"National Sentiments, Transnational Realities focuses on the processes of Puerto Rican
national identity formation as seen through the historical development of cinema on
the island between 1897 and 1940. Anchoring my work in archival sources in film technology,
economy, and education, I argue that Puerto Rico's position as a stateless nation
allows for a fresh understanding of national cinema based on perceptions of productive
cultural contributions rather than on citizenship or state structures. This book aims
to contribute to recently expanding discussions of cultural networks by analyzing
how Puerto Rican cinema navigates the problems arising from the connection and/or
disjunction between nation and state. I argue that Puerto Rico's position as a stateless
nation puts pressure on traditional conceptions of national cinema, which tend to
rely on assumptions of state support or a bounded nation-state. I also contend that
the cultural and business practices associated with early cinema reveal that transnationalism
is an integral part of national identities and their development. In other words,
I show throughout this project that the development and circulation of cinema in Puerto
Rico illustrate how the "national" is built from transnational connections"
