- Martin-Jones was the lead researcher and editor of this special issue, from inception to completion. The underpinning process of investigation was led by Martin-Jones at the convergence of his long-standing solo work on world cinemas(including monographs, anthologies and articles) and the four previous peer-reviewed articles he has co-authored with Montañez on Uruguayan cinema. Numerically accounting for this substantial contribution, Martin-Jones was the lead researcher (as well as author) on both the Introduction and his cowritten article contribution (contributing around 75% of the research for both). Martin-Jones also took on 50% of the editing across the edition as a totality, being the first editor on two of the other three articles, and second editor on the third. Martin-Jones had the vision to conceive of the special issue, which developed from his observation that filmmaking activity in Uruguay now required a new, holistic approach– to understand its multifaceted existence both industrially and culturally. He then led: the shaping of the issue, the choice of contributors to include (combining UK-based and Uruguay-based scholars), the proposing and securing of the special issue with Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas, the editing process itself, the writing of the questions for the filmmaker interviews, and the managing of the distribution of work across the three editors. In the Introduction, Martin-Jones developed the idea of “contemporary Uruguayan cinemas” to describe the current state of the industry, conducted the extensive literature review of works on Latin American cinema, and led the interpretative work explaining its absence from the scholarly field (reasons industrial, geopolitical). In the chapter his research shaped both depth and breadth, as he was responsible for the majority of the hermeneutic work (especially the close textual analysis – depth – and the unpacking of the different possible national/transnational interpretations of the film – breadth).
