Mapping Violeta Parra’s Cultural Landscapes
One of the leading figures in Latin American folk music and art during her lifetime, Violeta Parra was a vital force in the artistic, musical, visual, cultural, and social cultural production of the Chilean 1960s. Fifty years after her death, she continues to deeply influence artists of the present day. This book revisits Parra’s work and legacy to illustrate her global impact across artistic and political boundaries. Contributors offer multi-disciplinary perspectives that delineate how Parra contributed to shaping and—at the same time—antagonizing, societal processes in mid-20th century Chile.
Violeta Parra’s Visual Art
This book explores Violeta Parra’s visual art, focusing on her embroideries (arpilleras), paintings, papier-mâché collages and sculptures. Parra is one of Chile’s great artists and musicians, yet her visual art is relatively unknown. Her fusion of complex imagery from Chilean folk music and culture with archetypes in Western art results in a hybrid body of work. Parra’s hybridism is the story of this book, in which Dillon explores Parra’s ‘painted songs’, the ekphrastic nature of her creations and the way ideas translate from her music and poetry into her visual art. The book identifies three intellectual currents in Parra’s art: its relationship to motifs from Chilean popula...

Dismantling the Nation
The first academic volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices and culture from Chile in the English language, Dismantling the Nation takes as its point of departure a radical criticism against the nation-state of Chile and its colonial, capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule, proposing otherwise forms of inhabiting, creating, and relating in a more fluid, contingent, ecocritical, feminist, and caring worlds. From the case of Chile, the book expands the scholarly discussion around decolonial methodologies, attending to artistic practices and discourses from distinct and distant locations-from Arica and the Atacama Desert to Wallmapu and Tierra del Fuego, an...

Txayenko
El emocionante ejercicio de memoria de una protagonista indiscutible del Chile actual. Elisa Loncon ha querido en este libro narrar su trayectoria vital, una que comenzó en el Wallmapu, durante la reforma agraria y que despegó, luego de su paso por la escuela en Traiguén (no sin dificultades), con sus estudios universitarios, iniciando una ascendente carrera académica que tuvo como eje las indagaciones sobre su lengua materna como fenómeno vivo, pasando episodios memorables y recorriendo diversos países y sociedades descubriendo saberes y experiencias similares. De este modo, acompañamos a la autora en travesías por Canadá, México y Holanda, experiencias decisivas que llevaron a un...
Historia crítica de la literatura chilena
El Reino de Chile se caracterizó por la precariedad material y de la vida cultural en general. Este rasgo nos devuelve una producción escritural más alejada de la influencia cortesana, y aun de lo urbano, y más marcada por lo contingente y lo urgente, lo que en sí mismo constituye una huella identitaria.
Law and the Epistemologies of the South

The Routledge Handbook of Social Studies of Outer Space
The Routledge Handbook of Social Studies of Outer Space offers state-of-the-art overview of contemporary social and cultural research on outer space.

The Handbook is a call to attend more carefully to engagements with outer space, empirically, affectively, and theoretically, while characterizing current research practices and outlining future research agendas. This recalibration opens profound questions of intersectional politics,...
