Description de l'ouvrage :
An original and groundbreaking historiography on fifty years of Uruguayan cinema.
Runner-up for the 2014 Publication Prize awarded by the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland
This book presents an original historiography on fifty years of Uruguayan cinema. It is the first English language academic book in which Uruguay becomes a case study to reflect upon broader interests of both Film and Latin American Studies, such as the conditions of film archives, the many materialities of film, the relationshipbetween film and politics, and the ways in which films are produced in countries without a mainstream film industry. Uruguayan cinema has recently begun to capture the attention of academics and critics. However, most of Uruguayan productions remain ignored and forgotten, and have not been explored in depth. This ground-breaking investigation unearths films and videos from private and public archives, made in both amateur and professional settings, to reflect upon the ever-changing nature of the concept of cinema.
How is the concept of cinema defined in non-industrial contexts? Can we even talk about cinema, when most of the production was captured in small-gauge film and video? In seeking to answer these questions, this book uncovers the tensions behind the text and the - filmic, magnetic or digital - materiality of films. Detailed case studies are based on the analysis of the political, cultural and economic contexts of film production and current issues of accessibility.

Revue de Presse :
Some books are more instrumental than others. Beatriz Tadeo Fuica's recently published Uruguayan Cinema, 1960 - 2010. Text, Materiality, Archive is one of those volumes that comes to fill a long overdue gap in research. ― FRAMES CINEMA JOURNAL
[E]l trabajo más completo sobre cine uruguayo, no solo por el períodio que abarca, sino también por su enfoque, su análisis minucioso y su interés por desentrañar todos los aspectos de un fenómeno tan complejo como el cinematográfico en un país tan particular como el Uruguay.
The most complete work on Uruguayan cinema, not only because of the period it covers, but also because of its focus, its meticulous analysis and its interest in unraveling all aspects of a phenomenon as complex as cinematography in a country as individual as Uruguay. ― Romanische Forschungen
