Recent critically and commercially acclaimed Latin American films
such as XXY, Contracorriente, and Plan B create an affective and
bodily connection with viewers that elicits in them an emotive and
empathic relationship with queer identities. Referring to these
films as New Maricon Cinema, Vinodh Venkatesh argues that they
represent a distinct break from what he terms Maricon Cinema, or a
cinema that deals with sex and gender difference through an
ethically and visually disaffected position, exemplified in films
such as Fresa y chocolate, No se lo digas a nadie, and El lugar sin
limites. Covering feature films from Argentina, Chile, Cuba,
Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, the United States, and Venezuela, New
Maricon Cinema is the first study to contextualize and analyze
recent homo-/trans-/intersexed-themed cinema in Latin America
within a broader historical and aesthetic genealogy. Working with
theories of affect, circulation, and orientations, Venkatesh
examines key scenes in the work of auteurs such as Marco Berger,
Javier Fuentes-Leon, and Julia Solomonoff and in films including
Antes que anochezca and Y tu mama tambien to show how their use of
an affective poetics situates and regenerates viewers in an
ethically productive cinematic space. He further demonstrates that
New Maricon Cinema has encouraged the production of "gay friendly"
commercial films for popular audiences, which reflects wider
sociocultural changes regarding gender difference and civil rights
that are occurring in Latin America.
