Over the past 4 and a half years, I have studied contemporary art and seen countless artworks being made in an academic setting. In doing so, I have come to the realization that religious content is rare in today’s time. While it is not actively discouraged, the environment I am in and the current art community does not seem to be particularly interested in merging the two concepts. Without understanding why, I subconsciously kept art and my faith as separate entities for the first few years of my higher education. But as I matured and developed my own artwork, I began to feel as though my identity and my interests should be rooted in my relationship with God. Upon this reflection, I began looking for ways to make Christian art in a contemporary setting that could also be accepted by those who do not share my faith.

Peut-on faire de la philosophie dans l'art ? Nous n'en donnons pas une réponse négative ou affirmative ; nous proposons plutôt trois zones d'indiscernabilité entre art et philosophie : le concept, l'écriture, la praxis. Le concept : nous étudions la question du concept à partir de la conceptualisation que Luis Camnitzer en fait principalement dans son livre "Didáctica de la liberación. Arte conceptualista latinoamericano". Dans ce texte Camnitzer cherche à décentrer la lecture du conceptualisme en partant de l'Amérique Latine. Nous essayons d'étudier les conséquences philosophiques de ce décentrement qui implique de revoir la relation entre des termes comme esthétique, concept, intellect... L'écriture : pour Camnitzer, un précurseur du conceptualisme artistique serait le philosophe vénézuélien Simon Rodríguez (1771-1854) le maitre de Bolívar. Rodríguez savait que la libération politique de l'Amérique devait être accompagné par une décolonisation culturelle. Ainsi Rodríguez se proposa de décoloniser la philosophie à travers l'écriture. L'écriture du philosophe vénézuélien rompt avec l'espace linéaire et homogène de la page typographique qui répond au modèle classique du discours : un discours linéaire, hiérarchique et irréversible sur lequel, selon Rodríguez, se fonde la pensée coloniale. Praxis : deux sens de la relation entre philosophie et praxis nous intéressent ici : la philosophie comme "exercice spirituel" (comme dirait Pierre Hadot), comme "esthétique de l’existence" (comme dirait Michel Foucault) et la philosophie comme praxis politique
Can we make philosophy in art ? We do not give a negative or affirmative answer ; rather, we propose three zones of indistinguishability between art and philosophy : the concept, the writing, the praxis.The concept : we study the question of the concept from the conceptualization that Luis Camnitzer does mainly in his book "Conceptualism in Latin American Art. Didactics of liberation". In this text Camnitzer seeks to decentralize the reading of conceptualism based in Latin America. We try to study the philosophical consequences of this decentering which involves reviewing the relationship between terms such as aesthetics, concept, intellect ...Writing : for Camnitzer, a forerunner of artistic conceptualism would be the Venezuelan philosopher Simon Rodríguez (1771-1854) the master of Bolívar. Rodríguez knew that the political liberation of America had to be accompanied by cultural decolonization. Thus Rodríguez proposed to decolonize philosophy through writing. The writing of the Venezuelan philosopher breaks with the linear and homogeneous space of the typographic page that responds to the classical model of discourse : a linear, hierarchical and irreversible discourse on which, according to Rodríguez, colonial thought is based. Praxis : two senses of the relationship between philosophy and praxis interest us here : philosophy as "spiritual exercise" (as Pierre Hadot would say), as "aesthetics of existence" (as Michel Foucault would say) and philosophy as political praxis

This study analyses the invisible forms of repression in the Bolivian art system by interpreting Roberto Valcárcel’s artwork in the light of Herbert Marcuse’s ideas on repression and liberation as expounded in Eros and Civilization. It considers, on the one hand, Valcárcel’s artwork in relation to the liberating role that Marcuse attributes to art (via phantasy, polymorphous eroticism, and Orphic paradigm). On the other hand, it explores the strategies devised by Valcárcel against repression, such as self-promotion, multiple texts, play, humour and unmasking certain repressive truths. The reading of Valcárcel’s work via Marcuse is supported by archival research from contemporary newspapers, exhibition documentation and Bolivian art history, which provide relevant information about the sorts of latent repression to which Valcárcel’s artworks responds. The dissertation is organised in five chapters in which examples of repressive beliefs are unveiled. Chapter One examines El Movimiento Erótico (The Erotic Movement, 1983) and the manifold strategies used by Valcárcel to escape the traps of a presumed type of sexual liberation (sexist and genital oriented) and capitalism’s culture industry. Chapter Two discusses artworks where the intentional construction of open meaning challenges the norm of a univocal creation and consumption of art. Chapter Three studies some of Valcárcel’s humorous identities in contrast with the dramatic, and overly serious self-perception of Bolivians artists. Chapter Four explores Valcárcel’s use of play, black humour and deceit as effective devices to escape hidden authoritarianism in society during dictatorial regimes. Chapter Five analyses how Valcárcel’s work unveils the latent repression in the idealisation of indigenous heritage through play and anti-thesis. The dissertation introduces a new topic into the study of art in Bolivia – veiled repression – at the same time that it sheds light on the potential of the artwork of Roberto Valcárcel to open new ways of historicizing and thinking about art in Bolivia.

