2015
The special issue of International Yearbook of Futurism Studies for 2015 will investigate the role of Futurism in the œuvre of a number of Women artists and writers. These include a number of women actively supporting Futurism (e.g. Růžena Zátková, Edyth von Haynau, Olga Rozanova, Eva Kühn), others periodically involved with the movement (e.g. Valentine de Saint Point, Aleksandra Ekster, Mary Swanzy), others again inspired only by certain aspects of the movement (e.g. Natalia Goncharova, Alice Bailly, Giovanna Klien). Several artists operated on the margins of a Futurist inspired aesthetics, but they felt attracted to Futurism because of its support for women artists or because of its ...
Transatlantic Encounters
Paris was the artistic capital of the world in the 1920s and '30s, providing a home and community for the French and international avant-garde. Latin American artists contributed to and reinterpreted nearly every major modernist movement that took place in the creative center of Paris between World War I and World War II, including Cubism (Diego Rivera), Surrealism (Antonio Berni and Roberto Matta), and Constructivism (Joaquin Torres-Garcia). Yet their participation in the Paris art scene has remained largely overlooked until now. This book examines their collective role, surveying the work of both household names and an extraordinary array of lesser-known artists. Michele Greet illuminates the significant ways in which Latin American expatriates helped establish modernism and, conversely, how a Parisian environment influenced the development of Latin American artistic identity.
Painting Borges
In this groundbreaking book, Jorge J. E. Gracia explores the artistic interpretation of fiction from a philosophical perspective. Focusing on the work of Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most celebrated literary figures of Latin America, Gracia offers original interpretations of twelve of Borges's most famous stories about identity and memory, freedom and destiny, and faith and divinity. He also examines twenty-four artistic interpretations of these stories—two for each—by contemporary Argentinean and Cuban artists such as Carlos Estévez, León Ferrari, Mirta Kupferminc, Nicolás Menza, and Estela Pereda. This philosophical exploration of how artists have interpreted literature contributes to both aesthetics and hermeneutics, makes new inroads into the understanding of Borges's work, and introduces readers to two of the most vibrant artistic currents today. Color images of the artworks discussed are included.
Norah Borges
This is the first book to give an overview of Norah Borges’s artistic output as whole. This is important as other studies have limited themselves to her work as an illustrator or have focussed wholly on her early works. It contains 30 images of her work, which will allow readers to gain a sense of the changes in her style. This is the first book-length study of Norah Borges to be written in English, which opens up her works to a non Spanish-speaking audience for the first time.

El arte español fuera de España
En noviembre del 2002 y bajo el título de El arte español fuera de España, se celebraron en Madrid las XI Jornadas de Arte, primera convocatoria de la nueva centuria y, al mismo tiempo, undécima de la serie de un congreso que, con carácter bienal y diferentes propuestas de análisis y reflexión sobre la Historia del Arte, viene organizando el Departamento de Historia del Arte del Instituto de Historia del CSIC, desde comienzos de los pasados años ochenta. El presente volumen colectivo, en consecuencia, recoge los trabajos que se presentaron en la edición del congreso, singularizando -dado el propio tema propuesto- por la entusiasta participación extranjera.
El arte foráneo en España
Se recogen en este volumen colectivo las contribuciones que se presentaron a las XII Jornadas Internacionales de Historia del Arte organizadas en el Instituto de Historia del CSIC en noviembre de 2004. El tema de la convocatoria fue la presencia y la influencia del arte foráneo en la configuración de la realidad artística y creativa española a lo largo de su historia. Las contribuciones se sistematizan en las tres secciones que estructuraron las reflexiones expuestas durante la celebración del congreso: presencia e influencia de los artistas foráneos, de las obras foráneas y de los estudios foráneos.
Großstädte transkulturell erzählen
Das Narrativ der Textstadt «Buenos Paris Aires» stellt ein wirklichkeits-, identitäts- und kollektivstiftendes Erzählmuster in argentinischen und französischen Stadttexten unterschiedlicher Gattungen und Medien dar, welches die Studie erstmals erforscht. Vor dem Hintergrund der über 200-jährigen französisch-argentinischen Geschichte geht es zunächst um die Entstehung und Entwicklung des Narrativs (Präfiguration). Darüber hinaus werden am Beispiel der Textstadt Buenos Paris Aires die Eigenschaften transkultureller Stadttexte sowie die Formen und Funktionen ihrer Textstädte aufgezeigt (Konfiguration). Weiterhin stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern die fiktiven Textstädte auf die realen Städte und Kulturen zurückwirken (Refiguration). Das Narrativ der Textstadt Buenos Paris Aires reist als travelling narrative zwischen den Kulturräumen und trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, die französisch-argentinischen Beziehungen sowie die Identität und das Gedächtnis der beteiligten Kulturgemeinschaften zu verstehen, die sich mit dem Narrativ der Textstadt als imaginierte Erzähl- und Erinnerungsgemeinschaften konsolidieren.
