Gabriel Mascaro’s 2015 film Boi Neon breaks with these narratives, portraying a community of itinerant vaqueiros (“cowboys”) in the contemporary Northeast whose barren landscape is shot through with neon to mark its absorption into the globalised market as the textile industry and agribusiness encroach on the arid, traditionally cattle-raising region. Combining a Deleuzian approach to the body and desire with haptic and aural film theory, this article argues that, through careful attention to the affective ways in which humans interact with others and with a particular focus on the erotic, Boi Neon dispels conventional narratives of the region, drawing attention instead to the desires and tensions of bodies in their everyday activities. As time-space compression and reduction of humans, animals, and land to their exchange value make the dualisms that oppose nature to culture, rural to urban, premodern to modern, and mythical to historical increasingly difficult to sustain, I argue, Mascaro uses the contemporary Northeast as a setting to explore lines of flight from late capitalist agro-industry’s extractivist and heteropatriarchal order.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"437 - 458"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42350284","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}

Established during the occupation of southwestern Colombia by right-wing paramilitary forces (1997–2006), Katharsis describes itself as both the “literary door to Putumayo” and a “strategy of resisting war.” While cultural studies have offered valuable insights into the acts of witnessing, mediating, and critiquing violence in Colombia, the question of resistance – a concept situated between thought and action, representation and concrete practice – remains understudied. I propose that Katharsis engages in “subterranean resistance”, or a strategy of working beneath the surface of what is visibly political to promote other ways of thinking, feeling, and living in militarised spaces. By critically engaging the relational space of territory, Katharsis constructs modes of representing and inhabiting Putumayo that diverge from the territoriality of paramilitarism. The magazine anchors subterranean resistance in a “life politics” (Lyons 2016 ) that situates human life within the more-than-human ecologies of the selva. In doing so, it links Putumayo to other geographies negatively impacted by extractivism, chemical warfare, and parastate violence across the Global South.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"371 - 397"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47901150","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 proposes that the conditions in which these documents were produced, as well as their dialogic and uneven nature, brought about narratives of the lives of the detainees that may be used as an index to understand certain aspects of these militants’ process of subjectivation. For example, the heterogeneity of their social origins and the diverse spaces about which they spoke, as a way to account for their political trajectory prior to their participation in armed militancy, and how they conceptualised both the organisation and their militancy. At the same time, it is also possible to find certain traces about the DFS agents who interrogated them: their bias against the militants, the aspects and features of the lives of the detainees that were inaudible to them. The corpus of DFS statements, as a discourse, provides a useful resource for problematising our conception of who the militants and agents of repression were, and for broadening the history of Mexico’s recent past.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"349 - 370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45565936","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}

In this city, Carvalho claimed, man would live free of Christian values such as marriage and property. A prolific architect, writer, and artist active for over two decades, Carvalho’s work has been studied in relation to Brazilian modernismo. In this sense, “A cidade do homem nu” can be understood as an avant-garde manifesto challenging traditional institutions and taboos. However, this paper reads “A cidade do homem nu” as a utopia that should be considered in dialogue with Brazilian racial dynamics. Specifically, I argue that Carvalho posits a utopian city that can be thought of along the lines of Gilberto Freyre’s controversial praise of miscegenation. First, I offer close readings of the text’s scarce but decisive racially marked references in relation to the topic of nudity. Second, I examine Carvalho’s circular diagram and its likely architectural sources, as well as actual urban reforms that were carried out in Brazil at the beginning of the twentieth century. Nudity and circles evoke and fuse different historical and cultural layers in Brazilian society that destabilise notions of linear time and the idea of miscegenation itself.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"491 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42461427","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}

Although the physical presence of these bodies and tissue was not new to the mid-nineteenth century, the evolution of the law and a rapidly shifting urban landscape made the material evidence of women’s responses to unwanted pregnancy more legible and more meaningful to Cuba’s colonial state. Yet, for police and judges, the domains of pregnancy and childbirth remained far beyond their training and expertise. They relied on an emerging professional class of physicians to produce and interpret evidence confirming criminality. However, the ongoing professionalisation of Cuban medicine, and in particular the emergence of a medical elite of foreign-educated obstetricians, created frictions within the medical community, and between physicians and judges. Each group of men articulated different – often competing – interpretations of the evidence, which served their broader professional goals and vision of Cuba’s future. Emerging out of these confrontations over the meaning of the material remains of reproductive crises were key contradictions in the prevailing understandings of the law, ones that hinged on race, class, and gender in perceptions of criminality.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"175 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1941817","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48775704","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}