La presente tesis doctoral titulada Romper el Marco. Memoria y producción artística en la postdictadura uruguaya 1985-2005 gira en torno a la relación entre memoria y prácticas artísticas en el marco de la postdictadura uruguaya. Situada en un campo interdisciplinario que incluye tanto los Estudios de Memoria, los Estudios Visuales y la Historia del Arte, como también las teorías sobre el testimonio, la experiencia concentracionaria y la tortura, esta tesis se centra en estudiar los regímenes estéticos que operan alrededor de las experiencias límite de la dictadura cívico-militar (1973-1985) -como la prisión política, la tortura y la desaparición- en las prácticas artísticas de la postdictadura uruguaya, periodo que situamos entre 1985 y 2005. El objetivo de esta tesis es elaborar un análisis de las relaciones entre memoria y trauma desde la práctica artística en postdictadura a través del trabajo de una serie de artistas y creadores que consideramos paradigmáticos -Horacio Faedo, Luis Camnitzer, Clemente Padín, Ernesto Vila y Jorge Tiscornia- cuyo trabajo nos permite investigar sobre la dimensión política de la memoria en este contexto. Para el caso uruguayo, pensar el lapso que va de 1985 a 2005 como período postdictatorial centra la atención en el legado de la dictadura y las transformaciones con respecto a dicho tiempo histórico. La coyuntura fragmentaria postdictatorial, consecuencia de la desestructuración social provocada por la prisión política, la tortura, la desaparición, el exilio y el insilio, hizo que las formas de elaboración cultural y estética de la memoria también estuviesen relacionadas a estos fenómenos y sus efectos en la reconfiguración de las subjetividades políticas y colectivas. A diferencia del frenetismo de los productos derivados del “boom” de la memoria que inundaron los años noventa en países como Alemania, Estados Unidos o Argentina, en el contexto uruguayo no hubo un “exceso” ni una “hipertrofia” de la memoria, aludiendo a Todorov y a Huyssen, sino que ha existido una lucha desde los inicios de la transición democrática por el derecho y la legitimidad de la palabra. Muchas de las prácticas artísticas que se han desarrollado desde entonces han enfatizado dichas tensiones y materializado la pluralidad y complejidad de la memoria del pasado reciente frente a las políticas oficiales del postconflicto en esta geografía. En esta tesis entendemos que para la producción artística uruguaya del período postdictatorial la memoria no compone un tema sobre el cual trabajar, sino que constituye un lugar de enunciación, un sistema discursivo y estético que es un posicionamiento político en sí mismo. La hipótesis de partida para esta investigación se basa en la consideración de la práctica artística como ejercicio estético y político, como forma de resistencia y como forma de memoria. La producción artística como lugar de memoria tendrá la capacidad de elaborar diversos procesos de sutura, tanto en el plano de lo subjetivo y colectivo, que será, a su vez, parte constitutiva de la dimensión política de estos regímenes estéticos. El período postdictatorial estará atravesado por modos particulares de abordar, desde la producción artística, la desarticulación de lo social, lo subjetivo, lo afectivo, lo político y lo identitario. Entender el golpe de Estado como “quiebre de la representación” implica asumir la necesidad de construcción de nuevos sistemas y configuraciones de lo sensible que, en la postdictadura deberá plantearse, además, en un escenario radicalmente diferente, definido por la coyuntura del neoliberalismo y de la globalización.
This doctoral thesis titled Breaking the Frame. Memory and artistic production in the Uruguayan post-dictatorship 1985-2005 revolves around the relationship between memory and artistic practices in the context of the Uruguayan post-dictatorship. Located in an interdisciplinary field that includes both Memory Studies, Visual Studies and Art History, as well as theories about testimony, concentration experience and torture, this thesis focuses on studying the aesthetic regimes that operate around the borderline experiences of the civic-military dictatorship (1973-1985) - such as insile, exile, political prison, torture and disappearance - in the artistic practices of the Uruguayan post-dictatorship, a period that we place between 1985 and 2005. This thesis aims to elaborate an analysis of the relationships between memory and trauma from artistic practice in post-dictatorship through a series of paradigmatic artists and creators - Horacio Faedo, Luis Camnitzer, Clemente Padín, Ernesto Vila and Jorge Tiscornia - whose work allows us to investigate on the political dimension of memory in this context. The central hypothesis of this research is based on the consideration of artistic practice as an aesthetic and political exercise, as a form of resistance and memory. Understand artistic production as a place of memory implies the capacity to elaborate various suture processes, both at the level of the subjective and collective, which will, in turn, be a constitutive part of the political dimension of these aesthetic regimes. The post-dictatorial period will be crossed by particular ways of approaching, from artistic production, the disarticulation of the social, the subjective, the affective, the political and the identity. Understanding the coup d'état as a "breakdown of representation" implies assuming the need to build new systems and configurations of the sensitive that, in post-dictatorship time, must also be considered in a radically different scenario, defined by the situation of neoliberalism and the globalization.

Rompiendo con los circuitos oficiales de las galerías y museos, el arte correo enuncia una nueva forma de circulación del trabajo artístico, que enfatiza sobre todo lo colectivo. Esta alternativa es la manera de circulación de propuestas artísticas e ideas. Este modo alternativo de circulación de las proposiciones/ideas artísticas enunciaba la idea de red que, posteriormente, con el adviento de Internet, se haría una cuestión altamente relevante para la contemporaneidad. En los años 1960 y 1970, el uso de los Correos como un medio táctico en el ámbito del arte está relacionado con la apropiación de los medios de comunicación por parte de las manifestaciones artísticas del periodo –un periodo en que la creación de redes y la comunicación eran fundamentales. El arte correo es un conjunto de diferentes estéticas, que tienen en el sistema postal tradicional su canal de expresión, apropiándose de ese canal de modo subversivo para configurarlo en un canal cultural alternativo de intercambio de mensajes artísticos. En la década de los setenta, el arte correo era considerado por algunos críticos e historiadores de arte como uno de los grandes fenómenos de la vanguardia internacional. Su amplia actuación, posibilitaba para los nuevos lenguajes artísticos el desencadenamiento de nuevas situaciones comunicacionales y estructurales, como por ejemplo el anonimato. El objetivo del arte correo es romper con el flujo unidireccional emisor-receptor de los medios de comunicación de masa, a través de la participación activa del espectador en la obra, socializando la autoría y diluyendo las fronteras que separan artista y público. De esta forma el arte correo democratiza el arte. Infelizmente, existen pocos estudios académicos acerca del arte correo, probablemente porque es un campo de estudio complejo, en el cual la información es difícil de conseguir. Es difícil precisar hechos y fechas. Los documentos y producciones son efímeros. A pesar de esto, en esta investigación se han analizado en profundidad las publicaciones en arte correo y las declaraciones de los artistas para entender sus conexiones y estrategias de comunicación, especialmente en el ámbito latinoamericano.
Breaking away from the official circuits of art galleries and museums, mail art heralds a new era for the circulation of artistic work, which focuses primarily on the collective. This alternative means of circulation for artistic proposals and ideas brings forward the concept of network that would later, with the birth of the Internet, become a highly significant issue for contemporaneity. The use of mail in the 1960s and 1970s as a tactical instrument in the field of art relates to the appropriation of the means of communication by the period’s artistic manifestations – a period in which establishing networks and communicating were crucial cultural elements. Mail art is a collection of varied aesthetics, whose means of expression is through official mail. Mail art appropriates this means of expression in a subversive manner to configure an alternative cultural channel for the exchange of artistic messages. In the 1970s, some critics and art historians considered mail art as one of the great phenomena of the international avant-garde. In its broadest sense, its actions enabled the new artistic languages to trigger communicational and structural situations, such as for example the anonymity. The goal of the mail art community was to break away from media’s one-way sender-receiver flow, through the spectators’ active participation in the piece itself. That would socialize authorship and dilute the borders that divide the artist and the public. In so doing, mail art democratizes art. Unfortunately, there are few academic studies about mail art, probably because that field of study is obdurately complex, the information is difficult to obtain. It is difficult to accurate facts and datas. The documents and works were frequently intend as ephemera. In spite of that, in this study we analyse in depth mail artists’ publications and interviews to understand their communicational connections and strategies, particularly in the field of Latin America.

