Ephemeral Histories
Politics under Salvador Allende was a battle fought in the streets. Everyday attempts to “ganar la calle” allowed a wide range of urban residents to voice potent political opinions. Santiaguinos marched through the streets chanting slogans, seized public squares, and plastered city walls with graffiti, posters, and murals. Urban art might only last a few hours or a day before being torn down or painted over, but such activism allowed a wide range of city dwellers to participate in the national political arena. These popular political strategies were developed under democracy, only to be reimagined under the Pinochet dictatorship. Ephemeral Histories places urban conflict at the heart of Chilean history, exploring how marches and protests, posters and murals, documentary film and street photography, became the basis of a new form of political change in Latin America in the late twentieth century.
Design(s) for Law
Legal design has been with us for over a decade. Its core idea, i.e. to use design methods to make the world of law accessible to all, has been widely embraced by academics, researchers, and professionals. Over time, the field has grown, expanding its initial problem-solving approach to other dimensions of design, such as speculative design, design fiction, proactive law, and disciplines like cognitive science and philosophy. The book presents a state-of-the-art reflection on legal design evolution and applications. It features twelve insightful contributions discussed during the 2023 'Legal Design Roundtable' on 'Design(s) for Law', organised within the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet clinic on 'EU Digital Rights, Law, and Design'. These perspectives from academics and professionals add important nuances to the literature, either presenting new approaches, applying consolidated practices to new contexts and areas, or showcasing actual and potential applications. Ideal for academics, legal professionals, and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in new critical approaches to the law and in the creative construction of fairer and more human-friendly legal systems.
The Walls of Santiago
A photo-illustrated record of Chilean protest art, along with reflections on artistic antecedents, global protest movements, and the long shadow cast by Chile’s authoritarian past. From October 2019 until the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, Chile was convulsed by protests and political upheaval, as what began as civil disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement. Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities. Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with ove...
Dematerialization
Dematerialization examines the intertwined experimental practices and critical discourses of art and industrial design in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile in the 1960s and 1970s. Provocative in nature, this book investigates the way that artists, critics, and designers considered the relationship between the crisis of the modernist concept of artistic medium and the radical social transformation brought about by the accelerated capitalist development of the preceding decades. Beginning with Oscar Masotta’s sui generis definition of the term, Karen Benezra proposes dematerialization as a concept that allows us to see how disputes over the materiality of the art and design object functioned in order to address questions concerning the role of appearance, myth, and ideology in the dynamic logic structuring social relations in contemporary discussions of aesthetics, artistic collectivism, and industrial design. Dematerialization brings new insights to the fields of contemporary art history, critical theory, and Latin American cultural studies.

The Immorality Act
South Africa, 1980 Julia, an English teenager, moves to the small town of Pietermaritzburg during the height of apartheid. A few weeks after her arrival, during a school visit to Macrorie Mansion—a Victorian house with its own resident ghost—, Julia meets Andrew and Lungile in the most unexpected way. This chance encounter sparks a friendship between the three teenagers, one that defies the odds and profoundly shapes their lives over the years. The novel’s plot, centered on these three protagonists, offers a vivid portrait of the unsung individuals who resisted institutionalized racism —sometimes even as participants in the system— by wielding the quiet power of everyday actions.

Puño y letra
Designer and academic Castillo Espinoza examines the history, the political and social context and the meaning of the popular graphic art with ideological purposes in Chile. This artistic expression has taken over the public spaces (walls and other structures) and throughout the creativity of specialists capable of creating political propaganda formats, such as printers, painters and designers has develop into a cultural patrimony that represents the collective memory left by the various subversive brigades in past social movements.

Poderosas
Este libro se ocupa de un conjunto de imágenes originadas en la sociedad civil, que hicieron visible la angustiosa situación de personas e identidades políticas perseguidas, reprimidas y silenciadas por la dictadura. Postula que dichas imágenes surgieron como respuesta al autoritarismo y suscitaron emociones, removieron conciencias, desplegaron significados, detonaron pensamiento crítico y se convirtieron en un testimonio visual de acontecimientos que los perpetradores habían intentado borrar o velar.
