'El pinche acentito ese': deseo transatlántico y exotismo satírico en el cine mexicano del cambio de milenio: Amores perros, Y tu mamá también, Sin dejar huella

Pages 457-481 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

This article discusses the use of Spanish female characters in three recent Mexican films (Amores perros, Y tu mamá también, Sin dejar huella). The article argues that, beyond any allegorical exotism with a colonialist air, or beyond globalist posturing, the transatlantic female body is used to question and/or analyse narratives of national unity and integrity in crisis.

Este artículo comenta la utilización de personajes femeninos de origen español en tres cintas mexicanas recientes (Amores perros, Y tu mamá también, Sin dejar huella). El artículo plantea que, más allá de un exotismo alegórico de aire colonialista o de posturas globalistas, el cuerpo femenino transatlántico sirve para el cuestionamiento y/o análisis de narrativas sobre la unidad e integridad nacionales en el cambio de milenio.