This thesis explores the potential of domestic space to act as the ground for new forms of community and sociability in Argentine and Chilean films from the early twenty-first century. It thus tracks a shift in the political treatment of the home in Southern Cone cinema, away from allegorical affirmations of the family, and towards a reflection on film’s ability to both delineate and disrupt lived spaces. In the works examined, the displacement of attention from human subjects to the material environment defamiliarises the domestic sphere and complicates its relation to the nation. The house thus does not act as ‘a body of images that give mankind proofs or illusions of stability’ (Bachelard), but rather as a medium through which identities are challenged and reformed. This anxiety about domestic space demands, I argue, a renewal of the deconstructive frameworks often deployed in studies of Latin American culture (Moreiras, Williams). The thesis turns to new materialist theories, among others, as a supplement to deconstructive thinking, and argues that theorisations of cinema’s political agency must be informed by social, economic and urban histories. The prominence of suburban settings moreover encourages a nuancing of the ontological links often invoked between cinema, the house, and the city. The first section of the thesis rethinks two concepts closely linked to the home: memory and modernity. Analysing documentary and essay films, Chapter 1 suggests some political limitations to the figure of the fragment which dominates scholarly discussion of memory in Latin America. Chapter 2 studies films which explore the inclusions and exclusions created by modernist domestic architecture. The second section focuses on two human figures found on the threshold of the home: the domestic worker and the guest. Chapter 3 analyses unorthodox representations of domestic work, and explores how new materialist approaches can enhance readings of the political potential of ‘art cinema’. Finally, in Chapter 4 I examine films depicting household visitors that upset urban class divisions, and question the possibility of ‘domestic cosmopolitanism’ (Nava 2006) in contemporary Latin America. My comparative analysis of these films explores a rupture between physical dwelling and imagined home that points towards new political practices in a neoliberal, post-dictatorship context.

Since the late 1980s, there has been a steady production of Latin American narrative fiction in Spanish concerning China and the Chinese. Despite the work written about China and its relation to Latin America, no comprehensive examination of the representation of China in literature has been produced thus far. This thesis analyses nine novels in which China is the main theme, exploring how China has been represented in Latin American narrative fiction in recent decades. Using 'China' as a multidimensional term informed by Sara Ahmed's understanding of 'strangerness' (2000), this thesis first explores how the novels studied here both highlight and undermine assumptions about China that have long shaped Latin America's understanding of 'China'. Secondly, using theories of the fetish, it shows 'China' to be a kind of literary/imaginary 'third' term which reframes Latin American discourses of alterity. On one level, it is argued that these texts play with the way that 'China' stands in as a wandering signifier and as a metonym for Asia, a gesture that essentialises it as an unchanging other. On another level, it argues that the novels' employment of 'China' resists essentialist constructions of Latin American identity. 'China' is thus shown here to be a symbolic figure in Latin America, serving as a concept through which criticism of the construction of fetishised otherness becomes possible, as well as criticism of the exclusion inherent in essentialist discourses of identity, such as those contained in mestizaje. These discourses of mestizaje have traditionally emphasised racial and cultural mixture, and have excluded the Chinese from discourses of Latin American identity. As a result, 'China' is used here to deconstruct bound identities, interrupting discourses of otherness within Latin America. From this perspective, it is argued that these novels tend to gesture towards an understanding of identity as 'being-with', and community as inoperative, as developed by Jean-Luc Nancy (1991, 2000), whilst taking a cosmopolitan stance, as developed by Berthold Schoene (2011). The novels have been divided between those that set their stories in China, such as Cesar Aira's 'Una novela china' (1987); those that explore Chinese communities in Latin America, such as Ariel Magnus' 'Un chino en bicicleta' (2007); and those that focus on Latin American travel to China, such as Ximena Sanchez Echenique's 'El ombligo del dragon' (2007). Indebted to Ahmed's, Nancy's and Schoene's theoretical perspectives, Chapter 1 explores how 'China', as both a physical space and a discursive context, foregrounds negotiations of power in the histories of both China and Latin America. Chapter 2 studies how 'China' is used to recall and interrogate the notion of an indistinct 'oriental'. The final chapter seeks to understand the ways in which the novels articulate travel to China as a means of challenging Eurocentric structures and 'national' epistemologies. Ultimately, by disclosing the complex operations through which 'China' is represented in Latin American literary discourses, this study explores possible further reconfigurations of Latin American notions of identity and community as non-essentialist and in constant development.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A tese acompanha as trajetórias de Diamela Eltit, João Gilberto Noll e Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill, realizando através do trabalho desses três escritores uma cartografia das questões estéticas e políticas que atravessam as últimas décadas. Seus projetos narrativos, tão diferentes entre si quanto pertinentes para nosso tempo, foram marcados por uma perda de sentido referente às crises da utopia revolucionária e vanguardista, que se torna visível na transição da ditadura à pós-ditadura. A partir dessa perda, surgirão algumas alternativas para uma literatura por vir: uma escrita performática, que coloca em jogo o corpo do próprio escritor para dar sentido aos trânsitos contemporâneos, no caso de Noll; uma escrita agonística, que faz da provocação cínica uma arma contra a apatia contemporânea, no de Fogwill; uma escrita resistente, que deixa ver os efeitos perversos do consenso neoliberal, no de Eltit.
This thesis follows the paths of Diamela Eltit, João Gilberto Noll and Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill, charting, through their works, the territory of aesthetical and political questions of the last decades. The narrative projects of these writers, as distinct from each other as they are pertinent to our time, were marked by a loss of meaning that relates to the crisis of revolutionary and avant-garde utopias, which becomes visible in the transition from dictatorship to post- dictatorship. Taking this loss as a starting point, some alternatives for a literature to come will appear: a performatic writing, that puts in place the body of the writer himself to give sense to contemporary transits, in Noll´s case; an agonistic writing, that uses cynical provocation as a weapon against contemporary apathy, in Fogwill´s; a resistant writing, that allows us to see the perverse effects of the neoliberal consensus, in Eltit´s.

