“An astute political and aesthetic thinker, Sophia A. McClennen draws on studies of globalization, Latin America, and film to offer an analytical paradigm for understanding how cultural products, and in particular film, both accommodate to millennial capitalism and at the same time provide a critique that enables affirmative ethical proposals that avert the obsolete projects ensuing from nationalist, postcolonial, and hybridity-oriented frameworks.” (George Yúdice, University of Miami, USA)
“Sophia A. McClennen blazes a promising new path for the study of culture and politics in this age of neoliberalism. She shows through an exploration of the contemporary Latin American film industry how the late twentieth-century categories for understanding culture, such as the local and the global or North and South, have been torn asunder by millennial globalization. Refreshing and erudite, this work offers nothing short of a paradigm shift in our understanding of globalization and culture.” (William I. Robinson, University of California-Santa Barbara, USA)
“A leading scholar in cultural and media studies, Sophia A. McClennen has written a bold and fundamental new work, which will be mandatory reference to all specialists in film. In Globalization and Latin American Cinema, McClennen revises our assumptions on both terms of her title, showing that the globalization of film is far from being the patrimony of dominant industries and that Latin American cinema no longer responds to the theorizations of national and third cinema that still dominate the field. This book is forward-looking and one of the first major accounts of how Latin American cinema actually operates in the neoliberal era.” (Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, Washington University, USA)
