Mexico and the Spanish Cortes, 1810–1822
Few developments in the history of the Spanish colonial system in Mexico have been more carelessly treated or more often misinterpreted than the attempt to establish constitutional government in New Spain under the Spanish monarchy during the 1809–1814 and 1820–1822 periods. Yet the broad outlines of the Mexican constitutional system were laid then, largely through the insistent efforts of the Mexican deputies to the Cortes, the Spanish legislative body. Some of the delegates also grasped this opportunity to inform their countrymen and train them in the effectiveness of parliamentary debate and resolution as a more intelligent road to democratic and representative government.

Gilbert & George
En este ensayo sobre Gilbert & George se incide en el carácter transgresor de su obra, en su inconformismo con las ideas mayoritarias de su época: una obra que aprovecha cualquier elemento molesto para la sociedad o el mundo del arte. Cuestiones como la fusión del arte y el artista; el tratamiento abierto de su íntima relación con la bebida; la plasmación de la crueldad y la violencia como elementos constitutivos de la cotidianidad social; el aprecio por otras razas; la asunción del deseo homosexual por los jóvenes y la propia desnudez; las referencias a emblemas militaristas y signos políticos extremistas, o la representación del dolor y la desdicha con toda su crudeza. Temas que ...

Turns of the Global, The
When we talk about the geographical, ecological, ethnographic, historical, documentary, and cosmopolitan “turns” in relation to the work of practitioners of contempory art, what exactly do we mean? Are we talking about a “reading strategy”? About an interpretive model, as would be derived from the linguistic turn of the 1970s, or rather about a stratigraphic structure that could be read across multiple cultural practices? Do we wish to read one system by means of another system, in a way that one nurtures the other so that it can open us up to other forms of being? Or is it rather about a generative movement in which a new horizon emerges in the process, leaving behind the practice t...
