Comprising 15 essays and a critical introduction, \u003ci\u003eThe Film Archipelago: Islands in Latin American Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e addresses this question by examining a series of intersections between insular spaces and filmmaking in Latin America. The volume brings together international scholars and filmmakers to consider a diverse corpus of films about islands, films that take place on islands, films produced in islands, and films that problematise islands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book explores a diverse range of films that extend from the Chilean documentaries of Patricio Guzm疣 to work on the Malvinas\/Falkland Islands, and films by Argentine directors Gustavo Font疣 and Lucrecia Martel. Chapters focus on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the Mexican Islas Mar僘s, and the Panamanian Caribbean; on ecocritical, environmental and film historical aspects of Brazilian and Argentine river islands; and on Cuban, Guadeloupean, Haitian, and Puerto Rican contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Film Archipelago \u003c\/i\u003eargues that the islands and archipelagos of Latin American cinema constitute a critically interesting, analytically complex, and historically suggestive angle to explore issues of marginality and peripherality, remoteness and isolation, and fragility and dependency. As a whole, the collection demonstrates to what extent the combined insular and archipelagic lens can re-frame and re-figure both longstanding and recent discussions on the spaces of Latin American cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Gez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350281751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350281752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.74d","brand":"Antonio Gez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079791145215,"sku":"9781350281752","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbeb6e7e-058f-412d-b188-330c4a6498a4.jpg?v=1685483161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-film-archipelago-antonio-g-mez-9781350281752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
