Du cinéma qui naît à la fin du XIX? siècle à celui qui s'expose aujourd'hui au musée s'est jouée une histoire en trois temps, dont chacun est venu décrire un usage théorique et social du signifiant « cinéma ». Le premier consacre un appareil d'enregistrement et de projection des images en mouvement qui, parmi d'autres, a réussi à imposer un modèle technique et industriel de production des films. Point d'arrivée d'une culture visuelle façonnée par les panoramas, la photographie, le chemin de fer, la lanterne magique et les jouets optiques, le cinématographe consigne une vaste iconographie documentaire avant de s'ouvrir aux formes divertissantes du spectacle. C'est le moment Lumière. Pourtant, dès le début des années 1910, ce premier moment historique est contrarié par une demande d'art qui va profondément modifier son profil culturel et social.

The White Indians of Mexican Cinema theorizes the development of a unique form of racial masquerade—the representation of Whiteness as Indigeneity—during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, from the 1930s to the 1950s. Adopting a broad decolonial perspective while remaining grounded in the history of local racial categories, Mónica García Blizzard argues that this trope works to reconcile two divergent discourses about race in postrevolutionary Mexico: the government-sponsored celebration of Indigeneity and mestizaje (or the process of interracial and intercultural mixing), on the one hand, and the idealization of Whiteness, on the other. Close readings of twenty films and primary source material illustrate how Mexican cinema has mediated race, especially in relation to gender, in ways that project national specificity, but also reproduce racist tendencies with respect to beauty, desire, and protagonism that survive to this day. This sweeping survey illuminates how Golden Age films produced diverse, even contradictory messages about the place of Indigeneity in the national culture.This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem)—a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, and the Association of Research Libraries—and the generous support of Emory University and the Andrew W.