La presente tesis doctoral se ocupa de revisar y analizar de forma ensayística y por hitos históricos desde los estudios culturales, postcoloniales y la historia del arte casos de proyectos de artistas latinoamericanos en el Berlín post-Caída del Muro y hasta el desmontaje del Palast der Republik, identificando a ambos hitos como cruciales en una etapa de transformación de la ciudad tras el fin de la Guerra Fría. El abordaje se inscribe en el giro espacial – tanto epistemológico como de prácticas artísticas – y entendiendo a las prácticas desde el arte como sociales y por ende generadoras y transformadoras de espacios y experiencias de vida en la ciudad. Esto es logrado a partir de estrategias desde una identidad y diferencia para llegar a la contemporaneidad como eje y lograr así espacios liminales y zonas de contacto para la negociación de conflictos, narrativas y discursos del pasado y presente, así como de tiempos-espacios diferentes en el contexto global.
This doctoral thesis is an approach from a perspective from the cultural, postcolonial studies and art history, reviewing and analyzing historical milestones and projects of Latin American artists in the Berlin post-Fall of the Wall until the dismantling of the Palast der Republik. It considers both historical moments as crucial in a stage of transformation of the city after the end of the Cold War. The approach is framed in the spatial turn – considering both epistemological and practical dimensions of it - and understanding art practices as social, and therefore generating and transforming spaces and life experiences in the city. This is achieved from strategies from identity and difference, arriving at the contemporaneity as an axis. The projects analyzed produce liminal spaces and contact zones for the negotiation of conflicts, narratives, and discourses of the past and present, as well as of different time-spaces in the global context.

Through discursive essays and poetic narrative, Antithetical Commentaries on X, Y and the Disruption of Being explores the tenuous relationship between modes of measurement and the struggle for human relevance in the post-contemporary digital age. In the introductory essay, “Not the Feather, but the Bird”, I give an overview of the inherent problems of object-oriented ontology, and how it relates to aesthetics and social issues of our times. In the Developmental Overview, I detail how I developed my installation approach and techniques, particularly with regard to the three-way dynamic of the artist:work:viewer relationship and how it can encourage a ‘transgression’ that leads to the possibility of a transformative awareness of being. Subsequently, I present a series of ‘antithetical’ commentaries that neither explain nor expand the installation, rather, they create a non-binary duality that, through an entirely non-linear anti-narrative, work to erode the overlay of personal, civic and collective grids present in the memory space/time referenced in the video, TAG. Finally, in “Grid: Towards a Transgressive Humanism.” I propose a path by which installation art might serve to create transgressive opportunities for viewers, rather than the transcendence sought through religious rituals, which often reinforce stigmas, fears and authoritarian social dynamics, or worse, the reductive loop, of many contemporary approaches to art which proclaim their detachment in wordy displays, essentially leading to a form of aesthetic nihilism. This Transgressive Humanism is not presented as a dogma, but rather a revitalization of the work as a vessel of possibilities, an agent of creative growth for the artist and the viewer.

O ESPAÇO COMO OBRA: Ações, Coletivos Artísticos e Cidade é uma reflexão a respeito dos processos de criação e impacto social das ações dos coletivos artísticos Contrafilé, Frente 3 de Fevereiro e Política do Impossível de São Paulo e GAC de Buenos Aires, que começaram a atuar em meados dos anos 1990. A dissertação foi desenvolvida a partir de diversas vozes, que se complementam e entrecruzam: uma voz narrativa, que vai apresentando descobertas feitas em minha atuação como artista no espaço urbano e que surge de uma dimensão local, inclusive íntima, chegando a uma voz mais \"reflexiva e acadêmica\"; vozes da grande mídia; as vozes dos próprios trabalhos artísticos apresentados; vozes dos coletivos, quando são utilizados como referências teóricas; e, por último, vozes de pensadores que de alguma forma influenciam o meu pensamento e o do movimento cultural do qual fazem parte as práticas urbanas aqui analisadas. O intuito é compreender como as intervenções urbanas, ao mesmo tempo, resultam e geram uma rede de afetos e significados e evidenciam a emergência de uma subjetividade política contemporânea que passa, necessariamente, por discutir e concretizar políticas de representação, relação, subjetivação e modos de vida alternativos aos impostos pelo neoliberalismo. Interessa, portanto, pensar como acontece e toma corpo a potência crítica situada deste tipo de resistência, configurando formas atuais do fazer político no contexto específico e complexo da cidade como escala e espaço referencial. O estudo se desenvolve como uma investigação ativa e participante de diversos trabalhos realizados pelos coletivos e através da qual me interessa observar essas ações/intervenções em seu poder disruptivo, ou seja, em sua capacidade de presentificar acontecimentos que de alguma forma desestabilizem representações sociais e sensações prévias. E que, ao evidenciar a possibilidade de fazê-lo, trazem à tona um saber circulatório que difunde a imagem produzida em situação representação direta e a experiência do \"público\" como obra.
The Space as theWork:Actions, Art Collectives and City is a reflection on creation processes and social impact of actions carried out by art collectives Contrafilé, Frente 3 de Fevereiro and Política do Impossível dfrom São Pauloe, as well as GAC Buenos Aires. These collectives have began work in the 1990\'s. The dissertation stems from multiple voices, which cross over and complement each other: a narrative voice that unravel discoveries made in my work as an artist in the urban space, emerging from a local and also intimate dimension, arriving at a \"more reflexive and academic\" voice; voices of the mainstream media; voices of the works studied; voices of the collectives, when they are mobilised as theoretical refeb rences and, lastly, voices of the thinkers who somehow influenced my thinking and voices of the cultural movement of which the urban practices under scrutiny are part of. The aim is to understand how the urban interventions at once result from and generate a network of affects and meanings, as they render evident the emergence of a contemporary political subjectivity. This subjectivity necessarily involves discussing and carrying out a politics of representation, relation, subjectivation and modes of life alternative to those imposed by neoliberalism. Under this light, the dissertation seeks to think how the critical potency situated in this kind of resistance can be embodied and takes place at all, configuring current forms of political making, in the specific and complex context of the city as scale and as referential space. This study developed as an active and participating investigation of several works carried out by the collectives. I seek to observe the actions/interventions in their disruptive power, i.e., in their capacity to render present events that somehow destabilise social representations and previous sensations. And which, as they evidence the possibility of being carried out, they bring to the surface a circulatory knowledge that diffuses the image produced in situation direct representation and the experience of the \"public\" as work.

