Their Argentine films developed a large and international fan base. Analyzing the couple's films and their subsequent censorship, \u003ci\u003eViolated Frames\u003c\/i\u003e develops a new, roughly constructed, and \"bad\" archive of relocated materials to debate questions of performance, authorship, stardom, sexuality, and circulation. Victoria Ruétalo situates Bó and Sarli's films amidst the popular culture and sexual norms in post-1955 Argentina, and explores these films through the lens of bodies engaged in labor and leisure in a context of growing censorship. Under Perón, manual labor produced an affect that fixed a specific type of body to the populist movement of Peronism: a type of body that was young, lower-classed, and highly gendered. The excesses of leisure in exhibition, enjoyment, and ecstasy in Bó and Sarli's films interrupted the already fragmented film narratives of the day and created alternative sexual possibilities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eV\u003ci\u003ei\u003c\/i\u003eolated Frames\u003c\/i\u003e is a watershed, must-read work of adult film history, Latin American film studies, and feminist scholarship. It navigates a richly conceived 'bad archive' to reveal Isabel Sarli and Armando Bó as corporeal experimenters whose sensational legacy impacted a critical period in Argentine history as well as global film culture. Victoria Ruétalo boldly reframes our understanding of the relation between the sex film archive, authorship, performance, embodiment, film censorship, and the nation, painting a fascinating picture of Sarli's star body's creative labor and radical singularity.\"--Elena Gorfinkel, author of \u003ci\u003eLewd Looks: American Sexploitation Cinema in the 1960s\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eViolated Frames \u003c\/i\u003edraws readers into its well-theorized exploration of the Argentine filmmaker and star partnership, and doesn't let go until three hundred exhilarating pages later.\"--Dolores Tierney, author of \u003ci\u003eNew Transnationalisms in Contemporary Latin American Cinemas \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVictoria Ruétalo\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at the University of Alberta.
