¡Y que vivan las humanidades! Homenaje a María Luisa Ortega
María Luisa Ortega es ejemplo de lo que significa la palabra gratitud. Tanto en los textos que se recogen en este libro, como en el testimonio de María Luisa misma, es evidente que la humanista, colega y amiga nuestra transgrede la alegoría del escritor romántico alemán Von Kleist en su Teatro de marionetas: sí es posible amar sin trauma, educar sin dejar heridas y conocer sin perder la inocencia ni la alegría de todo descubrimiento primerizo. Cada uno de los ensayos recogidos aquí hablan no solamente de Juan Rulfo, Virginia Woolf, la poesía española o el dilema sobre la muerte, sino sobre la conciencia de lo que el lenguaje significa en este entramado literario, ligado a la conciencia ética del maestro que se enfrenta a un grupo de alumnos para transmitirles el amor por los libros y la importancia de la experiencia de la lectura en nuestra vida. ¡Y qué vivan las humanidades!
Housed Under Glass
Housed Under Glass is a work of denunciation, of pain, and of love. Twenty years of sexual repression culminated in an extreme case of pelvic floor dysfunction, one of the various types of female sexual disorders. The testimony gathered in these leaves carries into the wind a wounded soul, healed along with her body by the curative balm of expert hands and by the providential warmth of a ray of Sun over a world made green anew.
The Cinema of Latin America
The Cinema of Latin America is the first volume in the new 24 Frames series of studies of national and regional cinema. In taking an explicitly text-centered approach, the books in this series offer a unique way of considering the particular concerns, styles and modes of representation of numerous national cinemas around the world. This volume focuses on the vibrant practices that make up Latin American cinema, a historically important regional cinema and one that is increasingly returning to popular and academic appreciation.

The work of directors such as Luis Buñuel, Thomas Guiterrez Alea, Walter Salles, and Alfonso Arau is discussed and the collection includes in-depth studies of seminal works as such Los Olvidados, The Hour of the Furnaces, Like Water For Chocolate, Foreign Land, and Amoros Perros.
(Un)veiling Bodies
Documentary plays an essential role in the struggles over memories of Latin America's dictatorial pasts. Ever since Chile's military coup of 11 September 1973, whether inside the country or in exile, filmmakers have passionately and incessantly documented, created, and reenacted memories from this traumatic event and its aftermath. (Un)veiling Bodies analyses the rich landscape of Chilean documentary during the first two decades after the restoration of civilian rule in 1990. Ramírez-Soto proposes a trajectory that shifts from revealing the bodies of direct victims to unveiling the body of the film itself. This is a journey deeply intertwined with the country's own democratic transition. In...
The Routledge Companion to Latin American Cinema
The Routledge Companion to Latin American Cinema is the most comprehensive survey of Latin American cinemas available in a single volume. While highlighting state-of-the-field research, essays also offer readers a cohesive overview of multiple facets of filmmaking in the region, from the production system and aesthetic tendencies, to the nature of circulation and reception. The volume recognizes the recent "new cinemas" in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, and, at the same time, provides a much deeper understanding of the contemporary moment by commenting on the aesthetic trends and industrial structures in earlier periods. The collection features essays by established scholars as well as up-and-coming investigators in ways that depart from existing scholarship and suggest new directions for the field. Book jacket.
