This book studies the intimate tensions between affect and emotions
as terrains of sociopolitical significance in the cinema of
Lucrecia Martel, Albertina Carri, and Lucia Puenzo. Such tensions,
Selimovic argues, result in "affective moments" that relate to the
films' core arguments. They also signal these filmmakers' novel
insights on complex manifestations of memory, desire, and violence.
The chapters explore how the presence of pronounced-but
reticent-affect complicates emotional bonding in the everydayness
depicted in these films. By bringing out moments of affect in these
filmmakers' diegetic worlds, this book traces the ways in which
subtle foci on gender, class, race, and sexuality correlate in
these Argentine women's films.
The Feeling Child: Affect and Politics in Latin American Literature
and Film compiles a series of essays focusing on the figure of the
child within the specific context of the "affective turn" in the
study of contemporary sociocultural settings across Latin America.
This edited volume looks specifically at the intersection between
cultural constructions of childhood and the affective turn within
the contemporary sociopolitical landscape of Latin America. The
editors and contributors share a common aim in furthering
comprehension of the particular intensity of the child's affective
presence-spectatorial, haptic, silent, and spectral, among
others-in contemporary Latin American cultural expression. The
contributions herein approach this theoretical challenge through an
interdisciplinary lens which brings together two burgeoning strands
of inquiry. The first is the notion of childhood as a significant,
and inherently political, sociocultural space; the second is the
recognition that affect is integral and fundamental to gaining a
more complex understanding of the manner in which contemporary
social worlds are made. In each case, this affective presence is
teased out as a register of society, shedding light on the issues
marking out the current sociopolitical landscape-in particular the
traces of the recent past-in the regions represented. This book
brings together established international scholars and young
academics focusing on Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, and Peru.
