Cosmopolitan Film Cultures in Latin America examines how cinema
forged cultural connections between Latin American publics and
film-exporting nations in the first half of the twentieth century.
Predating today's transnational media industries by several
decades, these connections were defined by active economic and
cultural exchanges, as well as longstanding inequalities in
political power and cultural capital. The essays explore the
arrival and expansion of cinema throughout the region, from the
first screenings of the Lumiere Cinematographe in 1896 to the
emergence of new forms of cinephilia and cult spectatorship in the
1940s and beyond. Examining these transnational exchanges through
the lens of the cosmopolitan, which emphasizes the ethical and
political dimensions of cultural consumption, illuminates the role
played by moving images in negotiating between the local, national,
and global, and between the popular and the elite in
twentieth-century Latin America. In addition, primary historical
documents provide vivid accounts of Latin American film critics,
movie audiences, and film industry workers' experiences with moving
images produced elsewhere, encounters that were deeply rooted in
the local context, yet also opened out onto global horizons.
