The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History
This companion is the first global, comprehensive text to explicate, theorize, and propose decolonial methodologies for art historians, museum professionals, artists, and other visual culture scholars, teachers, and practitioners. Art history as a discipline and its corollary institutions - the museum, the art market - are not only products of colonial legacies but active agents in the consolidation of empire and the construction of the West. The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History joins the growing critical discourse around the decolonial through an assessment of how art history may be rethought and mobilized in the service of justice - racial, gender, social, environmental, res...
A Post-Neoliberal Era in Latin America?
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Ongoing conflicts between neoliberal and post-neoliberal politics have resulted in growing social instability in Latin America. This book explores the cultural dynamics of neoliberalism and anti-neoliberal resistance in Latin America as a complex set of interrelated cultural forms, examining the ways in which neoliberalism has transformed public discourses of self and social relationships, popular cultures and modes of everyday experience. Contributors from an international range of different disciplinary perspectives look at how Latin Americans construct subjectivities, build communities and make meaning in their everyday lives in order to analyse the discourses and cultural practices through which a societal consensus for the pursuit of neoliberal politics may be established, defended and contested.
Selling EthniCity
Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of scholars, this book explores the importance of ethnicity and cultural economy in the post-Fordist city in the Americas. It argues that cultural, political and economic elites make use of cultural and ethnic elements in city planning and architecture in order to construct a unique image of a particular city and demonstrates how the use of ethnicized cultural production - such as urban branding based on local identities - by the economic elite raises issues of considerable concern in terms of local identities, as it deploys a practical logic of capital exchange that can overcome forms of cultural resistance and strengthen the hegemonic colonization of everyday life. At the same time, it shows how ethnic communities are able to use ethnic labelling of cultural production, ethnic economy or ethno-tourism facilities in order to change living conditions and to empower its members in ways previously impossible. Of wide ranging interest across academic disciplines, this book will be a useful contribution to Inter-American studies.

Pedagogías decoloniales Tomo II
La compilación Pedagogías decoloniales se nos presenta, una vez más, como un libro necesario y urgente en su nuevo tomo. En él Catherine Walsh da continuidad a su propuesta de pensar la relación entre pedagogía y de(s)colonialidad, y, tal como ya nos tiene acostumbradxs, recrea una mirada amplia, justa, comprometida, que permite aglutinar diferentes abordajes desde actores muy diversos, haciendo posible un tratamiento mixto en donde voces de académicxs activistas se conjugan a las voces de activistas comprometidxs con la producción de pensamientos. Contraviniendo lo que comunmente es entendido como el campo pedagógico, Walsh nos propone una lectura desde el grito, desde la grieta, d...
Miradas alternativas desde la diferencia y las subalternidades
Este libro colectivo es una anomalía no sólo por su posicionamiento geopolítico y geoepistémico para incidir en el papel y más allá de él, sino también por entrelazar voces y perspectivas de mujeres y hombres de Brasil, Bolivia, Colombia y Ecuador que se entusiasman y esfuerzan por, conjuntamente, relevar el poder de la colonialidad que aún continúa, e imaginar y encaminar lo decolonial. Así también problematiza y desafía el pensamiento occidental como patrón único universal; al mismo tiempo que plantea consideraciones, propone rutas y provoca nuevas formas y perspectivas de criticidad desde y con los grupos humanos, los conocimientos y las experiencias y prácticas de nuestra América del Sur
