  Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions

  Forma Revista d'Estudis Comparatius. Art, Literatura, Pensament

  This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

Aujourd’hui, le risque de la rupture semble l’emporter sur les perspectives d’une renaissance. Les profonds bouleversements qui traversent le Proche et le Moyen-Orient ont crée une situation extrêmement complexe dans laquelle la déliquescence de certains États a atteint un point critique peut être irréversible. Il faut reposer la question suivante : les États actuels vont-ils pouvoir prendre en compte leur pluralité religieuse, ethnique, sociétale, ou allons-nous vers une recomposition à terme de cette région à partir d'une faillite irréversible des États ?
