What is the child for Latin American cinema? This book aims to
answer that question, tracing the common tendencies of the
representation of the child in the cinema of Latin American
countries, and demonstrating the place of the child in the
movements, genres and styles that have defined that cinema. Deborah
Martin combines theoretical readings of the child in cinema and
culture, with discussions of the place of the child in specific
national, regional and political contexts, to develop in-depth
analyses and establish regional comparisons and trends. She pays
particular attention to the narrative and stylistic techniques at
play in the creation of the child's perspective, and to ways in
which the presence of the child precipitates experiments with film
aesthetics. Bringing together fresh readings of well-known films
with attention to a range of little-studied works, The Child in
Contemporary Latin American Cinema examines films from the recent
and contemporary period, focussing on topics such as the death of
the child in 'street child' films, the role of the child in
post-dictatorship filmmaking and the use of child characters to
challenge gender and sexual ideologies. The book also aims to place
those analyses in a historical context, tracing links with
important precursors, and paying attention to the legacy of the
child's figuring in the mid-century movements of melodrama and the
New Latin American Cinema.
