Decolonising the Museum
Explores the scope that there is for Indigenous curatorial agency in the relationship of Indigenous contemporary art with the 'art world'.
Arts in the Margins of World Encounters
'Arts in the Margins of World Encounters' presents original contributions that deal with artworks of differently marginalized people—such as ethnic minorities, refugees, immigrants, disabled people, and descendants of slaves—, a wide variety of art forms—like clay figures, textile, paintings, poems, museum exhibits and theatre performances—, and original data based on committed, long-term fieldwork and/or archival research in Brazil, Martinique, Rwanda, India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The volume develops theoretical approaches inspired by innovative theorists and is based on currently debated analytical categories including the ethnographic turn in contemporary art, polycentric aesthetics, and aesthetic cannibalization, among others. This collection also incorporates fascinating and intriguing contemporary cases, but with solid theoretical arguments and grounds. 'Arts in the Margins of World Encounters' will appeal to students at all levels, scholars, and practitioners in arts, aesthetics, anthropology, social inequality, and discrimination, as well as researchers in other fields, including post-colonialism and cultural organizations.
Global Art in Local Art Worlds
This book explores the attribution and local negotiation of cultural valuations of artistic and art-institutional practices around the world, and considers the diverse ways in which these value attributions intersect with claims of universality and cosmopolitanism. Taking Michael Herzfeld’s notion of the “global hierarchy of value” as point of departure, the volume brings together six empirical studies of the collection, circulation, classification and exhibition of objects in present-day Brazil, China, India, Japan, South Africa and Indigenous Australia in light of Europe’s loss of global hegemony. Including reflections by a number of senior scholars, the chapters demonstrate that the question of valuation lies at the heart of artistic and art-institutional practices writ large – including museum practices, museum architecture, galleries, auction houses, art fairs and biennales.
Indigenous and African Diaspora Religions in the Americas
Indigenous and African Diaspora Religions in the Americas explores spirit-based religious traditions across vast geographical and cultural expanses, including Canada, the United States, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. Using interdisciplinary research methods, this collection of original perspectives breaks new ground by examining these traditions as typologically and historically related. This curated selection of the traditions allows readers to compare and highlight convergences, while the description and comparison of the traditions challenges colonial erasures and expands knowledge about endangered cultures. The inclusion of spirit-bas...

The Expanding World Ayahuasca Diaspora
During its expansion from the Amazon jungle to Western societies, ayahuasca use has encountered different legal and cultural responses. Following on from the earlier edited collection, The Expanding World Ayahuasca Diaspora continues to explore how certain alternative global religious groups, shamanic tourism industries and recreational drug milieus grounded in the consumption of the traditionally Amazonian psychoactive drink ayahuasca embody various challenges associated with modern societies. Each contributor explores the symbolic effects of a "bureaucratization of enchantment" in religious practice, and the "sanitizing" of indigenous rituals for tourist markets. Chapters include ethnograp...
O Brasil best seller de Jorge Amado
Discute temas acerca da construção da identidade nacional brasileira, a mestiçagem. Com uma teoria que aproxima antropologia e estudos literários a autora dialoga com o universo da convivência harmoniosa, mas também da violência no qual os personagens de Jorge Amado, o cotidiano da cidade de Salvador e a imagem do próprio escrito se sobrepõem. Difícil é distinguir mito e realidade.
Nuevos diálogos
Nuevos diálogos: Asia y África desde la mirada latinoamericana es un libro que resalta sus cualidades en un propio título, haciendo de sí mismo una invitación doble al lector: hace coincidir en el espacio de la difusión del saber una aproximación actualizada y multidisciplinar sobre los estudios que, en los ámbitos local y continental, se están gestando acerca de África y Asia, al tiempo que representa un matiz ilustrativo de los intereses y los problemas que conducen a la comunidad académica latinoamericana a explorar ambas constelaciones geográficas y culturales

Historia comparada de las literaturas argentina y brasileña - Tomo VI
Este sexto y último tomo de la Historia comparada de las literaturas argentina y brasileña se ocupa del período que se extiende entre 1970 y 2010. Este momento de la historia se corresponde a la expansión y consolidación de varios fenómenos que se difundieron a través de las industrias culturales en auge. De ese amplio catálogo participan la crítica instalada como género, los coletazos del boom de los 60 que redundan en el despliegue de un público lector creciente (con Cortázar y Amado como autores emblemáticos), la historieta en tanto cruce de códigos que da cuenta del contexto social y político (Mafalda y Mónica) y el cine que abandona los cánones comerciales para alternar...
