Abstract

La presente investigación aborda el retrato de la felicidad del migrante americano y europeo desde la mirada cinematográfica. 2019 superó los 271 millones de migrantes en el mundo, el 3,5% de la población global. El presente estudio quiere proporcionar datos para la reflexión acerca de la acogida del extranjero en los países receptores. Para este trabajo se han seleccionado algunas de las principales películas sobre inmigración. Se ha indagado sobre el concepto de felicidad, disertación que cristaliza en la elaboración de una ficha de análisis, para examinar, según la representación cinematográfica, la felicidad del inmigrante. Las primeras conclusiones apuntan a que tanto el inmigrante europeo como el americano mostrados en la pantalla gozan de escasa felicidad, pues tanto América como Europa se cierran a la ayuda al extranjero con políticas migratorias representadas por el cine como crueles e inhumanas.

The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants.

Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
