Los amores contrariados. García Márquez y el cine
Nos desvela la particular relación de García Márquez con el audiovisual, que de crítico de cine, en sus años mozos, se convierte en guionista en México antes de escribir Cien años de soledad. La autora conduce cada recuento de la obra adaptada como si se tratase de una relación amorosa que se inicia con los primeros escarceos –las motivaciones de los realizadores–, pasando por el clímax creativo y las peripecias del rodaje hasta llegar al desenlace final: el encuentro del escritor con la obra definitiva convertida en otra cosa por la magia del cine.

Exploring tendencies and possibilities for the future of the audiovisual arts within the context of recent changes in methods of production and circulation, the aut...
Growing up in Latin America
Growing up in Latin America contributes to the growing body of scholarship on the representation of children and minors in contemporary Latin American literature and film. This volume looks closely at the question of agency and the role of minors as active participants in the complex historical processes of the Latin American continent during the 20th and 21st centuries, both as national citizens and as transnational migrants. Questions of gender, migration, violence, post-coloniality, and precarity are central to the analysis of childhood and youth narratives in this collection of essays.
