The Abject in Claudia Piñeiro’s El tiempo de las moscas
In Tuya (2005), Elena Sabe (2007), and Catedrales (2020), Claudia Piñeiro, one of Argentina’s best-known crime fiction writers, depicts female middle-class characters who are instigators of women’s deaths. On one hand, this writer is critical of middle-class Argentine women, while on the other she fights for women’s rights. In her narrative Piñeiro critiques strict and old-fashioned traditions while also addressing the plight of those who dare tr…
Mi sueño es cantar
The Uruguay-born actress Natalia Oreiro has participated in Argentine cinema and television since the 1990s and occupies a significant place in the River Plate popular culture. In addition, she has crossed borders and has loyal fans in countries as diverse as Russia, Israel, and the Philippines, where she is considered a star. In this article, I analyze two films in which Oreiro is the protagonist: Miss Tacuarembó (Martín Sastre, 2010) and Gilda,…

María Victoria Menis’s María y El Araña
Middle-class children and adolescents have been represented in several Argentine films of the twenty-first century. In María y El Araña [ María and Spiderman ] (2013), María Victoria Menis tackles the representation of youth who are at risk due to both their working-class backgrounds and the absence or incapacity of any parental figures. Her film also engages with the difficult topics of adolescent sexualization, sexual abuse, and physical violen…
Reflexiones teórico-metodológicas sobre el proceso investigativo con personas Mapuche en Chile
El presente artículo propone una reflexión teórico-metodológica desde la psicología social sobre los desafíos que implica el trabajo de investigación con población indígena, particularmente, con personas pertenecientes al pueblo Mapuche. Se enfatizan los desafíos éticos, teóricos y las tensiones metodológicas que emergen debido a las formas de producción de conocimiento hegemónicas de la psicología, las cuales se enmarcan dentro de lógicas poscol…

Religión, relaciones entre hermanas y preterintencionalidad en Catedrales de Claudia Piñeiro
En Catedrales, Claudia Piñeiro otorga protagonismo a los personajes femeninos y trata temas que atañen a mujeres como la maternidad, el aborto, y la hermandad a la vez que examina roles tradicionales de género dentro de la iglesia católica como una institución patriarcal. En este ensayo, me interesa proponer que la novelista argentina se centra en la dinámica familiar de la familia Sardá, para problematizar las definiciones de crimen, asesino/a, …
Brooklyn
Financed by a British-Irish-Canadian co-production, Brooklyn (John Crowley 2015) deals with twentieth-century Irish diaspora, particularly the mass emigration of unmarried Irish women in the 1950s. While Irish immigration to the United States has been ongoing since the eighteenth century, until a few decades ago the perspective of Irish women was missing in Irish and Irish-American literature and film. In the 1880–1920 period, the Bridgets, Irish…
Uruguayan Postmodern Historical Films
This paper presents the argument that recent Uruguayan films, La Redota: Una Historia de Artigas (César Charlone, 2011) and Una noche de doce años (Alvaro Brechner, 2018) are examples of postmodern history. Both films are co-productions that revisit controversial periods of Uruguayan history. Charlone’s film focuses on President Máximo Santos’ hiring of Uruguayan painter Juan Manuel Blanes (1830–1901) in the 1880s to create a portrait of ‘the fat…

The Role of Family in the Intergenerational Transmission of Collective Action
The present research demonstrates intergenerational influences on collective action participation, whereby parents’ past and current participation in collective action (descriptive family norms) shape their children’s participation in conventional and radical collective action via injunctive family norms (perception that parents value such participation). Two unique data sets were used: dyads of activist parents and their adult children (Study 1,…
Antígonas colombianas
La participación de las mujeres colombianas en el ámbito de la política data solo de las últimas décadas. Mientras recientes representaciones cinematográficas se centran en mujeres jóvenes que participaron en la guerrilla, en este artículo combino la recreación histórica de la tumultuosa época de la década del noventa en Urabá, región del norte de Colombia, con el análisis textual de la biografía parcial, Gloria Cuartas. Por qué no tiene miedo (M…

Releasing the microbes from old bones
DNA-based characterisation of microbial communities can enable those interested in bone diagenesis to address questions relating to the complexity and diversity of said microbial communities. We explored whether biases could be introduced due to differences in the DNA extraction methods used. We investigated the effect of four alternative approaches on the extraction of DNA from bone, in order to examine the resulting effect on the bacterial and …
Ibermedia y el cine uruguayo contemporáneo
Since the last decade of the twentieth century, there has been greater audiovisual collaboration between Latin American and Spanish filmmakers and producers. The year 1998 saw the creation of Ibermedia, a program that brings together Spain and Latin American countries to collectively encourage coproductions. While it is true that the participation of Spain, a country in which Ibermedia has headquarters, and the stipulation that Spanish actors be …

Debilitamiento biopolítico
In this essay, I rely on Jasbir Puar’s concept of debility to analyze the American-Colombian co-production Manos sucias (Joseph Wladyka 2014), a film that has garnered recognition both in Colombia and abroad for its nuanced representation of Afrodescendants. The film depicts two Afrocolombian brothers, Delio and Jacobo, who live in the Pacific coast of Colombia, an area that has a high concentration of Afrodescendants. Despite the constitutional …

