vida de un joven soldado, a la vez que cuenta la esencia del ser humano tras tres mil años. Carpentier divide el relato entre cuatro secciones marcadas por números romanos a través de las cuales salta entre seis distintas épocas de guerra. Superficialmente es un relato sencillo de un joven soldado preparándose para embarcar en una gran expedición guerrera naval. Detrás de esta fachada, la narración del cuento es mucho más detallado y complejo. La voz narrativa salta entre seis soldados que narran el

Azuela, on the other hand, evidently does not support this view as through his narrative we see the similar negativity surrounding the female characters and therefore the novel is lacking respect for both ‘soldadera’ and ‘soldado’, proving that neither were necessary as they either were too weak or ruined the course and morals of the revolution ideals. Ultimately, the idea that Pintada would pay no punishment and her advancement through her male characteristics indicates

In Tabula rasa, Perel returns to the ex-ESMA, but this time to record, between July 2012 and January 2013, the demolition of one of its buildings, the so-called “módulos de acomodación” (accommodation modules) where soldiers slept. The building was demolished to create a museum and memorial about the Guerra de las Malvinas (The Malvinas War, 1982). Using fixed shots and diegetic sounds characteristic of Perel’s cinema, the film opens with a working table and a computer that shows an image of the
The Spanish Conquests were led and completed by extraordinary, Spanish soldiers that received no help from translators as they obliterated the inferior, native culture! Right? Well, not quite. In fact, these are the very myths that Restall’s book sets out to disprove. From the time they were recorded in ink as primary sources to even now when historians heatedly debate historic events, facts have been misconstrued. For hundreds of years, stories of what took place during the conquest have been twisted

Los de Abajo, the realistic portrayal of those involved in the Mexican Revolution? After only reaching a small audience with serialised publications of Los de Abajo, the importance of the novel and author, Mariano Azuela, only became apparent in the 1920’s. The rugged nature of the narrative in the novel proved to be something different to the norm of the romanticised literature that had been published regarding the revolution. A testimonial view provided by an eyewitness account offered ‘mexicanidad’
