Historias del arte en Colombia
Historias del arte en Colombia presenta nuevos relatos sobre el arte producido, consumido, usado e inspirado en este país, a partir de veintiún estudios de caso. Por medio de cuatro ejes temáticos —identidades, materialidades, migraciones y geografías—, propone lecturas distintas de los procesos artísticos en territorio colombiano, al explorar las obras más allá de los movimientos, las cronologías y los nombres más conocidos. Sus protagonistas son platos, pendientes, dibujos, fotografías, pinturas de caballete y mural, esculturas e instalaciones, entre otras obras en su mayoría ignoradas por la historiografía nacional.
En Estado de Sitio: los Kunas en Urabá
En estado de sitio es el resultado de una investigación etnográfica conducida con el objetivo de documentar la vida diaria de la comunidad indígena kuna de Arquía, a partir del contexto conflictivo en el cual se desarrolla su cotidianidad. Los kunas habitan la región del Urabá, al noroccidente de Colombia, cerca de la frontera con la República de Panamá, en una de las áreas del mundo con mayor riqueza y diversidad de especies animales y vegetales: un “paraíso verde” que, durante los últimos años, ha sido el epicentro de una crisis humanitaria muy grave. A pesar de la información de origen institucional que se niega a admitirlo, el Urabá se encuentra, todavía hoy, en estado de guerra. En la región están presentes grupos armados cuyo objetivo es el control de sus trochas, ríos y selvas, que se han vuelto rutas estratégicas utilizadas para el narcotráfico y el contrabando. Alrededor de los territorios kunas todavía se combate, todavía se mata, todavía hay desapariciones y violencia: el paisaje ecológico y social en que se desarrolla su cotidianidad está sufriendo daños irreversibles.

The Oxford Handbook of Historical Ecology and Applied Archaeology

This Handbook provides examples of how people interact with their environments and presents outlines of the methods used to understand these changes.
Liquid Ecologies in Latin American and Caribbean Art
This interdisciplinary book brings into dialogue research on how different fluids and bodies of water are mobilised as liquid ecologies in the arts in Latin America and the Caribbean. Examining the visual arts, including multimedia installations, performance, photography and film, the chapters place diverse fluids and systems of flow in art historical, ecocritical and cultural analytical contexts. The book will be of interest to scholars of art history, cultural studies, environmental humanities, blue humanities, ecocriticism, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and island studies. Chapter 7 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com
Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide
Nowhere on Earth is there an ecological transformation so swift and so extreme as between the snow-line of the high Andes and the tropical rainforest of Amazonia. The different disciplines that research the human past in South America have long tended to treat these two great subzones of the continent as self-contained enough to be taken independently of each other. Objections have repeatedly been raised, however, to warn against imagining too sharp a divide between the people and societies of the Andes and Amazonia, when there are also clear indications of significant connections and transitions between them. Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide brings together archaeologists, linguists, ...
