Description: Reframing Latin America by Erik Ching, Christina Buckley, Angélica Lozano-Alonso Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An illuminating primer that moves students and scholars beyond alienating terminology and toward accessible perspectives on Latin America and cultural studies. Publisher Description Providing an extensive introduction to cultural studies in general, regardless of chronological or geographic focus, and presenting provocative, essential readings from Latin American writers of the last two centuries, Reframing Latin America brings much-needed accessibility to the concepts of cultural studies and postmodernism. From Saussure to semiotics, the authors begin by demystifying terminology, then guide readers through five identity constructs, including nation, race, and gender. The readings that follow are presented with insightful commentary and encompass such themes as "Civilized Folk Marry the Barbarians" (including Jose Martis "Our America") and "Boom Goes the Literature: Magical Realism as the True Latin America?" (featuring Elena Garros essay "Its the Fault of the Tlaxcaltecas"). Films such as Like Water for Chocolate are discussed in-depth as well. The result is a lively, interdisciplinary guide for theorists and novices alike. Author Biography The authors are faculty members at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. Erik Ching is Associate Professor of History; Christina Buckley and Angélica Lozano-Alonso are Associate Professors of Spanish in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures.
