Indigeneity in Latin American Cinema explores how contemporary
films (2000-2020) participate in the evolution and circulation of
images and sounds that in many ways define how indigenous
communities are imagined, at a local, regional and global scale.
The volume reviews the diversity of portrayals from a
chronological, geopolitical, linguistic, epistemic-ontological,
transnational and intersectional, paradigm-changing and
self-representational perspective, allocating one chapter to each
theme. The corpus of this study consists of 68 fictional features
directed by non-indigenous filmmakers, 31 cinematic works produced
by indigenous directors/communities, and 22 Cine Regional (Regional
Cinema) films. The book also draws upon a significant number of
engravings, drawings, paintings, photographs and films, produced
between 1493 and 2000, as primary sources for the historical review
of the visual representations of indigeneity. Through content and
close (textual) analysis, interviews with audiences, surveys and
social media posts analysis, the author looks at the contexts in
which Latin American films circulate in international festivals and
the paradigm shifts introduced by self-representational cinema and
Roma (Mexico, 2018). Conclusively, the author provides the
foundations of histrionic indigeneity, a theory that explains how
overtly histrionic proclivities play a significant role in
depictions of an imagined indigenous Other in recent films.
