Nature, Gender, and Agency

Children on the Threshold in Contemporary Latin American Cinema: Nature, Gender, and Agency analyzes child and adolescent protagonists in Latin American cinema. This book contends that child characters have taken on a critical representational role within Latin American cinema because of their position on the threshold between "nature" and "culture," which converts them into a focus of, and a limit to, state or colonial biopower. Rachel Randall provides a comprehensive examination of the key themes and developments in boys' and girls' cinematic representations since the adoption of children's rights discourses in the region. Recommended for scholars interested in Latin American studies, film studies, and cultural studies.
