The Question of Class in Contemporary Latin American Cinema
responds to the renewed interest in class within and outside
academia by examining the aesthetics and politics of class in a
representative selection of films from the contemporary cinemas of
Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. It explores the
relationship of cinematic practices to conflicting socio-political
transformations taking place in these five countries such as the
intensification of neoliberalism, the Turn-to-the-Left, and the
growth of the middle classes in the period from 2003 to 2015.
Utilizing a critical comparative method , it sheds a critical light
on the presumed depoliticization (or new, aestheticized
politicization) of contemporary Latin American cinema. The combined
textual and industrial analyses of films from strikingly different
cinemas and directors through the lenses of class allows for a
contextualization of this trend and the observation of its
limitations. Furthermore, this book distinguishes cinematic
figurations that correspond to new conceptualizations of class
introduced in social studies from figurations of class that have
yet to be conceptualized.
