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.
Sensing Decolonial Aesthetics in Latin American Arts
Bringing Latin American popular art out of the margins and into the center of serious scholarship, this book rethinks the cultural canon and recovers previously undervalued cultural forms as art. Juan Ramos uses "decolonial aesthetics," a theory that frees the idea of art from Eurocentric forms of expression and philosophies of the beautiful, to examine the long decade of the 1960s in Latin America--a time of cultural production that has not been studied extensively from a decolonial perspective. Ramos looks at examples of "antipoetry," unconventional verse that challenges canonical poets and often addresses urgent social concerns. He analyzes the militant popular songs of nueva canción by ...

Recollections of a Tejano Life
San Antonio native, military veteran, merchant, and mayor pro tem José Antonio Menchaca (1800–1879) was one of only a few Tejano leaders to leave behind an extensive manuscript of recollections. Portions of the document were published in 1907, followed by a “corrected” edition in 1937, but the complete work could not be published without painstaking reconstruction. At last available in its entirety, Menchaca’s book of reminiscences captures the social life, people, and events that shaped the history of Texas’s tumultuous transformation during his lifetime. Highlighting not only Menchaca’s acclaimed military service but also his vigorous defense of Tejanos’ rights, dignity, and...
Afiches de teatro
Desde su misma fundación en 1943, el Teatro de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile ha producido afiches como forma de publicitar sus distintas representaciones escénicas. Objetos gráficos que han sido colocados en espacios públicos o especializados, pero que también han sido ordenados, catalogados y exhibidos hasta ser convertidos en elementos patrimoniales más allá de sus originales funciones comunicativas. Desde allí que el presente libro, hecho de entradas críticas –sin afán cronológico– responda a una elaboración interpretativa y comprensiva de la multiplicidad de las utilizaciones a las que ha sido sometido este fenómeno cultural. Acá comparecen desde cuestiones epistemológicas hasta asuntos informativos de toda índole, cuyo propósito es tanto exponer una trayectoria determinada como presentar las posibilidades que prolonguen las problemáticas esbozadas en esta investigación fundacional.
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.

Popular and Visual Culture
Popular and Visual Culture: Design, Circulation and Consumption is a transnational project that fosters a dialogue with multiple origins, both in geographical and academic terms. From the onset, this book questions the concepts of visual and popular culture, terms which are currently applied both to describe scientific fields, as operative concepts in theoretical discourse, and to characterize specific cultural contexts. The book’s analysis and categorization of visual and popular culture pursues discourses and practices which mark different historical eras and shape social orders. Because popular iconic and written productions are the outcome of a network of political, economic, ideologic...
