Abstract

Abstract: This dissertation examines a previously ignored group of films: the Mexican low budget productions (wrestling and border action films, antihero comedies, and sexy movies) made since the 1960s. Besides analyzing production and reception practices of Mexican low budget films, this dissertation particularly highlights the works of the performer María Elena Velasco (La India María), who is one of the main representative’s of Mexican low budget films. Since her first appearance as an indigenous character in the 1970s, she is widely known and controversially discussed. = Abstract: Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht ein bis anhin unerforschtes Korpus an Filmen; die seit den 1960er Jahren produzierten mexikanischen Low-Budget-Filme. Analysiert werden Produktions- und Rezeptionspraktiken, wobei die Filme von María Elena Velasco (La India María) im Zentrum stehen. María Elena Velasco (La India María) gilt als eine der wichtigsten Vertreterinnen der Low-Budget-Produktionen und ihre Darstellung einer indigenen Frau führt seit ihrem ersten Auftritt in den 1970er Jahren zu kontroversen Reaktionen.
