In this engaging book, Maria Chiara D’Argenio delineates a turn in recent Latin American filmmaking towards inter/cultural feature films made by non-Indigenous directors. Aimed at a global audience, but played by Indigenous actors, these films tell Indigenous stories in Indigenous languages. Over the last two decades, a growing number of Latin American films have screened the Indigenous experience by combining the local and the global in a way that has proved appealing at international film festivals. Locating the films in composite webs of past and present traditions and forms, Indigenous Plots in Twenty-First Century Latin American Cinema examines the critical reflection offered by recen...
Este libro busca entablar un diálogo entre diferentes investigadores que trabajan con pueblos originarios —tikuna, uitoto y muisca— y que, desde sus objetivos particulares, reflexionan acerca de las tensiones entre la naturaleza y el concepto de ambiente derivado de la modernidad. La naturaleza, desde la perspectiva de dichos pueblos, posee un carácter holístico: el ser humano es una extensión de ella, recibe y ofrece en una relación constante, integrada y equilibrada.

Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
