Why has violence been a predominant topic in contemporary Argentine literature and film?
Violence in Argentine Literature and Film draws on multiple critical approaches to explore how images of violence and narratives that depict violence are rooted decanted of authoritarianism and cultural upheaval. This collection interpret and analyses the ways violence communicates structural inequalities and lines of fissure in contemporary Argentina.
Examining depictions of violence in Argentine cultural production as multifaceted and complex, this collection explores the body as a site of physical violence, the legacies of authoritarianism, the collapse of the myth of the Argentine nation, and the battles over the definition of social and geographical place. It examines violence as a cause and result of the transformations undergone by the Argentine state, economy, and society.
