a)   LIVING UNDOCUMENTED, A NEW NETFLIX SERIES THAT GIVES A HUMAN FACE 
TO IMMIGRANT STORIES Following the hearings of oral arguments and 
stories from DACA recipients in the Supreme Court of the United States, 
Mediático is delighted to present an excellent and timely new post by 
regular contributor and newly promoted Professor, Dr Deborah Shaw about 
the new Netflix series Living Undocumented.
b)    THESE MEXICAN MÄDCHEN A double post by Catherine Grant and Robert 
Carlos Ortiz.  Catherine Grant presentsa comparative videographic study 
showcasing the repetitions and variations across two sets of 
corresponding sequences from the three direct film adaptations of 
Christa Winsloe’s Mädchen in Uniform / Girls in Uniform (aka Ritter 
Nérestan and Gestern und Heute, 1930-32): Mädchen in Uniform (Leontine 
Sagan, Germany 1931); Muchachas de uniforme (Alfredo B. Crevenna, Mexico 
1951); Mädchen in Uniform (Géza von Radványi, West Germany 1958). 
Roberto Carlos Ortiz undertakes a production and textual analysis of 
Muchachas de uniforme (Alfredo B. Crevenna) by situating the Mexican 
remake of Mädchen in Uniform in the midst of Mexico’s transnational and 
genre based classical film industry, and also exploring the appeal of 
its Italian-Polish star Irasema Dilian and the queer pleasures offered 
by the film.
c)     SO, WHY HASN’T J-LO BEEN NOMINATED FOR ANY OF THE BIG FILM 
INDUSTRY AWARDS? In a timely new post regular contributor Niamh 
Thornton, Reader in Latin American Studies at the University of 
Liverpool, explores why J-Lo hasn’t been nominated for any awards this 
year despite her critically lauded supporting performance in Hustlers 
(Lorene Scafaria 2019). You can read more of Dr Thornton’s  Mediático 
posts, as well as the above contributions, at