To define the parameters of the novela del 68 and to argue for the conceptualization of a gendered novela del 68 as expressed in the analysis of the three novels under consideration: Panico o peligro, by Maria Luisa Puga (1983), Los octubres del otono, by Martha Robles (1982), and Los testigos, by Emma Prieto (1985; to analyze the alternative discourses and subjectivities textualized in these novels; and to analyze the "gendering" and fictionalization of the 1968 Mexican student movement. Chapter 1 provides a detailed introduction to the novela del 68 as defined in contemporary Mexican literary and cultural criticism. It provides a general overview of the major works of the novela del 68 along with a discussion of the critics who have been instrumental in defining, analyzing, and codifying the novela del 68. Chapter 2 examines how Panico o Peligro, by Maria Luisa Puga establishes a dialogical relationship to the representative works of the novela del 68 as defined by Medina and Martre. It is argued that this relationship is marked by a central structural conflict between assimilation of a traditional testimonial/autobiographical model, and differentiation by means of the strategic narrative device of autobiographical simulation. Chapter 3 examines Martha Robles's Los octubres del otono , and proposes that the novel deconstructs the traditional novela del 68's binary oppositional model of representation. This chapter presents an argument for the novel as a radial reading of history, incorporating the semiotic theories of paragrams as developed by Julia Kristeva and Severo Sarduy. Chapter 4 analyzes how Emma Prieto's Los testigos refocuses the cultural and political conflicts of 1968 through the lens of class and social identity. This chapter shows how the novel recasts the internal struggles of the MPE in the guise of a political love triangle, utilizing the language of popular detective and romance fiction to sublimate discourses of class power and masculine social and cultural hegemony. It is argued that the novel subverts a model of identity construction in the traditional novela del 68 which evades the problematics of class and gender identity.

In this dissertation I study three novels written by Latin American and Chicana female authors: Arrancame la vida by Mexican writer Angeles Mastretta; Hija de la fortuna by Chilean writer Isabel Allende; and Delia's Song by Chicana writer Lucha Corpi. These novels have been chosen because of one common characteristic they share: the development of the female protagonist and her quest for a non-patriarchal conscribed identity and her ultimate emancipation. In other words, these novels portray protagonists in search of autonomy and create fictional women who escape entrapment in the traditional female plot expectations. These three novels deal with the development of the protagonist. Though these novels do not fit nicely into the classic male model of the Bildungsroman, they are representative of a feminist version of the Bildungsroman, which is said to begin to emerge in the decade of the seventies among American, Latin American and Latina women writers. In the novels analyzed, the authors have attempted to subvert patriarchal power in an effort to liberate the repressed protagonist and also to deconstruct male constructed female myths. Thus, these contemporary feminist Bildungsromans aggressively challenge the falsely imposed dichotomies of gender codes while simultaneously creating alternative definitions of female identity, ones that are more ample and multi-faceted. The Bildungsroman becomes an apt genre for contemporary Latin American and Chicana women writers because it allows them to explore the complexity and multiple subjectivity of female identity. These three contemporary Bildungsromans subvert the traditional female and male genre because these protagonists are not halted in their development, rather they attain their goals and are able to construct their own identities. These novels present alternative destinies for the Latin American and Chicana protagonist.

This thesis explores representations of menstruation in contemporary literature produced by Latin American and Spanish women writers. The study is motivated by the need to open up the subject of menstruation, in both literary studies and wider terms, and analyses works in which authors decouple menstruation from traditional, patriarchal conceptualisations in which periods are limited to the ambit of reproduction and defined negatively, as shameful, an embarrassment or a burden. This study identifies contemporary works from across Spanish-speaking countries that engage with menstruation as well as detecting and analysing trends and approaches to menstruation and recurrent images associated with periods. This shows that menstruation, despite its taboo status, is a subject widely explored in women’s literature in Spanish. The four main content chapters explore the alternative imaginaries that question traditional representations, whether by displaying overtly subversive representations or through a more muted approach. These chapters are structured thematically around the axes of eroticism, trauma, transitions and rape, and demonstrate that menstruation can be conceptualised from a plurality of perspectives which avoid the traditional association with fertility. Moreover, the study demonstrates that menstruation plays a significant role within these texts. Therefore, this study also creates a corpus of ‘menstrual texts’, a term coined to refer to works which not only make menstruation visible but also make use of it aesthetically and assign to menstruation an important role within the narrative, including as a main theme, image or motif, plot trigger, and/or as a narrative device. The comparative chapters analyse a number of selected texts, namely: Diamela Eltit’s Vaca sagrada (1991), Andrea Jeftanovic’s Escenario de guerra (2000), Solitario de amor (1988) and other works by Cristina Peri Rossi, Marta Sanz’s Daniela Astor y la caja negra (2013), Esther Tusquets’ El mismo mar de todos los veranos (1978) and Ana Clavel’s Las Violetas son flores del deseo (2007).

