An América Latina y en Colombia existen colectivos, organizaciones sociales y comunidades que, en muchos casos de manera empírica, han hecho de los lenguajes audiovisuales un recurso clave de acción social, política y cultural. Son procesos expresivos y creativos de largo aliento en los que se aprovechan diferentes lenguajes artísticos (trova, teatro, música, danza, etc.) y estrategias comunicativas (cineclubes, festivales o muestras de cine y video, materiales impresos, espacios en internet, etc.) para afirmar las capacidades políticas de los sujetos, vincularlos a acciones colectivamente concertadas, crear o fortalecer la memoria común, visibilizar personas y experiencias significa...
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...

When Richard Steele remarked that the greatest Evils in human Society are such as no Law can come at, he was not able to forsee the spectacular success of John Gay's satire of society, the administration of law and crime, politics, the Italian opera and other topics. Gay's The Beggar's Opera, with its mixture of witty dialogue and popular songs, was imitated by 18th century writers, criticized by those on the seats of power, but remained a favourite of the English theatre public ever since. With N. Playfair's 1920 revival and B. Brecht's and K. Weill's 1928 Dreigroschenoper, Gay's play has been a starting-point for dramatists such as V. Havel (Zebrácká opera, 1975), W. Soyinka (Opera Wonyo...

Le opere della prestigiosa collezione di arte contemporanea di François Pinault, esposte contemporaneamente a Punta della Dogana e a Palazzo Grassi. Il catalogo dell'esposizione inaugurale, curata da Alison Gingeras e Francesco Bonami, che coinvolgerà simultaneamente Punta della Dogana e Palazzo Grassi, presentando le opere in armonia con le caratteristiche e l'atmosfera di ciascuno spazio: un'indagine più intima, privata, da una parte, e uno sguardo rivolto al mondo esterno dall'altra. Insieme le due parti dell'esposizione daranno vita a un dialogo tra artisti di diverse generazioni, offrendo una molteplicità di espressioni e sensibilità. A nomi storici quali Penone, Cattelan, Hirst sono affiancati quelli di giovani artisti come Urs Fischer, Piotr Uklanski e Rudolf Stingel, introdotti da saggi degli stessi Bonami e Gingeras.
