Download or read book The Aesthetics of Rule and Resistance written by Lisa Bogerts and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective visual communication has become an essential strategy for grassroots political activists, who use images to publicly express resistance and make their claims visible in the struggle for political power. However, this “aesthetics of resistance” is also employed by political and economic elites for their own purposes, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish from the “aesthetics of rule.” Through illuminating case studies of street art in Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Caracas, and Mexico City, The Aesthetics of Rule and Resistance explores the visual strategies of persuasion and meaning-making employed by both rulers and resisters to foster self-legitimization, identification, and mobilization.

Download or read book Political Street Art written by Holly Eva Ryan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent global events, including the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings, Occupy movements and anti-austerity protests across Europe have renewed scholarly and public interest in collective action, protest strategies and activist subcultures. We know that social movements do not just contest and politicise culture, they create it too. However, scholars working within international politics and social movement studies have been relatively inattentive to the manifold political mediations of graffiti, muralism, street performance and other street art forms. Against this backdrop, this book explores the evolving political role of street art in Latin America during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It examines the use, appropriation and reconfiguration of public spaces and political opportunities through street art forms, drawing on empirical work undertaken in Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. Bringing together a range of insights from social movement studies, aesthetics and anthropology, the book highlights some of the difficulties in theorising and understanding the complex interplay between art and political practice. It seeks to explore 'what art can do' in protest, and in so doing, aims to provide a useful point of reference for students and scholars interested in political communication, culture and resistance. It will be of interest to students and scholars working in politics, international relations, political and cultural geography, Latin American studies, art, sociology and anthropology.

Download or read book The Walls of Santiago written by Terri Gordon-Zolov and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photo-illustrated record of Chilean protest art, along with reflections on artistic antecedents, global protest movements, and the long shadow cast by Chile’s authoritarian past. From October 2019 until the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, Chile was convulsed by protests and political upheaval, as what began as civil disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement. Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities. Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with over 150 photographs taken throughout the protests. Additional photos will be available on the publisher’s website. From the introduction: In the conclusion, we take stock of the crisis of the nation-state in the contemporary era. This chapter brings events into the present moment, noting the ways President Piñera took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reclaim the streets of Santiago, a phenomenon echoed in countries across the globe. While most of the global protest movements were forced to go underground (or into the ether), the Black Lives Matter movement surged in the United States and drew massive amounts of support both domestically and abroad, suggesting a continued wave of grassroots protests. We close with reflections on the continued relevance of walls in a virtual world, the testimonial role that protest graphics play, and the future outlook for revolutionary movements in Chile and worldwide.

Book excerpt: "Exhilerating, magnificent, dangerous." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London) One of the great novels of the Twentieth Century, described by John Updike as a meditation on "the persistence of trauma, the rapacity of eros, the fragility of our orderly schemes" On a cold night in Holland two men meet and change each other's lives forever. Max Delius - a hedonistic, yet brilliant astronomer who loves fast cars, nice clothes and beautiful women - picks up Onno Quist, a cerebral chaotic philologist who cannot bear the ordinariness of everyday life. Despite their differences, they fast become great friends. And when they learn they were conceived on the same day, it is clear that their meeting is no coincidence. As the pair fall into and out of love with the same woman - Ada - so their lives become further intertwined. For all three are on a mysterious journey destined to shape human history. The Discovery of Heaven is internationally recognized as a masterpiece. Rich in philosophical, psychological, historical and theological enquiry, it is an extravagant, bold and satisfying novel of ideas.

Download or read book Gauchos en las primeras postales fotogr ficas argentinas del s XX written by Carlos Masotta and published by La Marca Editora. This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH EDITION This charming, gift-worthy 6 x 6-inch paperback presents a wide selection of beautifully tinted photographic postcards of and by Argentine cowboys, or gauchos, in the early 1900s. Often reproduced with stamps, postmarks and handwriting perfectly preserved, these fascinating relics depict life on the Argentine prairie with documentary candor as well as romantic aplomb. Here we find many photographs of the gauchos with their horses, at their ranches, playing their guitars and courting their wives. Cows are quartered, houses are raised, rivers forged and duels fought. Collected by Carlos Masotta, the Buenos Aires anthropologist, documentarian and image-identity expert. Hacia el 1900, en una sociedad en febril proceso de modernización y caracterizada por un cosmopolita auge inmigratorio, hace su aparición un fenómeno cultural mencionado comúnmente como 'criollismo'. Entre las últimas décadas del s. XIX y primeras del s. XX se divulgó un gusto por lo gauchesco que pudo reunir nuevamente a diferentes sectores socioeconómicos, pero ahora en clave de representación y consumo de la imagen de un mundo pasado. Paradoja o curiosidad; la figura del gaucho ha sido elogiada y elevada como símbolo de la nacionalidad en el preciso momento en que aquél dejaba de existir. El conjunto de postales recrean el mundo del gaucho como un código estructurado en escenas: el trabajo con hacienda (el arreo, la yerra o marcación de ganado, la carneada); el transporte en carretas; el ocio (juegos de taba, carrera de caballos, bailes); el asado, el duelo a cuchillo y la relación amorosa son los temas habituales, muchos de ellos rescatados de la pintura de fines del siglo XIX.
