About the Book

This dissertation explores how contemporary Latin American cultural producers have transformed resistance and marginality into valuable commodities within their own unique spheres of influences. Mexican film directors Alfonso Cuaron, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, and Guillermo del Toro, for instance, have exploited a conjoined marginal identity within Hollywood as a springboard to international success, utilizing their collective difference as a key character trait in their creation of a hugely successful real-life cinematic narrative for themselves. Meanwhile, in the case of Argentine novelist Cesar Aira, an ambivalence toward (and at times a venomous critique of) monumental modern authors and the literary works that sustain their personal grandeur constitutes an iconoclastic stance that has ironically helped him win publishing contracts worldwide. In present-day Venezuela, Hugo Chavez's multi-media effort to steer national discourse permeates every possible level of communication, feeding from the symbolic defiance of existing forms of popular media like graffiti writing and radical community television while co-opting them into an ever-expanding official apparatus. Finally, in contemporary Cuba, a region frequently considered "off the map" in terms of the effects of globalization, change is nevertheless happening through the efforts of clandestine bloggers and YouTube fanatics, connecting the necessarily marginalized interventions of illegal participants in banned technologies with an international audience eager to hear their tales of isolation and resistance. Each of these authors of contemporary Latin American culture has utilized a resistant stance and a marginal position as a platform for greater self-promotion and as a vehicle for reaching a more diversified audience of readers, investors, spectators, or citizens. Thus it is not strictly the traits of resistance and marginality that steer contemporary cultural production in Latin America, but rather the conversion of these traits into marketable commodities.
