Pre-Columbian Foodways
The significance of food and feasting to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures has been extensively studied by archaeologists, anthropologists and art historians. Foodways studies have been critical to our understanding of early agriculture, political economies, and the domestication and management of plants and animals. Scholars from diverse fields have explored the symbolic complexity of food and its preparation, as well as the social importance of feasting in contemporary and historical societies. This book unites these disciplinary perspectives — from the social and biological sciences to art history and epigraphy — creating a work comprehensive in scope, which reveals our increasing u...

Escrituras de la catástrofe
El presente volumen incluye seis capítulos que piensan desde el arte formas, no solo de interrogar las tecnologías de gubernamentalidad, los nuevos modos de guerra y la gestión de la vida-muerte, sino también las dimenciones afectivas de estar en complicidad con otros de cara a la catástrofe, o más bien haciéndose cargo de la densidad semántica de ella. Los trabajos aquí reunidos hace inteligible algunos de los hilos de un dispositivo que podríamos llamar de acumulación y de excedencia -concentrar capital, desechar lo sobrante- que se basa en la invasión de la vida y en la gestión espectacular y grotesca de la muerte. En este sentido, muestran parte de la madeja, de las formas que adquiere las tecnologías de poder y las tecnologías disciplinarias de un capitalismo tardío. También abren un diálogo y, con él, la posibilidad de pensar y de emplazarse, por vía del arte y de la escritura, en la producción de subjetividades y de pequeñas resistencias discursivas ante los afectos de la maquinaria de dominación.
La fotografía ha muerto, ¡viva la fotografía!
En un momento de evolución tecnológica provocada por el cambio hacia lo digital, este libro interroga el desplazamiento de la naturaleza ontológica de la fotografía: qué ha sido ésta como imagen técnica y cómo las nuevas tecnologías han afectado sus modos de producción, difusión y comprensión. La técnica no sólo ha sido el fundamento de la sintaxis fotográfica, sino la base de su paradójica función como ciencia, arte, lenguaje e ilusión.
Diego Rivera
In 1931, Diego Rivera was the subject of The Museum of Modern Art's second monographic exhibition, which set attendance records in its five-week run. The Museum brought Rivera to NewYork six weeks before the opening and provided him a studio space in the building. There he produced five 'portable murals' - large blocks of frescoed plaster, slaked lime and wood that feature bold images drawn from Mexican subject matter and address themes of revolution and class inequity. After the opening, to great publicity, Rivera added three more murals, taking on NewYork subjects through monumental images of the urban working class. Published in conjunction with an exhibition that brings together key works from Rivera's 1931 show and related material, this vividly illustrated catalogue casts the artist as a highly cosmopolitan figure who moved between Russia, Mexico and the United States and examines the intersection of art-making and radical politics in the 1930s.
Retratos

Bretos, Carolyn Kinder Carr et al.A landmark survey of Latin American portraiture and its powerful significance throughout historyThe tradition of portraiture in Latin America is astonishingly long and rich.

Les Indiens et la nation au Mexique
Les populations autochtones du Mexique sont souvent regardées comme les dernières des survivantes, ou des résistantes, face à l'occidentalisation et à la globalisation. Cette représentation repose sur l'idée que la frontière censée les séparer du reste de la société va de soi. Or, une enquête d'ethnographie historique menée dans un arrondissement rural de Mexico, considéré du XVIIe siècle aux premières années du XXIe, démontre que la "culture" ou "l'identité" de ces groupes n'est pas une question d'origines, mais de positions dans un champ d'identification qui varie d'une époque à l'autre, et dont l'Etat-nation est un déterminant. Le raisonnement anthropologique permet de dépasser le langage de ce dernier, celui des institutions, de la législation, des politiques publiques, pour traiter des interactions sociales concrètes, historiquement situées, au cours desquelles sont produites les différentes manières de définir (ou d'auto-définir) ce que signifie être autochtone Sont ainsi rassemblés dans un même horizon analytique deux objets d'étude habituellement pensés de manière indépendante, voire antagonique : l'Etat-nation et les Indiens.
Diego Rivera
This second part extends from the illustrious words of DiegoRivera returned to Mexico in June 1921 until his death. After spending nearly fourteen years in Europe reached a Mexico in the middle stage of reconstruction, in which the revolutionary leaders who emerged triumphant arms had changed by the speeches and promises of change. Devourer of news from any part of the cultural and politicalspectrum, the artist not only brought with them their knowledge of the European avant-garde but the desire to put in writing theirviews on art, politics and the works of his contemporaries. Wroteabout himself, and much, but over all artistic expression to callyour attention. He wrote much as he painted, with the sameexpressive power with the same passion. Urgent verbal reactionsto their own works, to put forward the social function of art andartistic creators call to form a united front to the side of the peasants and workers. Along with the works presented areexcerpts from texts that reflected the painter left his aesthetic ideas. In this book the reader can enjoy a little spread DiegoRivera, to which we must not only see but also read.
