{"product_id":"remaking-home-paul-merchant-9780822946908","title":"Remaking Home: Domestic Spaces in Argentine and Chilean Film, 2005-2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eHouses, in the Argentine and Chilean films of the early twenty-first century, provide much more than a backdrop to on-screen drama. Nor are they simply refuges from political turmoil or spaces of oppression. \u003ci\u003eRemaking Home\u003c\/i\u003e argues that domestic spaces are instead the medium through which new, fragile common identities are constructed. The varied documentary and fiction films analyzed here, which include an early work by Oscar winner Sebasti n Lelio, use the domestic sphere as a laboratory in which to experiment with narrative, audiovisual techniques, and social configurations. Where previous scholarship has focused on the social fragmentation and political disillusionment visible in contemporary film, \u003ci\u003eRemaking Home\u003c\/i\u003e argues that in order to understand the political agency of contemporary cinema, it is necessary to move beyond deconstructive critical approaches to Latin American culture. In doing so, it expands the theoretical scope of studies in Latin American cinema by finding new points of contact between the cultural critique of Nelly Richard, the work of Bruno Latour, and theories of new materialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Merchant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022","brand":"Paul Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995332149503,"sku":"9780822946908","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23876b08-4550-4d5f-8b0e-d82d4ab583de.jpg?v=1683335224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remaking-home-paul-merchant-9780822946908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
