Then, it compares Donna Haraway’s …

  • Aporías resultantes de la remediación en Ejercicios de memoria (Paz Encina, 2016)

    Cynthia TompkinsARTICLEBulletin of Hispanic Studies2020

    Este artículo analiza la aporía resultante de la manera en que la directora paraguaya de cine Paz Encina compone el documental Ejercicios de memoria (2016), ya que los paneos iniciales de la vivienda aparentan anclar geográficamente a la familia sugiriendo lentos flujos temporales, cuando en realidad se mudaba constantemente. Además, la aporía surge del deslizamiento entre el enfoque sobre el Dr. Goiburú –símbolo de la resistencia contra la dicta…

    Teens in Latin America and the Caribbean generally face a difficult path to adulthood. Poverty and unemployment, violence, political instability, and emigration are frequently the norm in their native countries. Those from poorer families must often work as well as attend school, and opportunities for higher education and good jobs are limited. Wealthier teens, on the other hand, are sheltered from harshness and enjoy private schools, vacations a…

    Winner of the Premio Iberoamericano Book Award in 1997 (Spanish Edition) What form does the crisis of modernity take in Latin America when societies are politically demobilized and there is no revolutionary agenda in sight?

In No Ap…
