Abstract

This article discusses the impact of nafta on the Mexican film industry with special emphasis on the effects of neoliberal ideology, both on film audiences and its contents. It describes an industry that caters exclusively to the economic elites, blindly following the logic of economic optimization and foregoing any attempt at a cinematic project rooted in national culture. The author then analyzes Alonso Ruizpalacios’ Güeros (2014) as an interesting case study illustrating the difficulties of trying to resist neoliberalism after decades of living in a society and working inside a film industry strongly shaped by its ideology.

geros:新自由主义下的社会分裂、政治代理和墨西哥电影业*

本文讨论了北美自由贸易协定对墨西哥电影业的影响，特别强调了新自由主义意识形态对电影观众及其内容的影响。它描述了一个专门迎合经济精英的行业，盲目地遵循经济优化的逻辑，放弃任何植根于民族文化的电影项目的尝试。作者接着分析了阿朗索·鲁兹帕拉西奥斯(Alonso Ruizpalacios)的《g eros》(2014)，作为一个有趣的案例研究，说明了在一个受其意识形态强烈影响的社会中生活了几十年，并在电影行业中工作后，试图抵制新自由主义的困难。
