Modern and National? The (Non-) Exceptionalism of Colombian Architectural Identity Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (IF 0.351) Pub Date : 2023-05-09 Giaime Botti
Architecture in Latin America is cyclically underpinned by the quest to represent multiple identities: international, national, (Latin) American. During the 1930s, although modernist European architects became the reference for Latin American professionals, they were nonetheless of no help in developing national expressions of modernity. Tracing back the debate to the cultural turmoil of that decade

Zama and the Politics of Contamination: from Di Benedetto’s Novel to Martel’s Film Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (IF 0.351) Pub Date : 2023-03-31 Cristóbal Escobar Dueñas
This article examines Lucrecia Martel’s Zama (2017) and her transposition from Antonio Di Benedetto’s book (1956) of the same name. I argue that Martel’s film is able to “de-visualise” the mobility and visuality of Di Benedetto’s text by pushing his elusive images towards higher levels of cinematic abstraction. More broadly, I claim that the film Zama is exemplary of what Martel calls “contamination”

Collective Actions-Visual Guerrillas-Spectral Bodies Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (IF 0.351) Pub Date : 2023-03-21 Ana María Torres Arroyo

Passing Through the Body: Recent Exercises of Memory and Collectivity, Forty Years After the Dictatorship in Chile Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (IF 0.351) Pub Date : 2023-02-26 Mane Adaro
The military dictatorship in Chile (1973–1989) promoted an ideology of the individual body, dismantling all social and collective matrices. The various artistic expressions discussed in the following text can be seen as practices of situated memory, that link the violence of that period to the exercise of a necessary intersubjectivity between different spaces of intervention and bodies. In doing this

This article examines Glauber Rocha’s Di-Glauber as a filmic rereading and interrogation of Brazilian Modernismo and Emiliano Di Cavalcanti’s position in the Brazilian artistic tradition. Di-Glauber transforms Di Cavalcanti’s funeral into an anthropology of images, exploring established and possible relations between art, death, and society. Its unorthodox cinematic approach deconstructs Modernismo

In this article I examine María Rivera’s “Los muertos” (2010), a poem about ongoing violence in Mexico that has been included in the activist repertoire within the context of the state-led “War on Drugs”. I use an interdisciplinary approach to analyse, on the one hand, how the poem has approached this violence in the country and, on the other hand, how the poem has been taken up anew by other artists

There is a renewed momentum in twenty-first-century Argentine film to represent the 1970s in productions that, in one way or another, exhume the alliance between auteur and commercial cinemas, developed during the restoration of democracy in 1983, in order to think “differently” about the ‘70s or to recover the ‘70s of “the common people”. This essay sets out to examine the particular way political

Getting from Buenos Aires to Mexico City Without Passing Through Madrid: Latin American Publishing Topographies Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (IF 0.351) Pub Date : 2022-08-25 Peggy Levitt, Ezequiel Saferstein
Why do some literary works gain recognition only where they are written while others travel around the globe? We answer these questions through a case study of Argentina where we identify two main pathways to international recognition. The first involves a powerful, well-established route that passes through Spain to get to other parts of Latin America. A second path scales up by de-centring Spain
