Since the early 1990s, the repeated murders of women from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico have become something of a global cause célèbre. Cultural Representations ofFeminicidioat the US-Mexico Borderexamines creative responses to these acts of violence. It reveals how theatre, art, film, fiction and other popular cultural forms seek to remember and mourn the female victims of violent death in the city at the same time as they interrogate the political, legal and societal structures that produce the crimes. Different chapters examine the varying art forms to engage with Ciudad Juárez's feminicidal wave. Finnegan discusses Àlex Rigola's theatrical adaptation of Roberto Bolaño's novel2666by Teatre Lliure in Barcelona as well as painting about the victims offeminicidioby Irish painter Brian Maguire. There is analysis of documentary film about Ciudad Juárez, including Lourdes Portillo's acclaimedSeñorita Extraviada(2001). The final chapter turns its attention to writing about feminicide and examines testimonial and crime fiction narratives like the mystery novelDesert Blood: The Juárez Murdersby Alicia Gaspar de Alba, among other examples. By drawing on a range of artistic responses to the murders in Ciudad Juárez, Cultural Representations ofFeminicidioat the US-Mexico Bordershows how art, film, theatre and fiction can unsettle official narratives about the crimes and undo the static paradigms that are frequently used to interpret them. | Cultural Representations Of Feminicidio At The Us-mexico Border by Nuala Finnegan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
