Globalizing the Avant-Garde
How has the process of globalization shaped artistic practices on the one hand, and art history and theory on the other? The contributions in this volume approach this question from a range of perspectives, taking into account the role of travel, for example, or practitioners’ increasing knowledge of other cultures, art’s increasing awareness of itself as existing on a global level, literary translation, the advance of technology, and the ever-changing grand narratives of art history. As well as reflections on European avant-gardes and neo-avant-gardes, the collection features discussions of Japan, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. As a whole, the volume engages with broader current discourses about cultural globalization, and features input from leading scholars around the world as well as some important novel interventions by early-career researchers. The authors not only make a major contribution to the evolution of avant-garde studies, but also offer valuable, original points of view to art history and to the cultural theory of globalization more broadly.
Arrival Cities
Exile and migration played a critical role in the diffusion and development of modernism around the globe, yet have long remained largely understudied phenomena within art historiography. Focusing on the intersections of exile, artistic practice and urban space, this volume brings together contributions by international researchers committed to revising the historiography of modern art. It pays particular attention to metropolitan areas that were settled by migrant artists in the first half of the 20th century. These arrival cities developed into hubs of artistic activities and transcultural contact zones where ideas circulated, collaborations emerged, and concepts developed. Taking six majo...

Transnational Belonging and Female Agency in the Arts
Transnational Belonging and Female Agency in the Arts interrogates the politics of space expressed via womxn's artistic practices, which prioritise solidarity and collaboration across borders, imagining attentive geographies of difference. It considers belonging as a manifestation of processes of becoming that traverse borders and generate new spaces and forms of difference. In doing so, the book aims to catalyse mutual social relations founded upon responsibility and response-ability to each other. The transnational framework activates concerns around belonging at a time of intensified divisions, partitioning global narratives, unequal trajectories and increasing violence against bodies of ...
Transnational Perspectives on Feminism and Art, 1960-1985
Transnational Perspecives on Feminism and Art, 1960–1985 is a collection of essential essays that bring transnational feminist praxis into conversation with histories of feminist art in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. The artistic practices and processes examined within these pages all centre on gender and sexual politics as they variously intersect with race, class, sovereignty, Indigeneity, citizenship, and migration at particular historical moments and within specific geopolitical contexts. The book’s central premise is that reconsidering this period from transnational feminist perspectives will enable new thinking about the critical commonalities and differences across heterogeneous and geographically dispersed practices that have contributed to the complex and multifaceted relationship between feminism and art today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural studies, visual culture, material culture, and gender studies.
Obra Poética 1957-1994
«Este livro impulsa o acréscimo de visibilidade de Salette Tavares com a reunião quase exaustiva (nunca se sabe onde se esconderão mais alguns poemas...) da sua poesia.» In Prefácio, de Catherine Dumas. «Salette Tavares (...) começou por se destacar na década de 1960, no contexto da Poesia Experimental. Enformada por uma continuada reflexão teórica, a sua obra cruza a produção literária e a prática artística, através de uma exploração tridimensional à qual deu o nome de «Poesia espacial». “A terra é uma esfera suspensa”, este verso de Lex Icon exprime bem o conceito do experimentalismo ao qual a poeta se dedica. Toda a estética de Salette Tavares é condicionada pelo inacabado do sentido. A sua obra configura uma cosmogonia poética do por acontecer, por descobrir, do eco sonoro e semântico que nunca acaba, duma surrealidade intrínseca.» In contracapa
O arquitecto azul
“E é desse modo que percebemos então que este livro nos oferece, fruto de uma visão simultaneamente lúcida e apaixonada, um olhar sobre nós próprios, sobre as vicissitudes da Arquitetura, como arte, como disciplina, mas, sobretudo, como instrumento transformador da realidade. Do pop ao neo-vernacular, da metáfora irónica à revalorização semântica, do oxímoro à alusão escarrapachada, tudo encontra, neste livro de Jorge Figueira, o seu lugar próprio, tudo se rende a princípios de reflexão que, em última análise e por conveniência, se encontram alojados na hospedaria da poética. Há uma proximidade quase familiar para com os temas tratados, mas não há cedências à rec...