An exploration and analysis on the connections between identity, culture and contemporary art. A number of critical race theories are examined as possible constructions of Asian-American women identities. This paper seeks to understand how Asian-American women reconcile with these strivings and limitations and how they maintain their native racial identities despite their conflicting desire to conform to the mainstream culture. This paper also examines two contemporary women artists who promote a dialogue regarding transcultural identities.

Though alphabetic script had become a prevailing communicative form for keeping records and recounting histories in New Spain by the turn of the seventeenth century, pre-Columbian and early colonial artistic and scribal traditions, including pictorial, oral, and performative discourses still held great currency for indigenous communities during the later colonial period. The pages of a corpus of indigenous documents created during the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries known as the Techialoyan manuscripts abound with vibrantly painted watercolor depictions, alphabetic inscriptions, and vivid invocations of community elders’ speeches and embodied experiences. Designed in response to challenging viceregal policies that threatened land and autonomy, the Techialoyans sought to protect and preserve indigenous ways of life by fashioning community members as the noble descendants of illustrious rulers from the pre-Columbian past. The documents register significant events in the histories of communities, often creating a sense of continuity between the colonial present and that of antiquity. What is more, they provide the limits of the territory within a depicted landscape using a reflexive, ambulatory model. Representations of place evoke ritual practices of walking the boundaries from the perspective of the ground, enabling readers to acquire different forms of knowledge as they move through the pages of the book and the envisioned landscape to which it points. The different communicative forms evident in the Techialoyans, including pictorial, alphabetic, oral, and performative modes contribute to understandings of indigenous literacies of the later colonial period by demonstrating the diverse resources and methods upon which indigenous leaders drew to preserve community histories and territories.

The Techialoyans present an innovative artistic and scribal tradition that drew upon pre-Columbian, early colonial, and European conventions, as well as the contemporary late-colonial pictorial climate. The artists consciously juxtaposed traditional indigenous materials and conventions with those of the contemporary colonial moment to simultaneously create a sense of both old and new. Not only did the documents recount indigenous communities’ histories and affirm their noble heritages, they also proclaimed possession of an artistic and scribal tradition that was on par with that of their revered ancestors, thereby strengthening corporate identity and demonstrating their legitimacy and autonomy within the colonial regime.

This thesis engages with three US poets – Jorie Graham, Charles Wright and Mark Doty – as well as using other writing, from the Modernists to the ekphrastic collection, to engage with the context of ekphrasis, ‘the verbal representation of visual representation’, in the US. After an introduction that evaluates previous work on ekphrasis and studies the forms of engagement between visual and verbal art, a section of three chapters is devoted to each poet. The first explores Jorie Graham’s work on abstract painting, photography and film, analyzing how she uses the different temporal conventions of each genre to write about the past. The second section looks at the links between memory and present perception in the work of Charles Wright and his struggle with how to represent as he follows the path to abstraction before returning to the more simple desire to say what he sees, accepting the sleight of hand that is necessarily a part of this. The third section goes on to explore the work of Mark Doty, a poet who embraces illusion in representation, arguing that the process of creating and deconstructing illusions is a fundamental part of how we define our own identity as well as how we make space for ourselves within the community. Refuting accusations that ekphrastic writing often depends too heavily on the visual artwork for its credibility, this section considers how it can be used positively as a tool for legitimation by writers who come from a minority perspective, analysing the visual aspect of poems on cruising, drag and public sex performances. A final section uses the relatively new phenomenon of the ekphrastic collection – with work by Cole Swensen, Debora Greger and Claudia Rankine– to examine how ekphrasis deals with issues of gender and iconic cultural images.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the significance of the historical Jesus in contemporary Christologies. Since the Enlightenment the quest of the 'historical Jesus' has influenced the shape of Christology not only in Europe but also in the Third World. We deal with the Christologies which have been formed in different backgrounds so that the roles of the historical Jesus in the Christologies of different cultures could be clear and comparable. Chapter I concentrates on Bultmann's Christology; firstly it approaches the figue of the historical Jesus reconstructed by authentic sayings based on form criticism, secondly it seeks to grasp the exact meaning of the kerygma of the death and resurrection of Christ based on the demythologizing programme. It compares the content of the message of the historical Jesus and that of the post-Easter Church, and examines whether there is any real continuity between the two. Chapter II is confined to examining how Kasemann, Fuchs and Ebeling have developed these issues which have been left unexplained in Bultmann; e.g. for Kasemann we look at how much and in what manner Paul and John were interested in the historical Jesus, and for Fuchs and Ebeling at the faith of Jesus and its meaning in the primitive Church. Focus is given solely to the relationship between the history of Jesus and the Christ of faith. In Chapters I and II, the guiding principle is to see whether there is a contact point between history and faith. Chapter III deals with the Christologies of Boff and Sobrino in Latin America. Through the figure of the historical Jesus in their Christologies, the perspective of liberation Christology and the role of the historical Jesus in society are examined.

This study begins with two premises. The first is that American Studies needs to move beyond the borders of the United States to examine the ideological, cultural and economic effects our country has had on others. The United States has historically been deeply involved in Anguilla's economy, revolution and ideology. The second is that history is a commodity that is selectively deployed in the creation of personal and national cultural values in Anguilla. I use Sherry Ortner's concept of serious games and James Scott's theory of the arts of resistance to analyze how Anguilla's contemporary culture is a product of its history, environment, and a particular industry. Colonial institutional failure created a vacuum in which Anguillians were permitted, even encouraged, to conceptualize themselves as independent. The harsh environment prevented the formation of a plantocracy based on sugar production. The means and modes of the production of salt, Anguilla's only staple, resulted in a social structure that contrasts with those of the sugar islands in the Antilles. Today, independence remains Anguilla's serious game and sole art of resistance on a personal, cultural and national level.;The definition of self and nation as independent is based upon a radical excision of history that is articulated in an invention of tradition. Plato's idea of mythos and logos serve as methodological tools for unpacking how history has been strategically utilized and suppressed to support cultural concepts. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that, if history repeats, Anguilla is trapped in the box of dominant discourse. Anguillians' history does repeat; their version of history fails to benefit them because it elides their basic dependency.;The conclusion is that, in positioning independence as the contrariety of colonialism, Anguilla has created a false dichotomy that is symptomatic of an underlying social malaise. On a personal level, independence is the antithesis of community and nationalism. On a political level, independence works against regionalism. Dependence, the hidden narrative of the Anguillian public discourse of independence, undermines the mythos. Only by deconstructing the contrarieties of independence and colonialism into subcontrarieties, can Anguilla address its cultural dissonances and position itself in a global world.

