Abstract

Poverty, beyond its economic characteristics,
is also a cultural and social construction
surrounded by a number of orbiting
meanings, values and preconceptions.
During the so-called Golden Age, Mexican
cinema undoubtedly played a very important
part in shaping the characteristics
to date allocated to the idea of poverty.
This paper aims to focus on some of the
Mexican filmic representations of three
different poverty conditions: urban poverty,
rural poverty and destitution.