Tell me your story about the Chilean dictatorship
The current memory struggles about the Chilean dictatorship makes it increasingly relevant to hear a diverse range of voices on the subject. One way of addressing this is to study autobiographical narratives, in which people construct a character to present themselves as the protagonists of a story by taking multiple positions regarding what is remembered. This article presents a study that analyzed the life stories of Chilean people (diverse in …
Cine colombiano en el siglo XXI. Balance de las coproducciones colombianas con Europa
This article traces the development of Colombian cinema in the twenty-first century, paying particular attention to the co-productions between Colombia and European countries in the last sixteen years. The analysis of these co-productions shows the importance of foreign funds in the production of Colombian films, particularly in the wake of the approval of Law 814 that aimed to foster Colombian film production. The article focuses on four differe…
As noivas de Satã
Durante toda Idade Média e Moderna o tema da natural inclinação feminina para os comportamentos desviantes fazia parte do programa educacional de padres e religiosos das mais variadas ordens. Os médicos também reafirmaram em seus escritos a inferioridade física e moral das mulheres, e os juristas, igualmente, deram sua contribuição para reforçar a inferioridade estrutural do sexo feminino. A produção literária e a iconografia da Renascença foram …
La représentation d’un leader populaire

Au XIXe siècle, Güemes lutta sans relâche pour libérer sa petite patrie de la domination espagnole, à la tête de son armée de gauchos.

National and Transnational Dimensions of Memory in Matar a todos and Paisito
This article investigates the national and transnational dimensions of the representation of memory in two contemporary Uruguayan films, Esteban Schroeder’s Matar a todos (Kill Them All, 2007) and Ana Diez’s Paisito (Small Country, 2008). These films revisit the traumas and after-effects of the Southern Cone dictatorships that came to power in the early and mid-1970s. As co-productions, Matar a todos and Paisito rely on the representation of pros…

Jewish Cinematic Self‐representations in Contemporary Argentine and Brazilian Films
In recent years, young Latin American‐Jewish film directors have produced films that portray the Jewish communities in both Argentina and Brazil. While Argentine‐Jewish filmmakers have been prominent since the beginning of the film industry in Argentina, it is the first time a group of contemporary directors share the depiction of Jewish life and culture. For his part, Brazilian‐Jewish director Cao Hamburger also chooses to present the Jewish com…

Reconstruyendo el pasado a través de imágenes
Los documentales Hacer patria (2006) de David Blaustein y Un pogrom en Buenos Aires (2007) de Herman Szwarcbart componen un album de imágenes visuales y testimonios orales sobre el pasado de los judíos-argentinos. Estos documentales surgieron a consecuencia del auge del documental argentino contemporáneo, la diseminación de representaciones parciales o incorrectas sobre lo judío-argentino y el interés por la memoria. Se basan en la dicotomía hist…

Men on the Move
Released in 2002, Historias mínimas (Carlos Sorín) and Lugares comunes (Adolfo Aristarain) are two Argentinean films which were well received by critics and public alike, although they are characterized by different aesthetic and technical qualities. Sorín's film mainly uses non-professional actors and was made with a low budget while the cast in Lugares comunes is transnational, as is the film's co-production status. These films depict middle-cl…

European Immigrants and the Estado Novo in Contemporary Brazilian Cinema
In addition to carnival, soccer, and samba, two long-standing myths have contributed to the unification of Brazil’s heterogeneous population. The first revolves around the idea of racial democracy, that is to say, that all races are equally considered in a democratic nation. First associated with the work of sociologist Gilberto Freyre (1900–1987), the term “racial democracy” later became a core pillar of the Brazilian state. 1 Closely related to…
Screening Minors in Latin American Cinema
Screening Minors in Latin American Cinema is the first volume to delve into the construction of children's subjectivity and agency in Latin American film, and addresses such questions as: How and to what extent do films express the point of view of the child? How do plots and film practices represent children’s subjectivity and agency? Childhood studies has demonstrated the importance of examining the lives of children. Building on those insights…
Documenting Otherness
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, there has been a veritable increase in the number of Argentine and Brazilian documentaries that focus on Jewish topics, such as Daniel Burman’s 18-J (Argentina, 2004), David Blaustein’s Hacer patria (Making Motherland; Argentina, 2006), Herman Szwarcbart’s Un pogrom en Buenos Aires (A Pogrom in Buenos Aires; Argentina, 2007), and João Batista de Andrade’s Vlado, trinta anos depois (Vlado, Thirty Years L…

A hero’s challenged masculinity
This article analyzes the paradoxical role of Argentine film star Ricardo Darín as El Pibe Corvalán in the noir film La señal (2007). Darín’s prominence is challenged by both the presence of a buddy detective, Corvalán, played by actor Diego Peretti, and a femme fatale, Gloria (Julieta Díaz). Drawing on psychoanalytical theory, I investigate Corvalán’s inscription into and/or distance from the Law-of-the-Father as a way to examine his performance…
