This is the first book to analyze the interconnected fields of cinema, television, and multiplatform media in Mexico over the last decade. Combining industrial analysis of a major audiovisual field at a time of growth and change with close readings of significant texts on all screens, acclaimed author Paul Julian Smith deftly details how these new audiovisual trends establish media "waves." Smith also includes perspectives based on local reporting on the ground and offers one of the first texts in the field to take on star studies, tracing the distinct profiles of actors who migrate from one medium to another. Together, Smith's analyses illustrate the key movements in screen media in one of the world's largest media and cultural producing nations. These perspectives connect to and enrich scholarship across Latin American, North American, and Global cases.weiterlesen
