This groundbreaking collection of essays examines Argentine cultural production during the 1989-2001 period, which coincided with the implementation of neoliberalism under President Carlos Saúl Menem (1989-1999) and his successor, Fernando de la Rúa (1999-2001), thereby providing an overview of the way Argentine writers, filmmakers, musicians and media reacted to this centrality of the market forces. This collection will be of interest to scholars of Latin American Cultural Studies, Hispanic Studies, Film Studies as well as those of Comparative Literature.
Reviews
“The essays in this volume ... characterize with exceptional interpretive clarity and with a firm grasp the predominant social, political, and cultural themes that swirled in Argentina during the often frightening years 1989-2001.” - Dr. David William Foster, Regents’ Professor of Spanish, Women’s Studies and Interdisciplinary Humanities, Arizona State University
“This volume will surely be a work of reference for all those interested in contemporary Argentine culture.” - Prof. Dr. Roland Spiller, Geschäftsführender Direktor, Institut für Romanische Sprachen und Literaturen, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität
“The collection is a remarkable critical contribution to have a better understanding of a difficult period in Argentina, and at the same time this group of studies proposes a coherent corpus, focuses on various aspects of the literary and cultural production that are nurtured from the local, national scene during what have been called ‘the lost years.’” - Dr. Ester Gimbernat González, Professor of Hispanic Studies, University of Northern Colorado
“This volume of critical essays is a welcome edition to Argentine literary and cultural studies and worthy item for university library collections ... It combines analyses of literary and audio-visual cultural texts produced in a context of post-neo-liberal Argentina, the period of national sell-out (1989-2001).” - Dr. J. Browitt, Senior Lecturer, Institute, University of Technology Sydney
