Decolonial Ecologies
In Decolonial Ecologies: The Reinvention of Natural History in Latin American Art, Joanna Page illuminates the ways in which contemporary artists in Latin America are reinventing historical methods of collecting, organizing, and displaying nature in order to develop new aesthetic and political perspectives on the past and the present. Page brings together an entirely new corpus of artistic projects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru that engage critically and creatively with forms as diverse as the medieval bestiary, baroque cabinets of curiosities, atlases created by European travellers to the New World, the floras and herbaria composed by eighteenth- and nin...
Conceptualism and Materiality
Conceptualism and Materiality. Matters of Art and Politics underscores the significance of materials and materiality within Conceptual art and conceptualism more broadly. It challenges the notion of conceptualism as an idea-centered, anti-materialist enterprise, and highlights the political implications thereof. The essays focus on the importance of material considerations for artists working during the 1960s and 1970s in different parts of the world. In reconsidering conceptualism’s neglected material aspects, the authors reveal the rich range of artistic inquiries into theoretical and political notions of matter and material. Their studies revise and diversify the account of this important chapter in the history of twentieth-century art - a reassessment that carries wider implications for the study of art and materiality in general .
Chto Delat
L'exposition du collectif russe Chto Delat (Que faire ?) est conçue comme une plate-forme auto-organisée pour diverses activités culturelles dans le but de politiser la production de connaissances. C'est un voyage à travers le vaste éventail multidisciplinaire qui constitue son travail, tout en passant en revue les questions qui animent sa pratique qui sont toutes des variantes de celle qui donne son nom au groupe : Que faire ? La réponse qu'ils ont trouvée jusqu'à présent pour naviguer dans le noir est la suivante : propager des modèles d'auto-éducation activiste qui reconnectent l'action politique, la pensée engagée et l'innovation artistique.
Los Olvidados
Los Olvidados (1950) established Luis Bunuel's reputation as a world-class director. Set in the slums of Mexico City, it follows the crime-filled and violent lives of group of juvenile delinquents. The film exhibits some of Bunuel's recognisable themes of love's yearnings, social injustice, and surrealism, but with a layer of compassion that sets it apart from many of his other films. In 2003, 'Los Olvidados' was inducted into UNESCO's Memory of the World programme, which preserves documentary heritage of world significance. Mark Polizzotti explores the historical context, aesthetic importance and biographical significance of the film, providing the first complete overview of 'Los Olvidados'...
The DNA, RNA, and Histone Methylomes
This book reviews the chemical, regulatory, and physiological mechanisms of protein arginine and lysine methyltransferases, as well as nucleic acid methylations and methylating enzymes. Protein and nucleic acid methylation play key and diverse roles in cellular signalling and regulating macromolecular cell functions. Protein arginine and lysine methyltransferases are the predominant enzymes that catalyse S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methylation of protein substrates. These enzymes catalyse a nucleophilic substitution of a methyl group to an arginine or lysine side chain nitrogen (N) atom. Cells also have additional protein methyltransferases, which target other amino acids in peptidy...
Las mujeres y los estudios del libro y la edición en Iberoamérica
¿Desde cuándo es posible hablar de mujeres en el mundo del libro? ¿Cómo la historia del libro latinoamericano ha narrado —o no— los aportes que ellas han hecho en el ámbito editorial? Durante siglos, las impresoras, editoras, tipógrafas, encuadernadoras y libreras han sido invisibilizadas o relegadas en los estudios sobre la edición. Esta obra, que reúne los trabajos de veintiocho investigadoras de distintas disciplinas, aborda casos, panoramas, problemas, metodologías y fuentes documentales, con el fin de valorar los diversos aspectos del papel que han tenido las mujeres en el mundo del libro en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, España, Guatemala, México, Perú, República Dominicana y Uruguay, entre los siglos XVII y XXI. En el marco de este campo, aún reciente y poco explorado, Las mujeres y los estudios del libro y la edición en Iberoamérica establece una línea de investigación con la que se espera incentivar futuras historias del libro y la edición de Latinoamérica, en las que, de forma articulada y sistemática, las voces de las mujeres sean incluidas, visibilizadas e iluminadas.
El largo camino a Xico

The publication includes several rare works in the United States and Brazil and an early participant in discourses around post-colonialism and ecology. Includes essays by the editor, Pedro de Llano, and TJ Demos, internationally recognized professor of art and visual culture at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and author of Decolonizing Nature: Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology (2016)."--Amazon.
La Panadería, 1994-2002
Throughout eight years of existence, La Panadería served Mexico City as a vibrant non-profit space for exhibitions, residencies, and cultural events involving local and international artists. This retrospective catalogue exists as a collective testimony on the artistic productions and exhibitions that resulted from the space, which was founded in 1994 in a former bakery by local artists Yoshua Okon and Miguel Calderón. La Panadería emphasized, by way of its inherent nature, the integration of eclectic marginal practices. Young artists were invited to exhibit video, photography, installation and performance-based works, but the space was also characterized by parties and concerts, reflecti...
L’Amérique latine en transformation
Depuis les transitions démocratiques des années 1980 en Amérique latine, les dynamiques politiques et les enjeux de citoyenneté ont été au coeur des débats. Cet ouvrage explore en profondeur les mutations de la relation complexe tissée entre l’État et la société, mettant en lumière les dynamiques des luttes pour l’inclusion de groupes populaires historiquement marginalisés. Du « virage à gauche » des années 2000 à la résurgence actuelle des forces conservatrices, l’analyse se déploie dans une série d’études de cas comparées, couvrant des pays tels que le Brésil, l’Argentine, le Chili, le Mexique, la Colombie, le Pérou, la Bolivie et la Jamaïque. Par cette perspective d’ensemble, les auteurs s’interrogent quant aux répercussions de ces transformations sur l’inclusion sociale et la construction des régimes de citoyenneté. En explorant à la fois les normes institutionnelles et les pratiques des mouvements sociaux, ils présentent une vision élargie du politique et des défis contemporains de la région en matière de démocratie et de gouvernance.
Agentas culturales del siglo XX. Desafíos de una gestión
A través de 20 ensayos de especialistas en el estudio de la producción, recepción y divulgación del arte, se devuelve la mirada a una pléyade de mujeres imprescindibles al frente, a los lados y detrás del arte que ejercieron políticas y prácticas ajenas a las posturas dominantes y cuya labor no siempre aparece en los catálogos o en los libros. Desde Inés Amor, María Asúnsolo, Lola Álvarez Bravo, las hermanas Pecanins, Lydia Sada de González, Márgara Garza Sada, Geles Cabrera Alvarado, Ángeles Espinosa Yglesias, Dolores Olmedo, Carmen Marín, Helen Escobedo, Sylvia Pandolfi, Margarita Nelken, Elisa Vargaslugo, Beatriz de la Fuente, Raquel Tibol, Ida Rodríguez Prampolini, Teresa del Conde y Juana Gutiérrez Haces hasta Graciela De la Torre, coordinadora de este proyecto, algunas de las "agentas" culturales imprescindibles en México se ponen de relieve en estas páginas dando cuenta del complejo proceso detrás de la existencia del objeto artístico.
