Studying the case of Latin American cinema, this book analyzes one
of the most public - and most exportable- forms of postcolonial
national culture to argue that millennial era globalization demands
entirely new frameworks for thinking about the relationship between
politics, culture, and economic policies. Concerns that
globalization would bring the downfall of national culture were
common in the 1990s as economies across the globe began
implementing neoliberal, free market policies and abolishing state
protections for culture industries. Simultaneously, new
technologies and the increased mobility of people and information
caused others to see globalization as an era of heightened
connectivity and progressive contact. Twenty-five years later, we
are now able to examine the actual impact of globalization on local
and regional cultures, especially those of postcolonial societies.
Tracing the full life-cycle of films and studying blockbusters like
City of God, Motorcycle Diaries, and Children of Men this book
argues that neoliberal globalization has created a highly
ambivalent space for cultural expression, one willing to market
against itself as long as the stories sell. The result is an
innovative and ground-breaking text suited to scholars interested
in globalization studies, Latin-American studies and film studies.
