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. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aWar films$zMexico$xHistory and criticism 607 $aMexico$xHistory$yRevolution, 1910-1920$xMotion pictures and the revolution 615 0$aWar films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43/658 700 $aPick$b Zuzana M$0872487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811862203321 996 $aConstructing the image of the Mexican Revolution$91947784 997 $aUNINA
