Description
Queer Issues in Contemporary Latin American Cinema by David William Foster explores how filmmakers are addressing issues of gender identity and sexual difference in their work. This study examines fourteen key films, analyzing their narrative discourse to reveal the principles of an antiheterosexist stance while also disclosing the impact of homophobia on patriarchal culture. Foster's analysis highlights the complexities involved in critiquing patriarchy from a queer perspective, and demonstrates how these cultural products promote social change. The films discussed include works such as De eso no se habla, El lugar sin límites, and Fresa y chocolate, among others. This book will be of interest to those working in film studies and queer studies, offering valuable insights into the representation of LGBTQ+ issues in Latin American cinema.
