Portinari, pintor social
A pintura moderna no Brasil teve em Cândido Portinari um de seus artistas mais significativos. Chegou mesmo por volta dos anos 40 e 50 a ser considerado o seu representante oficial. E isto num duplo sentido. Oficial por realizar uma síntese brasileira das novas tendências estéticas e das novas linguagens plásticas, integrando, numa obra pessoal e rica de invenção e sensibilidade, a herança e o savoir faire do tradicional com as ousadas buscas do moderno. Este fato o tornou a certa altura um pintor conhecido, em moda, e daí o segundo aspecto que a palavra oficial passou a cobrir. Amigo de Gustavo Capanema, ministro da Educação e Saúde de Getúlio Vargas, recebeu o encargo, pela qu...
Modernity in Black and White
In his first single-authored English-language work, Rafael Cardoso offers a re-evaluation of modern art and modernism in Brazil.
Rethinking Centre-Periphery Assumptions in the History of Education
This collection encompasses a period that spans two centuries, in which Brazil serves as a point of departure and of arrival for the analyses of circuits that, intertwined within the national borders, stimulate the reflection about international transits, hybridizations, and appropriations in a process of transnational circulation of subjects and artifacts, in which pedagogical and social models and knowledges are not excluded. The chapters deal with voyages, trajectories, and exchanges, rethinking the beliefs that for a long time drove politicians, educators, and scholars in search of the best ways to construct national systems of education. Firstly, because they presupposed the existence o...
Fragmentos urbanos
A obra Fragmentos Urbanos apresenta-se em dois eixos. Em sua primeira parte - que une ensaios sobre a modernização do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo e sobre a visão futurista do espaço urbano - estabelece um confronto entre realidade e utopia a partir do olhar que os contemporâneos lançam sobre a cidade. ¿Por isso, é dada importância a vários tipos de testemunhos escritos: a partir deles, a cidade vai sendo construída, vai sendo interpretada em sucessivos ajustes de foco que desvendam a relação de habitantes peculiares com um espaço que tentam conformar, quando não dominar, por ações concretas e recursos retóricos¿, descreve Annateresa. Na segunda parte do livro, a autora ...

The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde
How artists challenged a military dictatorship through mass print technologies in 1970s and 1980s São Paulo. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, during Brazil's military dictatorship, artists shifted their practices to critique the government and its sanitized images of Brazil, its use of torture, and its targeted persecutions. Mari Rodríguez Binnie's The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde examines these artworks and their engagement with politics and mainstream art institutions and practices. As Binnie skillfully shows, artists appropriated processes like photocopy, offset lithography, and thermal and heliographic printing, making newly available technologies of mass production foundational ...
Telepresence & Bio Art
"Eduardo Kac's work represents a turning point. What it questions is our current attitudes to creativity, taking that word in its most fundamental sense." -Edward Lucie-Smith, author of Visual Arts in the 20th Century "His works introduce a vital new meaning into what had been known as the creative process while at the same time investing the notion of the artist-inventor with an original social and ethical responsibility." -Frank Popper, author of Origins and Development of Kinetic Art "Kac's radical approach to the creation and presentation of the body as a wet host for artificial memory and 'site-specific' work raises a variety of important questions that range from the status of memory i...

The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas.
