El turismo cultural se ha convertido en una importante fuente de ingresos para los países de América Latina, especialmente en los Andes y Meso-América. Los turistas van allí en busca de culturas auténticas y objetos e interactuar directamente con los pueblos indígenas. El turismo cultural se lleva a cabo tanto en la participación estrecha con las sociedades locales. Este libro analiza los efectos del turismo cultural y los procesos de cambio que provoca en las sociedades locales. Se analizan las complejidades de los mercados informales, las consecuencias de la aplicación de políticas turísticas, los encuentros variado de turistas extranjeros con las poblaciones locales, y las imágenes y las identidades que se derivan del desarrollo del turismo. Los colaboradores demuestran de manera convincente que la experiencia turística y las reacciones a las actividades turísticas sólo puede entenderse si se analiza desde los contextos locales.

Viewing contemporary Latin American films through the lens of queer studies reveals that many filmmakers are exploring issues of gender identity and sexual difference, as well as the homophobia that attempts to defeat any challenge to the heterosexual norms of patriarchal culture. In this study of queer issues in Latin American cinema, David William Foster offers highly perceptive queer readings of fourteen key films to demonstrate how these cultural products promote the principles of an antiheterosexist stance while they simultaneously disclose how homophobia enforces the norms of heterosexuality. Foster examines each film in terms of the ideology of its narrative discourse, whether homoerotic desire or a critique of patriarchal heterosexism and its implications for Latin American social life and human rights. His analyses underscore the difficulties involved in constructing a coherent and convincing treatment of the complex issues involved in critiquing the patriarchy from perspectives associated with queer studies. The book will be essential reading for everyone working in queer studies and film studies.
