This text is indebted to Eric Cazdyn’s Blind Spot Machine, a film/project/lecture/performance that he presented at La Esmeralda in Mexico City in April 2017. Cazdyn’s piece addressed issues of representation and legibility, critically questioning how modern epistemology works in film and language. I am also grateful for the feedback I received from peers at “The Political Lives of 21st Century Culture,” a workshop held at the Center for US and Mexico Studies at the University of California, San Diego, especially Paloma Checa-Gismero and Tania Islas Weinstein, who organized the workshop.
