Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume Historical Dictionary of Chile covers the economy and the environment, political parties and history, and reprehensible period of dictatorship during a crucial time in Chile’s history. The end of the iron-fist rule of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled from 1973 until 1990, however, allowed a return to democratic rule, and the country kept searching for coherence and unity in national life among diverse and often discordant elements. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Chile contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chile.

Download or read book Destroy the Copy Plaster Cast Collections in the 19th 20th Centuries written by Annetta Alexandridis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on two international conferences held at Cornell University and the Freie Universität of Berlin in 2010 and 2015, this volume is the first ever to explicitly address the destruction of plaster cast collections of ancient Mediterranean and Western sculpture. Focusing on Europe, the Americas, and Japan, art historians, archaeologists and a literary scholar discuss how different museum and academic traditions – national as well as disciplinary –, notions of value and authenticity, or colonialism impacted the fate of collections. The texts offer detailed documentation of degrees of destruction by spectacular acts of defacement, demolition, discarding, or neglect. They also shed light on the accompanying discourses regarding aesthetic ideals, political ideologies, educational and scholarly practices, or race. With destruction being understood as a critical part of reception, the histories of cast collections defy the traditional, homogenous narrative of rise and decline. Their diverse histories provide critical evidence for rethinking the use and display of plaster cast collections in the contemporary moment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y todos eramos actores, un siglo de luz y sombra nos sumerge en una doble historia de amor, una de emotiva y humana dimension entre nuestro heroe y La Bella entre las bellas; y otra, sublime y tragica, entre un recio, varonil y enorme camion frances de 36 toneladas y un fragil y coqueto auto dorado, al mas puro y chabacano gusto narco, que sin rumbo deambulaban transportando actores y viejos decorados por los escarpados caminos de la cordillera de los Andes desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, hasta Santa Marta, Colombia.Una historia que como los amores se desarrolla entre la comedia italiana y la tragedia griega al recorrer un siglo herido mostrando la belleza de su piel y el hedor de sus heridas.Relata la epopeya de un hombre-testigo-actor-aventurero que sonriendo cruzo sin ser visto un siglo tormentoso en el que por haber visto lo que no debio ver, y saber que no lo vio todo, fue condenado a desaparecer de la historia escrita en blanco y negro, la lineal e insipida que exige tomar partido, aquella que busca reemplazar los barrotes de hierro de la celda por barrotes de deslucidos parlamentos destinados a encerrar el pensamiento y desterrar la voz discordante.Ajada historia de falsos decorados de carton piedra que quieren ocultar la realidad olvidando que en aquella epoca no habia espectadores, que todos eramos actores, olvidando que la razon de ser del actor es morir para renacer sobre otro escenario en la piel de otro personaje ocultandose asi de los inquisidores para, riendose, contrastar la belleza y el hedor de un siglo de luz y sombra. !Oh dioses, tened piedad de mi, dadme la fuerza necesaria para inmolarme y renacer en la palabra! y a vosotros, lectores, les pido que me acompanen por los espirales de vida y de muerte hasta desaparecer en el ultimo escalon de la obra cuando libres podran escoger el papel que les corresponda.La prosa traviesa, el verso herido, la imagen cinematografica, la replica insolente, el viaje, la autobiografia y la ficcion se entremezclan en Y todos eramos actores recuperando la riqueza perdida en la escritura, aquella que Enrique Vila-Matas imaginara para el futuro de la literatura y del libro, como lo dijera en la FIL de Guadalajara:"e;Pensaba que en este siglo se mezclarian la autobiografia, el diario de viajes y la ficcion. Pensaba que ibamos a una literatura mixta donde los limites se difuminarian, pensaba que la accion se difuminaria en favor del pensamiento"e;... "e;Luego las cosas se torcieron. La industria editorial esta erradicando de la literatura todo aquello que nos quiere hacer creer que es demasiado pesado o que va demasiado cargado de sentido. El panorama desde el punto de vista literario es desolador"e;.Desolador, a menos que se escoja la curva equivocada, la mas peligrosa y por ello la mas excitante y hermosa, rechazando los derroteros que la industria editorial corporativa nos quiere imponer a usted como lector y a mi como escritor, y escojamos libremente un mundo editorial en el que el yo, lector y el yo, escritor, en la diversidad, podamos amarnos.De Y todos eramos actores:Dos dias mas tarde levantamos la huelga de hambre, se habia encontrado una salida al laberinto, faltaba solamente despejar las vias para alcanzar esa salida, en Colombia nada es facil, un si es un no y en el mejor de los casos un quizas; un silencio es un grito y en ese espacio nos habian permitido desplazarnos, se regresaba a las costumbres milenarias, a las primeras civilizaciones: a los locos y los juglares se les respeta hermano, en ellos somos, en ellos permanece nuestra memoria.*Rompio las fronteras, el director no esta hablando de Colombia.*Y nosotros no estamos hablando de nuestros muertos; nuestras masacres son sus masacres, nuestros laberintos no tienen salida.El mar nuevamente me ofrecia una salida.*Entrada, entrada, no salida. Hay algunos que nunca aprenden.

Download or read book Latin American Art written by Edward Sullivan and published by Phaidon. This book was released on 2000-09-20 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive and authoritative survey of an important and increasingly popular field. Because each of the contributors is an expert on his or her own national art, it is also the first to present a genuinely Latin American viewpoint. 17 scholars, critics and curators provide an exciting and challenging new assessment of twentieth-century Latin American art. The wider public and scholars alike will welcome the full treatment of the different histories and cultural traditions that have given each country its own character. Major artists such as Wifredo Lam, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Fernando Botero are seen in a wider context, and the exploration of the rich and important heritage of previously overlooked countries such as Ecuador, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Bolivia will be a revelation to many. Springing from complex cultural roots, Latin American art is fresh, varied and often startling in its originality. Its vast range and astonishing qualities are represented here in over 300 outstanding images.
Download or read book Revolutionary Horizons written by Abigail McEwen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism in Havana reached its climax during the turbulent years of the 1950s as a generation of artists took up abstraction as a means to advance artistic and political goals in the name of Cuba Libre. During a decade of insurrection and, ultimately, revolution, abstract art signaled the country’s cultural worldliness and its purchase within the international avant-garde. This pioneering book offers the first in-depth examination of Cuban art during that time, following the intersecting trajectories of the artist groups Los Once and Los Diez against a dramatic backdrop of modernization and armed rebellion. Abigail McEwen explores the activities of a constellation of artists and writers invested in the ideological promises of abstraction, and reflects on art’s capacity to effect radical social change. Featuring previously unpublished artworks, new archival research, and extensive primary sources, this remarkable volume excavates a rich cultural history with links to the development of abstraction in Europe and the Americas.
