The flow of cultural and media products between countries in the Americas has always been characterized by significant quantitative and qualitative imbalances and by economic, political and ideological dimensions. Movies, music, news, comics, magazines, television programs and more recently videogames have been exchanged asymmetrically, with the most powerful countries (United States at the hemispheric level, but also Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina at the regional level) exporting high volumes of media and communication contents to the smaller or less developed nations. In this course, we will review the current patterns of media flows in the region, with particular emphasis on films and television contents.
