Conclusion. 330 $aInsurgent Skin: Body, Gender, and Sexuality in Latin American Cinema argues that twenty-first century Latin American cinema about lesbian, feminist, intersex, and transgender themes is revolutionary because it disrupts heteronormative and binary representation and explores new, queer signifying modes. Grounded in feminist and queer theory, Insurgent Skin conjugates film phenomenology and theories of affect and embodiment to analyze a spectrum of Latin American films. The first chapters explore queer signifying in Argentinean director Lucrecia Martel's Salta trilogy and the lesbian utopia of Albertina Carri's Las hijas del fuego (2018). Next, the book discusses the female body as uncanny absence in Tatiana Huezo's documentary Tempestad (2016), a film about gendered violence in Mexico. Chapter Five focuses on intersex films and the establishing of queer solidarity and an intersex gaze. The last chapter examines transgender embodiment in the Chilean film Una mujer fantástica (2017) and Brazilian documentary Bixa Travesty (2018). Dr. Juli A. Kroll is Professor of Spanish at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, where she also directs the Film Studies program. Dr. Kroll teaches Latin American literature, culture, and film studies. Her research focuses on Latin American cultural production, with emphasis on gender and sexualities. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in (Re)Presenting Gender,$x2662-9372 606 $aGender identity in mass media 606 $aMotion pictures, American 606 $aMedia and Gender 606 $aLatin American Film and TV 615 0$aGender identity in mass media. 615 0$aMotion pictures, American. 615 14$aMedia and Gender. 615 24$aLatin American Film and TV. 676 $a791.43653 676 $a791.4365267 700 $aKroll$b Juli A.$01252690 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910585974603321 996 $aBody, Gender, and Sexuality in Latin American Cinema$92904306 997 $aUNINA
