Mexican Genders, Mexican Genres : Cinema, Television, and Streaming Since 2010 Hardback

Gender representation in Mexico's contemporary audio-visual landscapeThis book focusses on gender and the audio-visual landscape of Mexico since 2010, examining popular culture as expressed in the still distinct but rapidly converging media forms of cinema, television, and streaming platforms.

It tracks how changes in producers and genres coincide with changes in gender representations and engages with depictions of feminism, women's sexuality, masculinity, and teen homosexuality.

It aims to move beyond the art, auteur or specialist film that is vaunted by film festivals but little seen by Mexicans at home, focussing instead on a wider world of media content and practices available in Mexico itself.

Close attention is also paid to the social media footprint of the productions studied and the way it is used for promotion and engagement with the target audience.

The book proposes a new approach to audio-visual studies, combining textual analysis with field surveys and the useof industrial sources perhaps unfamiliar to scholars in Anglo-American Hispanism and Latin American media studies in the UK and USA