My dissertation Sea-ing Words: An Exploration of the Maritime in Contemporary Caribbean and Latino/a Literature analyzes how writers from the Spanish-speaking islands and their diaspora have moved past the ever elusive Pan-Antillean quest for unity, rooted in the acceptance of a foundational Trauma (with a capital T). The writers I examine venture to humanize the basin, highlighting the routes, exchanges, and negotiations that currently distinguish the region. In doing so, the idea of one edifying Trauma is displaced by the existence of multiple and individualized iterations. As marginalized discourses infiltrate the center, the flow of the conversation is altered, opening up spaces for new interactions. Through their uses of the maritime, these writers transform the sea into a stage from which new perspectives on Caribbean and Latino/a literature emanate.

David Lamelas’s life-long research projects have included examinations of social phenomena. The artist takes interest in the dynamics of mass communication and media, urban mundane activities, and documentary films. He employs the element of time often in the structure of his art as an innovative approach by which to study his subjects.

I argue that in pairing the element of time with social phenomena, Lamelas exposes how people’s perceptions, both the visual experience and the thought processes impacted by these experiences, tend to work, therefore leading viewers to consider systems of knowledge and their own accumulation of knowledge. His artwork provokes viewers to open their minds to new ways of seeing and thinking, stimulates self-awareness, and challenges their concepts of knowledge.

This dissertation contributes to an understanding of contemporary art practices from Mexico City, as they are received in Mexico and abroad, by interpreting the meaning of local and global sources in recent work shown in Mexico, the U.S., and Europe by three internationally established, contemporary artists from Mexico City: Gabriel Orozco, Carlos Amorales, and Pedro Reyes. These three artists established their careers in the 1990s, when, for the first time, Mexican artists shifted from a national plane to a global realm of operation. Through three case studies of recent bodies of work produced by these artists, I show how each of them engages with both Mexico's artistic lineages and global art currents in ways that bring to light the problem of identity for Mexican artists working internationally. This study explores the specific ways in which each artist deals with Mexican content, in order to discuss how contemporary notions of `Mexican' are framed, misconstrued, and contested in the artworks themselves, and in the critical discourse on these artists, in Mexico and internationally.

This dissertation analyzes the social function of native art in colonial New Spain through the examination of a genre of maps painted by Indian artists known as Land Grants or Mapas de Mercedes. Land Grant maps constitute the response of the native population to a Spanish land distribution practice implemented in the sixteenth century to allocate the territory among its dwellers in an orderly fashion and prevent the illegal occupation of the land. One remarkable feature this program adopted in New Spain was its strong visual component; the viceroy requested a painted map as part of each lawsuit's evidence. This is unique to the viceroyalty of New Spain and did not happen anywhere else in the Americas. It is reflective of the Indigenous deep-rooted tradition of thinking visually and dealing with everyday matters through the use of painted manuscripts. It was also stimulated by the Spaniard's belief in the truth-value of native pictorials. The result was a vast production of maps of which approximately 700 have survived. Since they were produced for the specific context of land grants and have their own distinctive characteristics, it is possible to say that this was also the birth of a new artistic genre. The present work examines how Indians in the colonial period created these artworks that enabled them to negotiate with the colonizers, defend their rights, and ultimately attain a more favorable position in society. This project demonstrates that the Indians took up this opportunity to design maps that were an essential component of their defense strategy. My research is based on a thorough examination of the originals at the National Archives in Mexico. I combined visual analysis with the transcription and paleography of the case’s files, and a review of primary and secondary historical sources. This interdisciplinary approach enabled me to demonstrate that native artists not only described the contested site in their maps but also translated their own ideas about this space into visual form. My research underscores Indian agency and illustrates how they used Spanish laws to their advantage in preserving their possessions, sometimes to the twenty-first century.

This thesis argues that Mexican painter Enrique Guzmán is a central figure in the transition between the Ruptura movement and postmodernism. Construed by many as a surrealist artist, Guzmán employs idiosyncratic imagery not to probe inner realities, but to explore themes such as abjection and the fragmentation of self into commodity images. Inhabiting the chasm between an oppressive ultra-conservative provincial culture and the turbulent revolutionary ideology of Mexico City of the sixties and seventies, Guzmán articulates, by fusing aesthetic categories such as, among others, the grotesque, the campy and the advertising cliché and exploring language, paradox and gaze, a deconstruction of cultural and political codes by satirizing their interlocking systems of signs and simulacra, initiating a critique of national and personal identity that will later be developed by the Neo-Mexicanists (Neomexicanistas) into a bold denouncement of sexual, socioeconomic and national marginalization.

This study examines caste paintings, an art form unique to eighteenth century colonial Mexico. Hundreds of caste paintings were produced, following a compositional template that remained fairly uniform throughout the century. The distinguishing characteristic of these images is their depiction and labeling of Mexico's racially mixed population. A broad discussion of the caste genre places these works in the context of hierarchical colonial society. Focus is on select images by prominent Mexican artist Miguel Cabrera, and the changes Cabrera brings to the caste template. This study places particular emphasis on the women of Cabrera's first two caste paintings, using examples from portraiture and other art forms for contrast. The noble cacique Indian woman of the first image is used as a way to highlight and explore representation of the European and Indian cultures that comprised the major dichotomy of New Spain's social organization.

