drug trade, the country's contemporary crisis stems from La Violencia (The Violence), a period of terror, political banditry and peasant unrest that plagued Colombia between the 1940s and the 1960s. The 14 essays in this collection examine La Violencia and its effects on current conditions, placing today's violence in its historical context.
La trastienda de Melquíades
La trastienda es vista como un espacio de acumulación, un taller de trabajo o el hogar del vendedor cuando no ocupa su anaquel. Un lugar heterotópico, diverso en composición, confuso en sus destinos, íntimo en su concepción e indispensable en el esfuerzo interpretativo de la realidad, definida en las ausencias y la persistencia de la memoria.De Melquíades, el sabio gitano de Cien años de soledad, conocemos su feria y el laboratorio que le regala a José Arcadio Buendía, pero nunca nadie supo qué tipo de inventos, máquinas prodigiosas y códices elocuentes aguardaban en su trastienda. El hombre que instruyó a los habitantes de Macondo, los curó de su olvido y señaló el destino d...
Global Issues in Contemporary Hispanic Women's Writing
Carolyn Tuttle led a group that interviewed 620 women maquila workers in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. The responses from this representative sample refute many of the hopeful predictions made by scholars before NAFTA and reveal instead that little has improved for maquila workers. The women's stories make it plain that free trade has created more low-paying jobs in sweatshops where workers are exploited. Families of maquila workers live in one- or two-room houses with no running water, no drainage, and no heat. The multinational companies who operate the maquilas consistently break Mexican labor laws by requiring women to work more than nine hours a day, six days a week, without medical benefits...
Violence in Colombia, 1990-2000
Violence In Colombia provides students with a deeper understanding of the crisis facing Colombia today. The book focuses on the 1990s, a decade that witnessed a strengthening of the oldest and largest guerrilla insurgency in the Americas and the emergence of a powerful paramilitary right. The decade also saw a dramatic rise in homicide, kidnapping, and human rights violations that made Colombia by far the most violent nation in the hemisphere. But the 1990s was also about negotiating peace. The decade began with negotiations between the government and some of the guerrilla groups that led to their demobilization and to the important reforms codified in the Constitution of 1991. It ended with...
The Politics of Clientelism
"In Latin America the state is the prime regulator, coordinator, and pace-setter of the entire national system, the apex of the pyramid from which patronage, wealth, power, and programs flow. The state bears responsibility for the realization of civic needs, providing goods and services to each citizen. Doing so requires the exercise and maintenance of social and political control. It is John Martz's contention that clientelism underlines the fundamental character of Latin American social and political life. As the modernizing bureaucratic state has developed in Latin America, there has been a concurrent shifting away from clientelistic relationships. Yet in one form or another, political cl...
