En su momento la película recibió el respaldo de las élites artísticas y culturales de México, fue nominada al Oscar y ganó el Globo de Oro al Mejor Documen…

Mrs. Columbo's antipolitics machine
Metrics and other forms of quantification as technologies for rendering knowledge as measurable, usually quantitative “data,” in simplified, legible, and portable ways, have become increasingly central within discussions of the economy, and these quantitative tools have equally become the subject of anthropological discussion and critique. The motivations behind and effects of numbers in the field of “responsible finance,” already a space where t…

Introduction
Ukamau antes de Ukamau? Nuevos acercamientos a la historia del cine en la Bolivia de los años sesenta
This article analyses the work carried out in promoting, historizing, producing and exhibiting cinema in early 1960s Bolivia by the group of filmmakers who would go on to establish the Ukamau Group towards the end of that decade. Firstly, it discusses the implications of the use of the term «Ukamau Group» by the filmmakers themselves and by the scholarly community as a way of historicizing and periodising a crucial episode in Bolivian film histor…
Transnational, Digital, Mexican Cinema?Fogo(Yulene Olaizola, 2012) andPlaca Madre(Bruno Varela, 2016)
Two modes of transition are much discussed in contemporary film scholarship: geopolitical/affective (national to transnational) and technological (analogue to digital). While both movements are often taken as a given in film production and academic discourses, this article reads two recent Mexico-based independent productions that both embody and interrogate the digital transnationality of contemporary Latin American cinema from the interstices o…

Mexico
This review essay evaluates two books published in 2010, the centennial year of the Mexican revolution: La luz y la guerra: el cine de la Revolución mexicana (ed. Fernando Fabio Sánchez and Gerardo García Muñoz) and Constructing the Image of the Revolution: Cinema and the Archive (Zuzana Pick). An initial reflection on the Yo México multimedia light-and-sound show, held in Mexico City's zócalo in November 2010, serves as a springboard for an anal…
Shareholder Activism and Alienation
This article opens up the category of the shareholder, who conventionally sits as a stick figure at the heart of popular explanations for why corporations ruthlessly seek to maximize profits. Following the logic that a gift may be seen as an extension of the giver's self, we take up the possibility that investment portfolios might be viewed as reflections or extensions of shareholder personhood. We examine how three shareholder activist movements…
Mission investing and the philanthropic toolbox
This article explores the growing field of mission investing among foundations in the United States, understood as a relatively new tool in the philanthropic toolbox. We define the field of mission investing and explore how a foundation's endowment assets can be leveraged to meet mission goals across social and environmental issues facing society. We also place mission investing in the broader context of socially responsible and responsible inves…

The Metamorphosis ofCine Indigen(ist)a
Since the 1960s, Colombian documentary film-maker Marta Rodríguez has seen a number of interrelated transformations in the spheres of politics, technology and film-making methodology that have affected the ways in which she makes anthropological and political documentaries with indigenous and other minority groups. Centered on a reading of her collaborative documentary video Memoria viva (1992–1993), made with a Nasa indigenous community in Colom…
Memorias de una mexicana
Memorias de un mexicano (Carmen Toscano, 1950) es un largometraje documental hecho a base de pietaje de noticieros del archivo del pionero del cine Salvador Toscano. Los primeros críticos lo celebraron como un retrato transparente y "modernizante" del pasado reciente del país, pero este artículo enfrenta tal noción. Analiza varias secuencias en detalle para examinar las implicaciones estéticas e historiográficas de la "modernización" cinematográf…

Indigenismo and the Avant-garde
Jorge Sanjinés' 1960s films Revolución and Ukamau challenge the class and ethnic hierarchies of Bolivian society by casting the proletarian and indigenous masses as revolutionary liberators. The new national imaginary they evoke is tightly bound to the experimental cinematic techniques they employ, since their rejection of rationalist, realist aesthetics signals a partial undermining of the linear time of the modern nation. Ukamau both recalls an…
