Book excerpt: A photographic essay comprising more than 80 black and white gelatin silver prints of nude males (working class and models) from diverse South American countries, taken by prestigious art photographer Marcos Zimmermann (b. Argentina 1950) in their natural environment. Describing his work, Zimmermann comments: -"A series de of photographic portraits of men from 7 countries of South America stripped of their clothes and caught in their own worlds. Exposed to all, only with their physical attributes and the environment that defines them. Stripped of everything that covers them and surrounded only by the small things that protect them. And after all, isn't this double crudeness more in accordance with the image of a region as hard as the South American history?"-P. [1]. Marcos Zimmermann was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied cinema there at the National Institute of Cinematography's Experimental Centre. Since 1973 he was the still photographer in the Argentine and foreign films: Quebracho, La Raulito, Camila, Miss Mary, Les Longs Manteaux and many others. Since 1982 he created twelve photographic books. His photographs have been acquired by Manuel Alvarez Bravo for the Televisa Foundation A.C. in Mexico; by John Szarkowski for the Paine Webber Group Photographic Collection in New York; by Eikoh Hosoe for the Shadai Gallery de Tokio, by Anne Tucker for the colection of the Houston Museum of fine Arts, by Spencer Throckmorton Fine Art Gallery, by the Bank of America Collection and by numerous private collectors in Argentina, Peru, Japan, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Chile and the United States. His work is part of the collections of: Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Museum of Modern Art, both in Buenos Aires; The Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts and The Kyushu Sangyo Museum in Japan; The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston.

This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the important cultural responses to political and sociohistorical events in Latin America is a resurgence of urban photography, which typically blends high art and social documentary. But unlike other forms of cultural production in Latin America, photography has received relatively little sustained critical analysis. This pioneering book offers one of the first in-depth investigations of the complex and extensive history of gendered perspectives in Latin American photography through studies of works from Argentina, Mexico, and Guatemala. David William Foster examines the work of photographers ranging from the internationally acclaimed artists Graciela Iturbide, Pedro Meyer, and Marcos López to significant photographers whose work is largely unknown to English-speaking audiences. He grounds his essays in four interlocking areas of research: the experience of human life in urban environments, the feminist matrix and gendered cultural production, Jewish cultural production, and the ideological principles of cultural works and the connections between the works and the sociopolitical and historical contexts in which they were created. Foster reveals how gender-marked photography has contributed to the discourse surrounding the project of redemocratization in Argentina and Guatemala, as well as how it has illuminated human rights abuses in both countries. He also traces photography’s contributions to the evolution away from the masculinist-dominated post–1910 Revolution ideology in Mexico. This research convincingly demonstrates that Latin American photography merits the high level of respect that is routinely accorded to more canonical forms of cultural production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its independence in 1810 until the economic crisis of 2001, Argentina has been seen, in the national and international collective imaginary, as a modern country with a powerful economic system, a massive European immigrant population, an especially strong middle class, and an almost nonexistent indigenous culture. In some ways, the early history of Argentina strongly resembles that of the United States, with its march to the prairies and frontier ideology, the image of the cowboy as a national symbol (equivalent to the Argentine gaucho), the importance of the immigrant population, and the advanced and liberal ideas of the founding fathers. But did Argentine history truly follow a linear path toward modernization? How did photography help shape or deconstruct notions associated with Argentina? Photography in Argentina examines the complexities of this country’s history, stressing the heterogeneity of its realities, and especially the power of constructed pho-tographic images—that is, the practice of altering reality for artistic expression, an important vein in Argentine photography. Influential specialists from Argentina have contributed essays on various topics, such as the shaping of national myths, the adaptation of gesture as related to the “disappeared” during the dictatorship period, the role of contemporary photography in the context of recent sociopolitical events, and the reinterpreting of traditional notions of documentary photography in Argentina and the rest of Latin America.

Book excerpt: This collection of first-prize-winning Spanish-language short stories, Desnudos del alma (Nuevo Ser: Buenos Aires, 2004) by Marisa Estelrich, is masterfully translated to English by Graciela Lucero-Hammer. Amanda Powell, co-translator and editor of The Answer/ La Respuesta, states: "Marisa Estelrich takes her place among artists who work internationally in the best sense of the word, by embracing rather than erasing local and regional realities, and at the same time exploring a world literary inheritance. Her dreamdriven narratives are at home in the Americas, South and North, while they traverse as well the hemispheres of creativity and analysis. These oblique interrogations of power and pleasure let us know how much, and how little, the complicated descriptor "woman writer" matters. Graciela Lucero Hammer's deft and lucid translations show the plain-spoken at play with the phantasmagoric. We are fortunate to have these two fine writers offer us Desnudos del alma/Naked Souls."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraits of good battling evil in the geography of hell come in many forms in the Hispanic World. Apocalyptic nightmares, frightful images of chaos and death are inclusive and interrelated, yet simultaneously project an exceptional quality ("never seen or experienced before," "the mother of all battles," "I am the only one who can fix it"). This investigation explores how narrative logic may challenge unified notions of finalities when images remain unfulfilled in a proscribed End. By redeploying transglobal character and narrative potential, the Apocalypse suggests bewildering complexities as it trains its lens on New Beginnings. Here analysis explores resilient formulas for combating the End through resistance in Latin America, Spain and Latin@ communities in the US. Whether revealed through gilded illustrations, messianic chronicles, poetry, Baroque letters, racially-motivated novels, sexuality and spirituality in film or intimidating immigrant photos, apocalyptic examples explode notions of final moments. The Resilient Apocalypse ironically performs as both an internal defense (a vehicle for mourning) and a counter-discourse to power (a mechanism for resistance). This study argues for a strategy that listens to and keeps the enemy "in sight and in mind," a method for grappling with and engaging difference by decolonizing the politics of the End. It reformulates an incomplete, mythical, and uncanny narrative into a poetics of resistance with communal solutions and obligations. When the Apocalypse is unremittingly sought after to impose social justice, salvation and reason, it paradoxically introduces future hope against itself. In the works of Beato de Liebana, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Cirilo Villaverde, Cristina Garcia, Martin Kohan, Jennifer Maytorena Taylor, Santiago Roncagliolo, Alfonso Cuaron, etc., rival traditions internalize competing apocalyptic worldviews and arrive at sustainable plans of action for negotiating the afterward. By bracketing the finality of the End and proposing a tension between conflict archaeology and the transcendence of opposition through renovation, salvation or hope, this study reveals how plural, competing viewpoints of the End go a long way to legitimizing each other. Ultimately, The Resilient Apocalypse traces a compelling narrative theory of unfulfilled promise that forever changes the way we engage the other and value the self during intervals of fear.
