Addressing these two movies as neoregional films, this essay discusses how these contemporary audiovisual productions explore the disastrous environmental histories of the tropical plantation in the Caribbean and the extractive exploitation of the Peruvian-Amazon jungle, exhibiting cinematic techniques that disrupt the socially committed tradition of Latin American cinema of the 1960s centred on human communities. Deploying experimental and poetic cinematic techniques, it is argued that these movies feature small matter by foregrounding local poisonous vegetation and corporal takes of humans and animals that register landscapes in disappearance in the face of modern extractive practices. Departing from Santiago Muñoz’s and the Sarmiento brothers’ filmic productions, we discuss how the embedding of Amazonian rhythms and unruly Caribbean plants in their filmic narratives produces sites of situated hope that both reconceptualise Latin American cinema and contest the necro-political violence of the modern extractive machinery.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"591 - 612"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42430233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This corpus is composed of photographic records disseminated by independent media and in alternative publications edited by organisations of women and feminists. Starting from these records, I interrogate the analytical modalities traditionally adopted by photography criticism in Chile when approaching the relationship between “women” and photography. This reflection is oriented around the theoretical and critical work of Andrea Noble: in particular, Noble’s reading of Tina Modotti, in which she interrogates and reconsiders the modes of doing photography criticism. The article proposes that the photographic archive expands in space and through time, through the reproduction and circulation of similar or repeated images in distinct media. This expansion enables other ways of seeing and enunciating “protest” in public space at the local level. The analysis emphasises the repetitive quality of the images, and highlights the occasional presence of other photographers in the frame, as aspects that allow the spectator to appreciate and considerate how the visual expansion of the women’s movement operates in public space.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"501 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45482958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Di-Glauber transforms Di Cavalcanti’s funeral into an anthropology of images, exploring established and possible relations between art, death, and society. Its unorthodox cinematic approach deconstructs Modernismo and Di Cavalcanti’s canonisation within Brazil’s “official” and transcendental national identity. First, Di-Glauber presents an affective account of Rocha and Di Cavalcanti’s friendship, diverting the painter’s institutionalisation through an immanent prism. Then, the film deconstructs its own representational status, self-reflexively exposing itself as an audiovisual artefact and hindering its eventual utilisation as part of an essentialist Brazilian identity. Di-Glauber paradoxically draws upon avant-gardist means to question the avant-garde’s canonisation: Rocha’s anthropophagy devours Di Cavalcanti and Modernismo to reclaim the political potential of the Brazilian artistic avant-garde.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"613 - 632"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47782269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by the queer curations of Gayatri Gopinath (2018), I develop a curatorial reading of Estrada’s comics in dialogue with the work of Chicana theorist and writer Gloria E. Anzaldúa. I draw especially on Anzaldúa’s take on the Nahuatl concept of nepantla and her theory of the nepantlera, that is, those who offer strategies for tactically navigating the transitional, whether that is via their writing, healing practices, art, and/or activism. My close reading of three comics in the collection, namely “The multiverse is inside of you / You are inside of the multiverse”, “Cenote”, and “Víbora”, examines how Estrada gives form to the epistemological, affective, and embodied materiality conveyed by Anzaldúa’s nepantla. My aim is to situate the account of the human presented by Impatience within a transtemporal genealogy of Latina and women-of-colour feminist and queer thought. In keeping with this, I argue that Estrada’s collection envisions the human body as a material entity that communes with the nonhuman and the environment, and it does so by experimenting with the specificities and formal capacity of the comics medium.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"295 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46289325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The show took place at a time when the recent process of transitional justice was threatened by the election of a government hostile to it. This article argues that, even if the exhibition served as a powerful instance of symbolic reparation, its focus on the revelation of the victim – more than 550 photographs – had the opposite effect, causing what I here term a “limits epidemic”, by which the majority of the images, and therefore the victims, escaped the audience’s attention. The exhibition thus echoed a similar effect to that of other transitional justice processes, which in revealing victims end up concealing them. Three of the photos of the paramilitary horror, victims absent in all of them, nevertheless had a different effect, causing an “oscillation epidemic”. That is: a reciprocal relationship between spectator and image that elicits an exploration of testimony beyond its function as proof and of the vestiges of the paramilitary apparatus as a siege on memory.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"177 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48607544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
