Gender and Society in Contemporary Brazilian Cinema
ISBN: 9780292725102 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Gender is an absolute ground zero for most human societies," writes David William Foster, "an absolute horizon of social subjectivity."

Mexico City in Contemporary Mexican Cinema
ISBN: 9780292725423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Just as Mexican national life has come to center on the sprawling, dynamic, almost indefinable metropolis of Mexico City, so recent Mexican cinema has focused on the city not merely as a setting for films but almost as a protagonist in its own right, whose conditions both create meaning for and receive meaning from the human lives lived in its midst. Through close readings of fourteen recent critically acclaimed films, this book watches Mexican cinema in this process of producing cultural meaning through its creation, enaction, and interpretation of the idea of Mexico City. David... Just as Mexican national life has come to center on the sprawling, dynamic, almost indefinable metropolis of Mexico City, so recent Mexican cinema ... |
