Toward the middle of the 1950s, abstract art became a dominant trend in the Latin American cultural scene. Many artists incorporated elements of abstraction into their rigorous artistic vocabularies, while at the same time, the representation of geometric lines and structures filtered into everyday life, appearing in textiles, posters, murals, and landscapes. The translation of a field-changing Spanish-language book, Abstract Crossings analyzes the relationship between, on the one hand, the emergence of abstract proposals in avant-garde groups and, on the other, the institutionalization and newfound hegemony of abstract poetics as part of Latin America’s imaginary of modernization. A profu...
Contextualiza el estudio de los experimentos poéticos breves para facilitar el diseño de aulas creativas que puedan pensarse a contrapelo del cañon y de las dinámicas convencionales de trabajo con los contenidos. Las propuestas que se presentan son ejemplificadoras, opciones posibles, aperturas y formaron parte de la evaluación final del Seminario Poéticas de la brevedad. Cada docente eligió qué contenidos explorar, cómo vincularlos y qué forma visual (un objeto creativo tridimensional) adquiriría esa vinculación. Se organizaron en función de temas/problemas y géneros. Los recorridos, lanzados como boomerangs, hacen intervenir: microficciones con reescrituras cinematográficas, la brevedad en imágenes comparadas y loops lúdico-poéticos ¿breves? Se propone un entrecruzamiento de actividades lúdicas en relación a las microficciones, performance y otros géneros que habilitan, incluso, atractivos acercamientos para la didáctica de la lengua y la literatura y para la didáctica de las artes.

Una tensión domina el período que se extiende desde la caída de los gobiernos populistas hasta "la conciencia trágica del subdesarrollo" que Latinoamérica asume en los años 60: la que oscila entre la búsqueda de un refugio privado y la asunción del compromiso político. Esas alternativas enmarcan el boom en la década inmediatamente posterior a la Revolución Cubana, fenómeno estrictamente contemporáneo de la Teoría de la Dependencia que clausuró con un diagnóstico desolador el entusiasmo desarrollista iniciado hacia mitad del siglo. Así, a los ensayos optimistas de Raúl Prebisch y Celso Furtado les responden los textos desencantados de Fernando Henrique Cardoso y Theotônio d...
This proposed study examines the potential use of satellite passive microwave rainfall measurements derived from Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) radiometers onboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) constellation to improve eastern North Pacific Ocean tropical cyclone intensity change forecasting techniques. Relationships between parameters obtained from an operational SSM/I-based rainfall measuring algorithm and 12-, 24-, 36-, 48-, 60- and 72-hour intensity changes from best track data records are examined in an effort to identify statistically significant predictors of intensity change. Correlations between rainfall parameters and intensity change are analyzed usi...

The definitive study of Visual Poetry and Avant Garde arts from Argentina.
A woman’s feminist awakening drives a hypocritical village to madness in rural Uruguay in this "wild, brutal paean to freedom" (NPR.org). Shortlisted for the National Translation Award "Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated." —NPR.org “A surreal, nightmarish book about women’s struggle for autonomy—and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties When The Naked Woman was originally published in 1950, critics doubted a woman writer could be responsible for its shocking erotic content. In this searing critique of Enlightenment values, fantastic themes are juxtaposed with brutal depictions of misogyny and violence, and frantically build to a fiery conclusion. Finally available to an English-speaking audience, Armonía Somers will resonate with readers of Clarice Lispector, Djuna Barnes, and Leonora Carrington.
"This collection of essays explores the multimodality of the work of Jazz-era New York saloniere, painter, and poet Florine Stettheimer, allowing readers to discover why Andy Warhol once called her his favourite artist. Florine Stettheimer: New Directions in Multimodal Modernism brings to light the prescient theorizing of a dissolution between high and low art that Stettheimer's highly original and boldly interdisciplinary aesthetic pioneered and that artists like Marcel Duchamp, Georgia O'Keeffe and Warhol understood and admired. Conceived of as a companion collection to the 2010 edition of Stettheimer's Crystal Flowers: Poems and a Libretto, this book considers the paintings, poetry, set d...
