Miradas que se cruzan
A partir de la reconceptualización de los modos de representación fílmica derivada de los estudios culturales, y a la cual se denomina "giro espacial", Maximiliano Maza Pérez plantea y responde a preguntas del tipo: ¿Cómo denominar a la nueva cinematografía fronteriza? ¿Cuáles son sus características? ¿De qué manera se representan los elementos que constituyen el cine fronterizo contemporáneo en las recientes producciones fílmicas sobre la frontera méxico-estadounidense? Para ello, explora y caracteriza los modos de representación fílmica de los espacios rurales y urbanos de la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos, en un conjunto de películas con temática y ubicación geográfica fronterizas producidas en años recientes; y, a partir de la caracterización de los modos de representación fílmica de dicha región, analiza los elementos que constituyen esta nueva cinematografía, en particular aquellos de carácter espacial y geográfico que contribuyen a que el concepto contemporáneo de frontera trascienda el ámbito de lo tangible para insertarse en la esfera de lo simbólico.
Violence, Conflict and Discourse in Mexican Cinema (2002-2015)
The last two decades have seen dramatic changes to Mexico’s socio-political landscape. A former president fleeing into exile, political assassinations, a rebellion in Chiapas, and the eruption of the so-called war on drugs provide key examples of critical events shaping the nation. This book examines Mexican cinema’s representations of, and responses to, these socio-political moments. Beginning with the definitive year 1994, which saw the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) declare war on the Mexican government, the early chapters in this book discuss the outcome of these episodes in subsequent years and how they find screen representation. The study then moves on to provi...
A la sombra de los caudillos. El presidencialismo en el cine mexicano
A la sombra de los caudillos. Cine y presidencialismo en México. ofrece al lector agudas miradas al pasado sobre la relación de amor y odio entre dos emparentadas tradiciones: la cinematográfica y la del presidencialismo moderno. Más de una decena de analistas recorren los sexenios y su aparato de producción de imágenes, desde el momento en que nace la industria del cine mexicano y el poder político se institucionaliza en el periodo de Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940), hasta que el presidencialismo termina como una sombra endeble proyectada en la figura de Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018). En el fondo, se trata de una contribución a la historia del cine y, en alguna medida, a la historia del presidencialismo mexicano, que deberá continuarse al final de los sexenios venideros.

Adapting Gender
Adapting Gender offers a cogent introduction to Mexico's film industry, the history of women's filmmaking in Mexico, a new approach to adaptation as a potential feminist strategy, and a cultural history of generational changes in Mexico. Ilana Dann Luna examines how adapted films have the potential to subvert not only the intentions of the source text, but how they can also interrupt the hegemony of gender stereotypes in a broader socio-political context. Luna follows the industrial shifts that began with Salinas de Gortari's presidency, which made the long 1990s the precise moment in which subversive filmmakers, particularly women, were able to participate more fully in the industry and por...
Imagining the Mexican Revolution
“Mexico’s 1910 Revolution engendered a vast range of responses: from novels and autobiographies to political cartoons, feature films and placards. In the light of the centennial commemorations, contributors to this original collection evaluate the cultural legacy of this landmark event in a series of engaging essays. Imagining the Mexican Revolution is a rich resource for those interested in ways in which literary and visual culture mediate our understandings of this complex historical phenomenon.” – Professor Andrea Noble, Durham University “This collection of essays by leading and emerging Mexicanists is a distinct and welcome contribution that enhances public and academic under...

The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas
This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplina...
The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas
Exploring the culture and media of the Americas, this handbook places particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences and focuses on the transnational or hemispheric dimensions of cultural flows and geocultural imaginaries that shape the literature, arts, media and other cultural expressions in the Americas. The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas charts the pervasive, asymmetrical flows of cultural products and capital and their importance in the development of the Americas. The volume offers a comprehensive understanding of how inter-American communication is constituted, framed and structured, and covers the artistic and political dimensions that have...
