Investigating the convergence of cinema, photography, painting, and other graphic arts in this process, Zuzana Pick illuminates how the Mexican Revolution's timeline (1910–1917) corresponds with the emergence of media culture and modernity. Drawing on twelve foundational films from Que Viva Mexico! (1931–1932) to And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), Pick proposes that cinematic images reflect the image repertoire produced during the revolution, often playing on existing nationalist themes or on folkloric motifs designed for export. Ultimately illustrating the ways in which modernism reinvented existing signifiers of national identity, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution unites historicity, aesthetics, and narrative to enrich our understanding of Mexicanidad.ACLS Humanities E-Book.War filmsMexicoHistory and criticismMexicoHistoryRevolution, 1910-1920Motion pictures and the revolutionWar filmsHistory and criticism.791.43/658Pick Zuzana M872487MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811862203321Constructing the image of the Mexican Revolution1947784UNINA
