The events that culminated in the destruction of the settlement of Canudos left an indelible mark on the country’s history. Canudos’s prominence within Brazilian history can be partly explained by the fact that it is the subject of Euclides da Cunha’s Os sertões (1902), the first edition of which included three photographs taken by Flávio de Barros. De Barros’s photographs of Canudos have received less attention than Da Cunha’s book. This article explores the way in which De Barros’s images work as a visual accompaniment to Os sertões. They speak to the same positivist and evolutionist theories that were prominent at the time. While the photographs presented an official narrative of the conflict, they came to symbolize the cruelty of war and engendered sympathy for the inhabitants of Conselheiro’s settlement.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47068239","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}

I contextualize the film in post-dictatorial cinema. My close reading strays from memory studies, often privileged in studies of Southern Cone post-dictatorial cultural productions. Instead, I delve into how the film engages with the political thriller, a genre originated in North America becoming more and more practiced in Latin America. I introduce what I call the genre’s grammar of secrecy, a way of picturing secrets through prepositions of space. I focus on how this thriller spatializes languages and politics, specters, and secrets in the Paraguayan woods, to portray state-sponsored forced disappearance. Following Taussig’s “public secrets,” I theorize what I call precarious secrets, distinctive to Latin American political thrillers, showcasing other works in the genre with shared elements. Finally, I consider political implications of the representation of secrecy and specters.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44039371","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}

Despite the narrative’s Argentine setting and clear allusions to the situation of the desaparecidos, critical evaluations of the story have historically been divided about whether to classify it as fantastic or political. These differences in interpretation can primarily be seen to belong to English-language and Spanish-language criticism respectively. This article argues for the reassessment of Cortázar’s later stories through a close reading of “Segunda vez” and its licensed translations, and explores the various possible factors that have contributed to the differences in critical interpretations of the text between Latin America and the English-speaking world. It is concluded that the mode of the fantastic is employed by Cortázar to evoke his ideological concerns.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48835744","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}

This article nuances that interpretation through evaluating unknown sources and recently discovered contemporary documents. He epitomizes the tangled political liberalism in interwar Argentina: formed in liberalism, he was increasingly influenced by statism and nationalism, which are prominent in his speeches. His path was ascending and expressed the peculiar transition between Radical era democratization and the so-called infamous decade. He might also be considered a transitional figure in Argentina’s mass politics, between the Radical republic and the emergence of Peronism. Although elected by fraudulent mechanisms, in office he moved to a democratic and inclusive program with clean elections. Paradoxically, as his administration was settled, Ortiz was shocked by a health crisis. The sick President became a crucial figure for democratic and pro-ally sectors in early-1940s Argentina. His health issues also limited his democratization mission.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44105827","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}

Mexico implemented programs to provide access to ECEC to working mothers and young families. However, behind policy discourse lie very real security concerns for service users. This has been highlighted by incidents such as the 2009 death of 45 children at a daycare, an event which would severely undermine policy development. Using a governance framework, we argue that security concerns trumped other issues for users, including infrastructure and curriculum, and derailed the implementation of ECEC policies. We use an original database of 2005–2013 news reports on ECEC for two Mexican national newspapers to establish the narrative for that period. We argue that until governance and rule of law concerns are addressed, no amount of discourse and policy design will be able to succeed in this vital area.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43526026","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}
