Chile Underground
A fascinating historical examination of the Santiago Metro system as a microcosm of Chilean national identity during the twentieth century The Santiago Metro, the largest urban infrastructure project in Chile’s history, was designed in the 1960s in response to rapid urban growth. Despite the upheavals of Salvador Allende’s democratic socialism (1970–1973) and Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship (1973–1990), the project survived and is now the largest metro system in South America.

The book will appeal to all people wanting to understand how poeti...
Italian Imprints on Twentieth-Century Architecture
Italian architecture has long exerted a special influence on the evolution of architectural ideas elsewhere - from the Beaux-Arts academy's veneration of Rome, to modernist and postmodern interest in Renaissance proportion, Baroque space, and Mannerist ambiguity. This book critically examines this enduring phenomenon, exploring the privileged position of Italian architects, architecture, and cities in the architectural culture of the past century. Questioning the deep-rooted myth of Italy within architectural history, the book presents case studies of Italy's powerful yet problematic position in 20th-century architectural ideologies, at a time when established Eurocentric narratives are righ...

Intercambios trasandinos
Los trabajos reunidos en este libro fueron escritos por un nutrido grupo de especialistas y se organizan en tres ejes: “Viajes y tránsitos”, “Poéticas y posicionamientos” y “Redes e instituciones”. En ellos se abordan cuestiones como la geopolítica y la construcción simbólica del paisaje; la institucionalidad, los proyectos alternativos y las exposiciones como dispositivos para reflexionar sobre lo regional; el rol de las imágenes en las tramas de la política, entre fervores revolucionarios, dictaduras, exilios y recuperación democrática; las técnicas, tecnologías y materialidades de la producción artística; el género, el cuerpo y los discursos sobre el arte producido por mujeres; los relatos y las fuentes de la historiografía del arte, y los desplazamientos regionales e internacionales de artistas y obras.
