Description
In United States horror cinema, representations of Mexico—or more precisely, of fictional US characters’ experience of Mexico—have contributed to the imagined position of Mexico as a familiar yet subordinate and dangerous Other. Mexico and the US-Mexican borderlands are a locus of danger and tragedy par excellence, as the act of crossing the border embodies a movement toward the unknown. Even when it is initially depicted as a (commodified) paradise characterized by alluring nature, Mexico is shown to be an inhospitable place that endangers protagonists who, after struggling against it, either perish or return to the United States—whose image of moral and cultural superiority is thus reinforced. The geopolitical transformations Mexico has undergone since the mid-1990s are reflected in a number of films, sparked by a renewed interest in topics related to undocumented migration and cross-border organized crime. Focusing on 21st century cinema, this talk will tackle four main themes—Horrific Nature, Haunted Heritage, Borderland Savagery, and Migrant Horror—as seen in films such as BORDERLAND, THE RUINS, THE FOREVER PURGE, THE EYE (2008), and many more.
Presented by Anna Marta Marini
