Contemporary Latin American cinema features a series of realist portraits and testimonies, in which young filmmakers develop their own visions of the new conditions of life on the continent. This dissertation looks at these specific cinematic visions of beings who survive on the edges of marginality and violence.

Contemporary American literature is subversive. Primarily postmodernist, these works are inherently distrustful. As a result, contemporary American literature, arguably continues the pattern of highly-politicized fiction popularised in the 18th and 19th century, along with the thought-provoking philosophical questions of 20th century Modernist movement. John Updike, Harry Rabbit Angstrom series (1960, 1971, 1981, 1990). Much like William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, Updike’s Rabbit series is told in a present-tense narrative, destabilizing the novel’s traditional style.

This first English translation makes avail­able to English-speaking readers a power­ful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico’s 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by build­ing it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest.

 

The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the “poisoning” of the water as one of Don Ulises’s men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feed­ing on itself, the rumor spreads that the “boss” has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico’s major social problems and glaring ironies—that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.
