Description de l'ouvrage:
Answering a call to view Mexican film through the lens of commercial cinema, Animation in Mexico, 2006 to 2022 is the first book-length study of the country's animated cinema in the twenty-first century. As such, the volume sheds light on one of the country's most strategically important and lucrative genres, subjecting it to sustained intellectual analysis for the first time. Building on earlier film history, David S. Dalton identifies two major periods, during which the focus shifted from success at the national box office to internationalization and streaming. In eight original essays, contributors use an array of theoretical and disciplinary approaches to interrogate how this popular genre interfaces with Mexican politics and society more broadly, from Huevocartoon to Coco and beyond. The book will appeal to students, scholars, and fans of Mexican film by situating animation within broader currents in the field and the industry.

À propos de l'auteur :
David S. Dalton is Associate Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

Revue de Presse:
"Scholarship on animation has drifted towards the practices of Hollywood and the United States. Informative and accessible, Animation in Mexico offers fresh, intriguing perspectives on practices that have long gone unnoticed." — Jacqueline Avila, author of Cinesonidos: Film Music and National Identity During Mexico's Época de Oro

"A significant intervention. Dalton's introduction provides a clear, succinct overview of the history of Mexican animation and extends it into the twenty-first century, while the volume as a whole makes a compelling case for further study in the area." — Brian L. Price, coeditor of The Lost Cinema of Mexico: From Lucha Libre to Cine Familiar and Other Churros
