The discussion centers particularly on \"cholos,\" persons of Indigenous inheritance who migrate to the city and must adopt the urban center's lifestyle, including language and dress code, to make it there. It explores the process of \"whitening\" that Jordi, the film's protagonist, has developed to give himself a personal image that will allow him to move up in the social strata.Resumen:Este artículo propone que la película A tus espaldas dirigida por Tito Jara subvierte el patrón tradicional latente en la narrativa ecuatoriana de mostrar a miembros de las clases menos privilegiadas como víctimas del sistema que beneficia a los que se encuentran en la cima de las estructuras de poder.

The analysis of this work is based on the theory of decoloniality developed by the modernidad/colonialidad/decolonialidad network made up of Latin American intellectuals such as Enrique Dussel, Walter Mignolo, and Ramón Grosfoguel. In sum, I demonstrate the different film strategies used by indigenista directors to decolonize cinema in Ecuador and to offer us other stories in which the Indigenous universe is portrayed as empowered.Resumen:El propósito de este trabajo estriba en dilucidar bases para explorar los elementos descoloniales que renuevan el cine indigenista ecuatoriano realizado a inicios del siglo XXI, tal como acontece en Ayawaska (2007) de Galo Urbina; Saraguro: historia con sangre Inka (2010) de José Paúl Moreira; El facilitador (2013) de Víctor Arregui; y Vengo volviendo (2015) de Gabriel Páez.

Llosa's story, with national implications, is centered on the pain of one individual, Fausta, a young Quechua woman, who believes that she has inherited the trauma of her Indigenous mother's rape. Llosa represents Fausta's personal suffering by placing the protagonist physically in the margins of the frame, a metaphorical mise-en-scène that is repeated in the barren and impoverished neighborhood where she lives on the outskirts of Lima. And yet Llosa's film is not deterministic; rather, it is a search for personal and national healing through families and communities.","PeriodicalId":191945,"journal":{"name":"Diálogo","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131125923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the few years prior to the gathering, COVID-19 had brought the world to almost a complete standstill. The need to recalibrate, to find new and more effective ways of dealing with the climate crisis, domestic and international politics, literary expression, and technology, was clearly felt by everyone. The fourteen essays deal with literary figures such as Jonathan Swift, George Moore, Colm Tóibín, Richard Murphy, Seamus Heaney, Michael O’Siadhail, Sally Rooney and Doireann Ní Ghríofa. Other issues broached are the diplomatic work carried out by Seán T. O’Kelly as Ireland’s envoy to Paris when an independent Ireland was seeking international recognition; depictions of the AIDS crisis in Irish theatre; the Neganthropocene in the French TV series Zone Blanche; new opportunities for learning through digital archives; strategies to save the rural Irish pub; innovative strategies employed by Ireland on the world stage, and the use of science to manipulate the French public’s beliefs about COVID-19. The diversity of material and approaches guarantees that New Beginnings will appeal to a large number of readers.","PeriodicalId":191945,"journal":{"name":"Diálogo","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130179186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widespread use of the term can be traced to the emergence of social movements in the late twentieth century throughout Latin America, which sought to expand exclusively class-based discussions of inequality: “Social movements protested against injustices in class, status group, and power relationships. Some proposed alternative economic, social, and political models, such as buen vivir, the solidary economy, and participatory democracy. [. . .] Organizing among indigenous peoples expanded rapidly along with the awakening of Afro-Latino, women and sexual orientation” (Silva 27–28). Indigenous communities joined in the struggle to recover the rights usurped by the colonial empire, a body that has left a lasting legacy of replacing, minimizing, and destroying autochthonous ways of life, customs, languages, and religions. The term Abiayala or Abya Yala contributes to the deliberate process of decolonization by groups attempting to recover a prominent space for nations and communities that have been hidden or erased from the national imaginary by the process of colonialization (Platt 144). Similarly, the term Sumak Kawsay has emerged in scholars’ critical conversations about inclusion in national discourse. The term translates from the Quechua as “living well” or “the good life,” or el buen vivir in Spanish. It refers to “a way of living in harmony within communities, ourselves, and most importantly, nature” (“Sumak Kawsay”). The pursuit of Sumak Kawsay has resonated among activists who defend the rights of Indigenous communities and read the concept as a way to adopt changes to improve the lives of underrepresented populations. The significance of the representation of Indigenous characters as protagonists on the silver screen can be appreciated in several recent Latin American film productions, including Ixcanul (Jayro Bustamante) and El abrazo de la serpiente (Embrace of the Serpent; Ciro Guerra), which both premiered in 2015.

Y en esa misma década, en Chicago comenzaba a asentarse una migración latinoamericana con diferente perfil. Las múltiples crisis económicas que habían golpeado a Latinoamérica propiciaron una migración que ya no solo venía de las zonas rurales sino también de las ciudades. Muchos inmigrantes llegaban a esta ciudad en vías de formación y otros ya formados, pero sin mucho éxito en su lugar de origen. Unos ya pintaban, otros escribían, otros eran músicos y otros más actores. Pero la obra que realizaba en Chicago esta nueva generación de inmigrantes seguía muy apegada a la tierra y el concreto de sus lugares de origen. La nostalgia se imponía y, en gran medida, la obra creativa era repetitiva, daba vueltas en sí misma, se quedaba varada en el limbo de la forma y la añoranza del color. El contacto con Chicago era de ojos hacia fuera; en las entrañas estaba anidada la nostalgia por el terruño. La primera obra que vi de Nicolás de Jesús también estaba revestida de dicha nostalgia; quizá todavía era una idealización de la vida campestre.

Among these works, it’s worth mentioning two collections of essays that have expanded and helped to build interest in the study of Indigenous media projects from around the world: Media Worlds (edited by Ginsburg, Abu-Lughod, and Larkin, 2002), and Global Indigenous Media (edited by Wilson and Stewart, 2008). In the Latin American context, there have also been groundbreaking research and media projects, such as the 1980s collaboration of anthropologist Terence Turner with the Kayapó community, which represents one of the first communities to use media as a tool for activism; the essay “Imperfect Media and the Poetics of Indigenous Video in Latin America” (2008) by Juan Francisco Salazar and Amalia Córdova; or Freya Schiwy’s book Indianizing Film: Decolonization, the Andes, and the Question of Technology (2009). But even though there exists an important body of work, From Filmmaker Warriors to Flash Drive Shamans: Indigenous Media Production and Engagement in Latin America is one of the first collections of essays dedicated exclusively to Indigenous media in Latin America, and is thus indispensable for approaching the Indigenous media landscape of the region. This volume is mainly composed of edited versions of papers presented at the InDigital Latin American Conference held in 2015 on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The book, edited by anthropologist Richard Pace, presents a sample of Indigenous media practices and the ways academics, activists, curators, and media makers approach them.