This thesis is a practice-based investigation into the articulation of pain beyond representation in contemporary art practice today – in particular the art created under the shadow of violence – conducted by prolonged actions that strive against this concept of a representational logic. Exploring the contemporary Colombian conflict as my case study, the aim of my work is to ask if it is possible to move past the existing logics of representation through a form of making, that when confronted by the distressing sensations of conflict shatters its existing logics. My visual practice is concerned with actions that embody the performative dynamics of movement, in which reality itself gets inscribed into the created images, by retaining a trace of the context that surrounds and affects what is rendered too painful to be articulated and exists silently beyond description in the work. In Colombia, trauma has clearly become culturally transitive; it affects society as a whole through the recurring accumulation of events and the generational transmission of unprocessed histories, obstructing cultural digestion. As such, this practice-based research is situated within complex relations of contemporary culture, social forces, and past and present historical events. At present, under circumstances of constant sociopolitical conflict, this thesis argues that art must register but cannot hope to master what must be approached and confronted through prompting change by poignancy as opposed to puncture. Thus, this thesis proposes a new practical and theoretical interpretation for art practice that engages with this problematic: the reality of extreme pain, which may be forgotten by being remembered through persistent gestural actions of healing as erasure, which draw on affective levels capable of shifting subjectively a caring understanding and an elaboration of such pain. My contribution to the field of art practice is primarily offered through my practical work, which here presents a passage to beyond through the Matrixial sphere and its healing notions of art; the objective being to form a link between remembering and forgetting by engaging acts of endurance, in which I use making as a reaction performed with-in or against the accumulated memory that exists as an active and present-negative force inside the reality of conflict and war. In and through my work I attempt an utterance, which is complicated, censored and interrupted by trauma, yet always striving to find ways to transform its ever-building burdens.

Conceptualized by Costa Rican artist Guillermo Vargas Jiménez (known as Habacuc), Exposición #1 [Exposition #1](or its more infamous moniker “starving dog art”)(2007) operates as a multifarious transgressive work of art. A main point of contention within the artwork is the rumored starvation of a dog during the course of artwork’s exhibition. This thesis analyzes Habacuc’s proposition within contemporaneous debates around participatory practices and Internet art. This examination is provided in order to present an alternative interpretation of the work relative to the divisive practices of the artist. Similar to other artists working with the period known as postinternet, Habacuc engages in a form of art that is counter-cultural, utilizing misinformation as a catalyst for his viral proposition. While Habacuc employs a strategy of critique throughout his varied oeuvre, Exposición #1, arguably his most complex work to date, wholly demonstrates his approach to the Internet as an intrinsically hybridized, political, and oppositional medium. Within the following chapters I focus on the types of participatory relations being produced within Exposición #1 and Habacuc’s authorial intent to challenge the principles of emancipation promised in the discourses around participation in art and the Internet as “global village.”

Ce travail de recherche porte sur l'espace urbain dans le roman latino-americain contemporain. Plus exactement, nous analysons le cas argentin (buenos aires) a travers trois temoignages litteraires qui s'etalent sur une periode essentielle de l'histoire d'argentine: adan buenosayres de leopoldo marechal, los siete locos et los lanzallamas de roberto arlt et sobre heroes y tumbas de ernesto sebato. Le corpus est aborde a partir de trois axes qui constituent le fondement de base de toute creation; a savoir le temps, l'espace et les personnages. Parallelement a ces axes, nous developpons certains aspects relatifs a la fonction narratrice. Comme methode d'analyse, nous nous basons sur les ouvrages que nous considerons comme des donnees de base: considerer l'oeuvre comme un signe litteraire, complexe, autonome, qui est concue essentiellement comme un acte de communication. L'oeuvre dans ce sens est percue comme un tout qui possede ses propres structures et originalites: description des differentes unites textuelles qui composent le recit; l'analyse de l'espace en tant que cadre referentiel des actions narrees; analyse des personnages en partant des principales composantes du statut semiologique du personnage; analyse des differentes dimensions temporelles qui structurent. .
This research deals with the urban space in the contempory latinoamerican novel. More exactly, we have analyzed the argentinian case (buenos aires) through three literary works which cover an essential period of argentina's history: adan buenosayres by leopoldo marechal, los siete locos and los lanzallamas by roberto arlt and sobre heroes y tumabs by ernesto sebato. The corpus is dealt with in terms of thre axes which constitute the fundamental basis of every creative work; namely, time, space and characters. Parallel to these axes, we have developped some aspects relative to the narrative function. Concerning our approach, we have focused on the works themselves: for a literary text is considered a fundamental literary sign that is complex, autonomous and is conceived of as act of communication the work, in this sense, is considered to be a whole which possesses its own structures and original characteristics: the description of different textual unities which compose the narrative: the analysis of space in so far as it constitues a referential frame of the narrated actions; the analysis of characters in terms of the principal components of the semiological status of character; the analysis of different temporal dilensions which structure. .

Spearthrower devices held a role around the world as a primary weapon and tool before slowly falling out of favor in certain areas for other projectile weapons. While it is widely accepted that spearthrowers were used by the people of the ancient central Andes, comparatively little research has gone into the role that they had as weapons of war, hunting tools, and objects of ceremonial reverence. In addition, the Andes developed a unique style of spearthrower and have produced many examples of spearthrowers with exceptional craftsmanship, leading me to believe that these tools were given special reverence.

This thesis compiles evidence of who in the Andes was using spearthrowers, and in what contexts, by comparing iconography to existing artifacts. It was determined that they saw the heaviest use among the coastal societies through the Early Intermediate Period and were primarily seen as a symbol in the following years.

Lynd Ward, an American Expressionist artist, and “father of the graphic novel,” helped shape the conventions of contemporary artists’ books. His legacy has influenced the direction beyond the graphic novel in areas such as the use of Expressionism and printmaking in the artists’ book, breaking graphic conventions, and using the artists’ book to convey a socio-political commentary. This paper will explain his influence and legacy by comparing his work to four contemporary artists’ books. Ward’s work, however, has only recently been recognized as a significant influence on graphic novels and has yet to be fully acknowledged as an influence on American artists’ books.

My dissertation examines the work of George C. Wolfe, August Wilson, Lorna Simpson and Glenn Ligon, theater and visual artists working in the 1980s and 1990s who feature representations of the Middle Passage in their work. Despite their different mediums--Wolfe and Wilson created plays for the proscenium stage and Simpson and Ligon crafted art installations--all four critiqued the racialized social retrenchment of their historical moment by linking it to the slave trade, and each did so through an engagement with black performance traditions.
