Photographing Mexico’s Ultra-Wealthy
This paper engages with the visual strategies the photographer Daniela Rossell employed in her groundbreaking book on Mexico’s ultra-wealthy: Ricas y Famosas. This essay applies photography theory in new directions to suggest explanations for the strong public backlash that this documentary narrative provoked when it was released. To that end, an analysis of the visual narrative reveals the symbols and themes within the photo essay. It also ident…
Foliard, Daniel. The Violence of Colonial Photography
Originally published in French in 2020 by La Découverte Press, Daniel Foliard’s book The Violence of Colonial Photography has been translated in English with impressive speed. The fact that publishers have not simply expected the original to generate impact before eventually translating it into other world languages speaks strongly to the relevance of this book to the scholarly world. It also underlines the support for new topics on the visual an…
I am not at all afraid of being classified as a Class B director, in fact, that would be an honor
Martín Basterretche, Film Director Martín Basterretche was born in La Plata. He started working with cinema out of passion and curiosity, and is a true self-taught director. He works in genre cinema and claims it. His films erase the egocentric "I" and emphasize the collective "we": a film is the result of teamwork, where actors, musicians, technicians, extras, co-scriptwriters, sound engineers, etc., play a leading role. Clara Kovacic in El últi…
Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma
This article reads Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma though the lens of translation. Reading the past as Cuarón’s source text, I consider three areas where the translated text (the film) displays fuzziness. These fuzzy aspects of the film are elements in which the translation of the past displays differences that reveal authorial comment and suggest readings that align with the personal rather than the universal. The three components that are scrutinized are…
Mickey, Marginality, and Mexico
Mexican photographer Mariana Yampolsky’s final photography exhibition casts aside typical visualizations of her adopted country to foreground the marginal voices that react to global forces. Yampolsky’s photographic narrative engages directly with ideas promoted in Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart’s key work on cultural imperialism: How to Read Donald Duck. This analysis of her photographic text will show how Yampolsky’s visual representations …
Mediating Marginality Through Photography
This article considers the book El niño: Children of the Streets, Mexico City, a text and image project by Swedish photographer Kent Klich and Elena Poniatowska published in New York in 1999 after a failed attempt to publish it in the Mexican capital. A comparative approach is taken as the themes of El niño’s photographic narrative are considered in the light of an earlier foreign project that confronted marginality in Mexico: Oscar Lewis’s The C…

We Have Entered a Third [Visual] Period of History”
As the area of visual studies grows within the field of Latin American Studies, one area of especially rapid expansion is Latin America photography. In this interview (July 1, 2015; Mexico City) John Mraz, a pioneer in the study of Mexican photography, not only shares the story of how he came to undertake the study of visual history, but also reveals important lessons he has learned over the course of his study and career. He offers both cautions…
Reescritura y paratextualidad en La noche de Tlatelolco
La noche del Tlatelolco (translated into English as Massacre in Mexico), by Elena Poniatowska, avoids magical realism, the dominant representational model in contemporary Latin-American Literature, when depicting the tragic events occurred in Mexico on October 1968. In addition to the composite techniques adopted by the text in order to function as a collective testimony emphasizing the undeniability of the events and struggling against denial an…

La noche de Tlatelolco ante la cuestión de su estructura de mosaico
Los textos que escribe un autor cambian al autor paulatinamente: el impacto del autor, su vision, sus ideas, sus escritos modifican tambien su lugar dentro del mundo de las letras. Elena Poniatowsk
El subalterno excepcional. Testimonio latinoamericano y representación
En este artículo se discute el carácter representacional de los sujetos subalternos que protagonizan algunos de los textos clave del testimonio latinoamericano. Se afirma, por el contrario, que la mayoría de ellos, como Juan Pérez Jolote, Jesús Sánchez, Esteban Montejo, Jesusa Palancares o Rigoberta Menchú, constituyen sujetos excepcionales en sus comunidades subalternas. Se pretende, con esa investigación, complejizar el debate sobre la posible …
