Citing China: Politics, Postmodernism, and World Cinema by Gina Marchetti

World Cinema and the Essay Film examines the ways in which essay film practices are deployed by transnational filmmakers in specific local and national contexts, in an interconnected world. The book identifies the essay film as a political and ethical tool to reflect upon and potentially resist the multiple, often contradictory effects of globalisation. With case studies of essayistic works by John Akomfrah, Frances Calvert, José Luis Guerín, Jonas Mekas, David Perlov, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Zhao Liang, amongst many others, and with a photo-essay by Trinh T. Minh-ha, the book expands current research on the essay film and presents transnational perspectives on what is becoming a global film practice.

Resumo: Filmes do Cinema de Hollywood são representativos de um imaginário geopolítico hegemônico. A este imaginário contrapõe-se uma antigeopolítica identificada nas representações de filmes do Cinema do Terceiro Mundo. Partindo de importantes contribuições da geografia política crítica que apontam para articulações entre as representações geopolíticas e os filmes, analisamos três filmes que retratam a América Latina em um dos períodos mais conturbados da sua história. Sua análise nos revela elementos característicos de uma geopolítica de resistência durante as ditaduras civil-militares implantadas no Brasil, no Chile e na Argentina.Palavras-chave: Antigeopolítica. Cinema. América Latina. Ditadura. THE THIRD WORLD CINEMA UNDER THE ANTIGEOPOLITICS VIEW: DICTATORSHIP AND RESISTANCE IN LATIN AMERICAAbstract: Hollywood film movies are representative of a hegemonic geopolitical imaginary. This imaginary contrasts with an antigeopolitics identified in the Third World Cinema representations. Based on important contributions from critical political geography that points to articulations between geopolitical representations and movies, we analyze three cinema productions that portray Latin America in one of the most troubled periods of its history. That analysis reveals elements of a geopolitics of resistance related to the civil-military dictatorships implanted in Brazil, Chile and Argentina.Keywords: Antigeopolitics. Movies. Latin America.
