  1. Marginalidad cultural y representación: Aparte (2002) de Mario Handler. Giovanna Urdangarain, Pacific Lutheran University

    En este documental, jóvenes uruguayos, definidos como marginados culturales, acceden a la autorepresentación provistos de una cámara que registra su existencia. En mi análisis exploro los límites y los logros de un proyecto que apuesta a comunicar subalternidad.

  2. "Eréndira" by Gabriel García Márquez and The Wind Journeys by Ciro Guerra: An Aesthetics of Silence and Search for Transformation. Stella Moreno, Central Washington University

    Solitude and supernatural forces mark the unavoidable fates of the protagonists in the story "Eréndira" and in the film The Wind Journeys. In the aesthetic style of Magical Realism, literary and cinematic narratives interweave dreams and pain in eloquent silence.

  3. Coming of Age in Latin America: Film and Narratives from a Girl's Perspective. Ana Maria Rodriguez-Vivaldi, Washington State University

    As an extension of the interest in exploring gender and identity issues, contemporary Latin American films and narratives told from the point of view of girls address ‘coming of age’ situations that may either perpetuate or evolve into new social constructions of reality.
