The Education System in Mexico
Over the last three decades, a significant amount of research has sought to relate educational institutions, policies, practices and reforms to social structures and agencies. A number of models have been developed that have become the basis for attempting to understand the complex relation between education and society. At the same time, national and international bodies tasked with improving educational performances seem to be writing in a void, in that there is no rigorous theory guiding their work, and their documents exhibit few references to groups, institutions and forces that can impede or promote their programmes and projects. As a result, the recommendations these bodies provide to...
Becoming Weather
Following a relational, Indigenous-led approach grounded in 25 years of collaborative work, this book looks to weather and climate, tracing the embodied, emplaced and affective ways weather co-constitutes people, place and time/s raising critical questions of ethics, politics and becoming. Becoming weather leads the reader through a reflexive engagement with weather, seeking to shed light on pressing issues around climate change and its entanglements: from the body where contours of weather are intimately felt and known, to the ways that agencies of weather are implicated in the construction of nations, to global topologies of climate (in)justice. Reflecting on deep and ongoing collaborative...
Things to Do in Hell
Join Chris Martin for a poetic walking tour of hell—or is it heaven? In this wickedly clever collection, Martin asks how we go about living in the tension between protesting lunatic politicians and picking up the kids from school, mourning a dying Earth and making soup, combating white supremacy and loving our dear ones. Martin’s poems pick at the tender scabs protecting our national and individual identities, and call for more honest healing. Things to Do in Hell channels 2016 anger into 2020 action with sophisticated, rhythmic verse that compels us to beat our swords into ploughshares and join the fight.
No Longer Newsworthy
Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this significant part of American society in favor of the moneyed "upscale" consumer for more than four decades. Christopher R. Martin now reveals why and how the media lost sight of the American working class and the effects of it doing so. The damning indictment of the mainstream media that flows through No Longer Newsworthy is a wakeup call about the critical role of the media in telling news stories about labor unions, workers, and working-class readers. As Martin charts the decline of labor reporting from the late 1960s onwards, he reveals the shift in news coverage as...
Chris Martin
Chris Martin often dedicates his large-format compositions to esteemed and admired artist colleagues from the worlds of painting and music. Their names are written coarsely on the surface of the image right next to stuck-on coins, vinyl records, banana skins and newspaper articles.Despite the rough, utterly profane image surfaces, Martin's work picks up on various traditions of spiritual abstraction, for which New York, where Martin has lived since 1975, is a melting pot. This is the first comprehensive publication on his work, which breaks from all the laws of purity of Colour Field painting and monochrome painting and makes reference to Native American folklore, religious mysticism and anthroposophical symbols, as it does to the 'Spiritual Landscapes' of North American romanticism that are little known in Europe.This catalogue contains four essays and the transcription of an extensive conversation between Elodie Evers and the artist.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, 21 October 2011 – 15 January 2012.English and German text.
