Does the photo of a dead child and her father on the Mexico-US border, as seen on the front page of a newspaper, allow viewers to perceive the slow violence of neoliberal economies and contemporary immigration policies? Or does it merely encourage shallow cries of pity? Given today’s saturated and vertiginously paced mediascape, do feature films have any role to play in encouraging audiences to viscerally recognise the duration and weight of state repression? In order to adequately analyse the complex sensorial dynamics of audiovisual media, this essay begins by proposing a tripartite conceptual framework that recognises multiple and inter-related forms of violence, overlaid audiovisual economies, and the contemporary scopic regime. The essay then deploys this framework in a comparison of the sensorial engagements of two recent films: Desierto (Jonas Cuarón, 2015) and Ayotzinapa, el paso de la tortuga (Enrique García Meza, 2017).","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"435 - 456"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47615106","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}

And nowhere can such a memory be more effectively instilled in a population than in its schools, where the textbook gives state-approved narratives an unimpeachable authority in children’s minds. This essay traces the canonisation of a colonial, Classicised narrative portraying pre-Columbian Anahuac as the Mexican national past through its monumentalisation in state-approved textbooks until well into the twentieth century. By focusing on mythical Greco-Roman representations of the Acolhua monarch Nezahualcoyotl that emerged shortly after the Spanish Conquest and were consolidated in the early years of Independence, I contend that the projection of Mexican identity in schoolbooks rests upon a fictionalised, unifying conception of history steeped in European Classicism but used as a strategy of identification against the European. In doing so, this essay opens up a reading of history textbooks as Mexican sites of memory: sites which reflect the lost Indigenous cultures of Mexico yet simultaneously offer an ingrained European reading of those very cultures.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"545 - 567"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43713313","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 analysis focuses on visual and scientific accounts of the Cacahuamilpa Caves, a network of natural caves that became one of Mexico’s best-known natural wonders during the nineteenth century. Drawing insight from political geology, I argue that these accounts operationalise certain basic geological premises in order to naturalise racial hierarchies in a recently independent nation. In the first part I contend that Baron Gros’s visual depiction of the caves stages a stratigraphic relationship between an Indigenous substratum (possessing inert, extractable properties) and a White stratum (defined by the active, scientific extraction of underlying resources). The second part shows how the scientific accounts by Bárcena, García Cubas, and others mobilise geological knowledge with the aim of fashioning a teleological narrative in which Indigenous peoples are established as the link between past geological eras and the modern nation. Finally, the last part focuses on how these geological accounts actively exclude Indigenous understandings of the earth based on their alleged incapacity to acknowledge the geological distinction between life and nonlife.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"525 - 543"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48108349","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 virus has disorganised and exposed the intrinsic failure of the algorithms set in the past few decades to predict our movements, to anticipate, and therefore to control, life on the planet, our behavioural patterns and wishes: from how we shop to how we vote. The interpretative failure vis-à-vis the virus’s global behaviour – its universalisation in other words, that attempts an interpretation that could apply from New Zealand to Colombia, from Honduras to Singapore – summons forth two thinkers who have worked around the notion of uncertainty, thinkers who could be defined with a key word: suspicion. The photograph featured on the event poster (Figure 1) is by Lotty Rosenfeld, who had recently passed away in Santiago de Chile. The encounter also took place in memoriam of this unforgettable artist, who taught us how to cross the sign. Her crosses bear witness to an indelible act: Lotty Rosenfeld (1943–2020).","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"475 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44031531","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}
