The article offers a formal and narrative analysis of two recent biographical films about Peronism: Juan y Eva (Paula de Luque, 2011) and Iron Gate. The Exile of Perón (Víctor Laplace and Dieguillo Fernández, 2012). Both films are read in relation to the political climate they share: that of the third Kirchner government in Argentina. Built from two opposing narrative aesthetics –a minimalist post-epic on the one hand, a discursive recovery of the Peronist epic on the other– the two films, however, share an idealizing view of the figures of Juan Domingo and Eva Perón.

The aim of this article is to examine how the narrator in César Calvo’s novel The Three Halves of Ino Moxo: Teachings of the Wizard of the Upper Amazon tries to portray the Amazonian culture from the inside. The analysis focuses on the narrative passages that describe the visions experienced by the characters after consuming ayahuasca. Furthermore, we study the tension between poetic prose and ethnographic register in this novel, as we explore how the Amazonian universe (with its beliefs, myths and knowledges) participates in the construction of a heterogeneous Peruvian national identity.

The aim of this paper is to analyze how women’s magazines build their agendas. The point of departure of this investigation is the news values theory, one of the main contributions of the newsmaking studies. Our objective is to corroborate the possible existence of “feminine news values”, by comparing the frames and the models of women that prevail in two Argentinean women’s magazines from the decade of 1990’s (Para Ti and Mujeres & Compañía). We intend to rethink the newsworthiness criteria in feminine journalism and to gather the main issues in these magazines’ pages, where the feminine universe seems to be defined by maternity, marriage, sex, work, fashion, beauty, domestic tasks, etc.
