Santiago Álvarez
En este artículo se examinan dos polos del cine documental, tal como se manifiestan en los primeros veinte años (1961-1980) de trayectoria profesional del gran realizador cubano de documentales: el “dramático”, basado en la yuxtaposición, el sonido contrapuntístico y manipulaciones flagrantes que evidencian el papel del director; y el “directo”, basado en la toma larga, el sonido sincrónico y una mínima intervención manifiesta por parte del direc…
Cine y fotografía para una cultura visual contemporánea en América Latina
El estudio de la cultura visual como campo interdisciplinar brinda diferentes marcos teóricos y metodológicos interpretativos de todas las realidades posibles. La fotografía y el cine en Latinoamérica, con un enfoque contemporáneo post 1945, ha resultado ser una potente herramienta para desencriptar los mecanismos comunicativos de la órbita hispanohablante: no solo como representaciones visuales, sino, más bien, como constituyentes significadores…
More than Vestiges Photographic Archives of Ancient Mexico
This article explores the importance of photographic archives (fototecas) in preserving the sources with which to create a national visual history and identity. It charts the arc from imperial photography of Mexico, lodged in European and U.S. archives, to the development of Mexican institutions dedicated to the preservation of the photographic patrimony. Particular attention is paid to the photography of indigenous peoples by foreigners and Mexi…

Sara Castrejón
En este artículo se presenta un análisis de la fotografía de Sara Castrejón durante la Revolución Mexicana y dentro del desarrollo de fotógrafas mexicanas. Se examina desde la fotohistoria, una vertiente de la metodología histórica en la cual las fotografías sirven de fuentes primarias.

War is hazardous for your health
Revolutionary wars have devastating and far-reaching effects on the health of the populations caught up in them. However, the deaths and injuries produced by weaponry are only part of the story, because diseases resulting from malnutrition and contaminated drinking water account for the majority of medical problems. This essay uses photographs and testimonies of participants to explore health issues during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), as w…

Historiar la fotografía
Al fin, la academia empieza a descubrir el mundo hipervisual en el que habitamos. Desgraciadamente, los espacios abiertos por los nuevos medios como la fotografía se están llenando a menudo con filtraciones de los Estudios Culturales y de la Historia del Arte. En los Estados Unidos y en Europa los dizque "teóricos" intentan legitimar sus rollos autoreferenciales sobre la cultura visual al citar efusivamente a los "B" -Barthes, Bourdieu, Baudrilla…
Las dos fridas
This essay examines the film Frida (2002) as historical cinema. It analyzes the portrayal of the artist Frida Kahlo and her relationship with the muralist Diego Rivera against several backdrops: an earlier biopic (Frida, Naturaleza Viva), the work's relation to what ‘really’ happened, the film's internal narrative logic, and the usual representation of Mexico in US cinema
As duas Fridas
Neste artigo, é feita uma análise do filme Frida (2003) dirigido por Julie Taymor e protagonizado por Salma Hayek e que tem como tema a relação amorosa entre o muralista Diego Rivera e a pintora Frida Kahlo. Não se trata absolutamente de uma biografia fílmica; enfoca apenas uma etapa da vida da pintora. De um lado, são feitas algumas comparações com o filme mexicano sobre a pintora, Frida, naturaleza viva (1983), de Paul Leduc, para contrastar as…
Mexico
This is a coffee-table book. It will be disappointing to anybody who really wants to know about the Casasolas and their famous photographic archive, although the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores found it useful as a Christmas present for diplomats and bureaucrats under the more appropriate title, Mirada y memoria: Archivo fotográfico Casasola. It is a Mexican custom for secretariats, banks, and large corporations to bestow picture books as gif…

Introducción
A few years ago, using the concept "visual culture" would probably have resulted in confusion (and consternation) rather than communication. That has changed. As Susan Buck-Morss remarked, "Visual culture, once a foreigner to the academy, has gotten its green card and is here to stay." Today, the study of modes and techniques of visual address is fundamental to thinking critically about the times in which we find ourselves, and crucial for an edu…
Sebastião Salgado's Latin America
Perhaps the best-known documentary photographer in the world, Sebastião Salgado is photojournalism's current superstar. Born in Brazil, he was educated as an economist and worked for that country's Ministry of Finance. In 1970 he became interested in photography while exiled in Paris and traveling on numerous occasions to Africa for the International Coffee Organization. He started working as a photojournalist in 1973 and eventually entered Magnu…
The new photojournalism of Mexico
This text originated as the catalogue for an exhibition mounted in the Centro de la Imagen, Mexico City, during the summer of 1996, ‘La mirada inquieta: Nuevo fotoperiodismo mexicano, 1976–1996’. Fundamental in constructing this history of the New Photojournalism of Mexico were some thirty interviews conducted with photojournalists, and the revision of some fifty portfolios from which the image selection was made. The collaboration of Ariel Arnal…

Nacho López
The importance of the seemingly insignificant, the dignity of the evidently downtrodden and the quest for an aesthetic to render their testimonies — these were the focus of Nacho López (1923–1986). His lens portrayed the daily life of the ‘underdogs’ during the 1950s in photo-essays published by the illustrated magazines Hoy, Mañana and Siempre!, the Mexican equivalents of Life and Look. Although he is littleknown outside Mexico, López is the mos…
Cuban photography
Perhaps meaning in Cuban photography has been tied to context more than is the case in other cultures. An island crossroads, Cuba was among the first Latin American nations to receive the foreign harbingers of this invention in 1840, and early daguerreotypes - as well as pictorialist portraits made by other techniques - were produced for those who could afford them. It could be argued that Cuban photography only really begins to deal with that co…

Foto Hermanos Mayo
Like the anonymous carvers of the pyramids, the unknown painters of the colonial churches, and the popular lithographers such as José Guadalupe Posada, the Hermanos Mayo are but one of the more recent expressions of that ancient Mexican tradition in which art is a product of the struggle for daily bread. However, this collective of photographers that has contributed to redefining Mexico's graphic journalism had its origin in a Spain about to expl…
