Description

Product Description Historically, cinema in the Americas has been signed by a state of precariousness. Notwithstanding the growing accessibility to video and digital technologies, access to the material means of film production is still limited, affecting the spheres of production, distribution, and reception. Equally, questions about the precarious can be traced in cultural and archival policies, film legislations, as well as in thematic and aesthetic choices. While conventional definitions of the precarious have been associated with notions of scarcity and insecurity, this volume looks at precariousness from a non-monolithic angle, exploring its productivity and potential for original, critical approaches, with the aim of providing new readings to the variedly rich and complex cinemas of the Americas. Review “This volume comprises leading film scholars based across the world and the editors have done an excellent job in shaping the work such that it can be read as individual studies and as a developing, interlocking, series of illuminations.” (John King, Emeritus Professor of Latin American Cultural History, University of Warwick, UK) “Covering a broad array of periods––from early cinema to the New New Argentine Cinema––as well as exhaustive examination of the impact of neoliberalism in a globalized era, this collection of essays by leading critics in the field is a must read.” (Cynthia Tompkins, author of Affectual Erasure: Representations of Indigenous Peoples in Argentine Cinema) About the Author Constanza Burucúa is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, where she teaches different courses on film. She is author of Confronting the 'Dirty War' in Argentine Cinema, 1983–1993. Her research focuses on Latin American cinemas, history, gender, and identity. She is committed to the production of documentary films. Carolina Sitnisky is Lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Southern California, USA. Her research focuses on connections between cultural politics and historical readings in twentieth and twenty-first century Latin American cinema and literature. She is co-editor with Gabriela Copertari of the volume El estado de las cosas: cine latinoamericano del nuevo mileno.
