Description

Argentine Cinema and National Identity covers the development of Argentine cinema for the reason that late 1950s to the mid-1970s, a period that has been understudied. This essential cultural history delves at the dialect tradition as opposed to modernity that used to be in place throughout those years and also contains an examination of the political economy of film production in addition to 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 in response to outlaw gauchos that used to be an important for nation-building in the nineteenth century. This volume investigates the way Argentine cinema located 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.
