Y qu� mejor que un atlas para delinear el saqueo presente a lo largo y ancho de la Rep�blica mexicana. �Qu� tanto es tantito�. Atlas de la corrupci�n en M�xico (2000-2018) es una recopilaci�n de la informaci�n period�stica que ha tomado por asalto a los medios en los �ltimos a�os. Esc�ndalos, obras p�blicas colapsadas, estados endeudados, hijos de pol�ticos exhibiendo riquezas; g�bers pr�fugos o capturados en el extranjero; excesos del poder captados en video; fiestas con cargo al erario; moches y cuanta nota sucia se pueda endilgar a la clase pol�tica. Este libro es una gu�a ilustrada para avanzar por esas aguas negras, eso s�, con humor y doble sentido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Corruption in Mexico does not distinguish between ideologies, social origin, socioeconomic level, or hierarchies of power. In this country, keeping up with those who are corrupt requires record-keepers dedicated to compiling and classifying tons of information. And what better than an atlas to delineate the pillaging that is happening far and wide throughout the Mexican republic? How Much Is Just a Little? Atlas of Corruption in Mexico (2000-2018) is a compilation of journalistic information that has taken the media by storm in recent years. Scandals, collapsed public works, states in debt, politicians' children flashing exorbitant wealth, lavish parties paid for out of public funds. This book is an illustrated guide for navigating these muddy waters with humor.

Children and Adolescents in Film

Representing History, Class, and Gender in Spain and Latin America

Claudia Sandberg

Contemporary Latin American Cinema investigates the ways in which neoliberal measures of privatization, de-regularization and austerity introduced in Latin America during the 1990s have impacted film production and film narratives. The collection examines the relationship between economic policies and the films that depict recent transformations in many Latin American countries, demonstrating how contemporary Latin American film has not only criticized and resisted, but also benefitted from neoliberal advancements. Based on films produced in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru since 2010, the fourteen case studies illustrate neoliberalism’s effects, from big industries to small national cinemas. It also shows the new types of producers that have emerged, and the novel patterns of distribution, exhibition and consumption that shape and influence the Latin American filmscape. Through industry studies, reception analyses and close readings, this book establishes an informative and accessible text for scholars and students alike.

Resisting Neoliberalism?

Contemporary Latin American Cinema

Argentine Cinema and National Identity covers the development of Argentine cinema since the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, a period that has been understudied. This essential cultural history delves on the dialect tradition versus modernity that was in place during those years and also comprises an examination of the political economy of film production as well as the different laws, including that implementing censorship that regulated this cultural industry. It also pays particular attention to two historical film genres: the historical film genre per se and the gauchesque, a genre based on outlaw gauchos that was crucial for nation-building in the nineteenth century. This volume investigates the way Argentine cinema positioned itself when facing the competition of glossy American films and resorted to the historical and gauchesque to bridge the stark divisions between the Argentine left and right in the late 1960s.
