During a mass meeting held at the Plaza of the Three Cultures in the Tlatelolco neighborhood, paramilitary forces opened fire on the gathering. The death toll from the massacre remains a contested number, ranging from an official count in the dozens to estimates in the hundreds by journalists and scholars. Rereading the legacy of this tragedy through diverse artistic-political interventions across the decades, Photopoetics at Tlatelolco explores the state’s dual repression—both the massacre’s crushing effects on the movement and the manipulation of cultural discourse and political thought in the aftermath. Examining artifacts ranging from documentary photography and testimony to poetry, essays, chronicles, cinema, literary texts, video, and performance, Samuel Steinberg considers the broad photographic and photopoetic nature of modern witnessing as well as the specific elements of light (gunfire, flares, camera flashes) that ultimately defined the massacre. Steinberg also demonstrates the ways in which the labels of “massacre” and “sacrifice” inform contemporary perceptions of the state’s blatant and violent repression of unrest. With implications for similar processes throughout the rest of Latin America from the 1960s to the present day, Photopoetics at Tlatelolco provides a powerful new model for understanding the intersection of political history and cultural memory.Border Hispanisms.Tlatelolco Massacre, Mexico City, Mexico, 1968Student movementsMexicoMexico CityHistory20th centuryDocumentary filmsMexicoHistory20th centuryMexican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismTlatelolco (Mexico)HistoryMexicoPolitics and government1946-1970Tlatelolco Massacre, Mexico City, Mexico, 1968.Student movementsHistoryDocumentary filmsHistoryMexican literatureHistory and criticism.972/.530831Steinberg Samuel(Assistant professor of Spanish),1605300MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819825403321Photopoetics at Tlatelolco3930460UNINA
