El objetivo del artículo es discutir la potencialidad de prácticas artísticas contemporáneas que plantean ejercicios decoloniales al desestabilizar las matrices perceptivas eurocéntricas sobre grupos étnicos latinoamericanos. Desde la perspectiva de los estudios visuales, aborda la tentativa de demolición crítica de la cultura visual y los regímenes de visibilidad regidos por la lógica de la hipercomunicación y las tecnologías digitales. El punto de partida es el análisis del videoensayo Ashipegaxanacxanec iniciado en 2020 a partir de las acciones de control implementadas en la pandemia de covid-19. La producción se inscribe en las líneas de investigación del Núcleo de Estudios y Documentación de la Imagen (Nedim), Conicet-UNNE, con la finalidad de resignificar el acervo fotográfico del antropólogo alemán Lehmann Nitsche obtenido en el contexto de la masacre indígena en la Reducción de Napalpí, Chaco, en 1924. Metodológicamente, la propuesta explora la configuración experiencial de visualidades expandidas en la escena contemporánea, a partir de un anclaje en la dimensión especulativa en sintonía con un acercamiento contextual situado en las relaciones de convergencia entre pro- cedimientos, materiales, formatos, dispositivos e instancias disruptivas de prácticas y trayectorias estéticas. Ello supone la activación de procesos heurísticos y poéticos mediados por el ensayo y la escritura como montaje. Propuestas como el videoensayo analizado instauran la pregunta por el archivo y la memoria a través del montaje de temporalidades contradictorias. Su lugar de enunciación se posiciona como posibilidad de insurgencia estética que clausura tentativas de exotización hegemónica por parte de los dispositivos de control contemporáneos. The goal of this paper is to discuss the potentiality of contemporary artistic prac-tices that propose decolonial exercises by destabilizing the Eurocentric perceptual matrices on Latin American ethnic groups. From the perspective of visual studies, it addresses the attempt to critically demolish visual culture and the regimes of visibility governed by the logic of hypercommunication and digital technologies. The starting point is the analysis of the Ashipegaxanacxanec video essay started in 2020 based on the control actions implemented in the COVID-19 pandemic. The production is part of the research of the Image Studies and Documentation Center (Nedim), Conicet-UNNE, with the purpose of redefining the photographic collection of German anthropologist Lehmann Nitsche, obtained in the context of the indigenous massacre in the Napalpí reduction in Chaco, in 1924. Methodologi-cally, the proposal explores the experiential configuration of expanded visualities in the contemporary scene, based on an anchoring in the speculative dimension in tune with a contextual approach in the convergence relationships between proce-dures, materials, formats, devices and disruptive instances of practices and aes-thetic trajectories. This supposes the activation of heuristic and poetic processes mediated by essays and writing as montage. Proposals such as the analyzed video essay establish the question about the archive and memory through the montage of contradictory temporalities. Its place of enunciation is positioned as a possibili-ty of aesthetic insurgency that closes any attempts at hegemonic exoticization by contemporary control devices

This multidisciplinary collection probes ways in which emerging and established scholars perceive and theorize decolonization and resistance in their own fields of work, from education to political and social studies, to psychology, medicine, and beyond

Serial fiction released in Argentina in 2019 continues to fall. Only one telenovela had more than 200 chapters. To a lesser extent than the previous year, the supply of serialized fiction incorporated themes from the social agenda, especially feminist struggles and the visibility of sexual dissidence. The channels found in the co-produc- tion and in the production for platforms one of the ways in which fic- tion survives. Some of these programs are now on the open television screen. New fiction releases from Ibero-America are also falling.

The country’s political crisis led to the confrontation between the Peruvian Congress and President Martín Vizcarra on irreconcil- able limits. After a second denial of confidence, Vizcarra made use of his constitutional prerogatives and dissolved Congress at the end of September 2019. The majority of the mass media step in line with the different positions of the Executive or the opposition, giv- ing much more attention to the political situation, thus modifying the TV programing. In this scenario, the Enfoca group – owner of Latina station – has continued looking for potential buyers, but without success yet. The conglomerate – with interest in financial, health and productive sectors – does not feel that the investment made in acquiring all the station’s shares seven years ago yielded the expected results. Meanwhile, Willax – a small locally held station acquired by the Wong group in 2015 with promises of a large investment – has become a stronghold of opposition to the government of Vizcarra and the largest broadcaster of Korean fictions. In February 2020, they an- nounced that a commercial partnership had been signed with South Korean company CJ ENM, a production company of several Korean dramas and the award-winning film Parasite, but without indicating what this company could mean for audiovisual production in Peru.

In 2019, the World Wide Web (www) celebrated its 30th anni- versary, However, the internet had not yet asserted itself as a right in the “network society” (Castells, 2009), and its balance points to the expansion of both opportunities and threats. Another fact that deserves to be highlighted in the year was the drop in the rating as a global phenomenon that challenges the television industry. It means change of habits and search for new business models. The integration of platforms and the generation of quality content appear as pillars of thetransformation of audiovisual worldwide. And the changes are manifested with a certain degree of diversity, according to the economic and cultural characteristics of each society, with disruptive processes.

En France, depuis quelques années, le terme « décolonial » fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Employé d'abord dans les milieux militants antiracistes, il a fait plus récemment l'objet de manifestations scientifiques et de travaux académiques, ainsi que d'une réappropriation médiatique qui, en en dévoyant bien souvent le sens, jette sur lui une forme d'anathème, lui conférant une coloration largement polémique. Les théories et les mouvements décoloniaux restent ainsi fondamentalement mal compris, et leurs concepts fondateurs, comme la notion de colonialité, ne sont presque jamais rapportés à leur contexte d'origine ni aux penseurs et penseuses qui les ont forgés. L'histoire de la pensée et de la pratique décoloniales, malgré des travaux universitaires ou des revues dédiées de plus en plus nombreux, reste finalement mal aimée, parce que mal connue, du grand public. Pour dissiper les amalgames ordinaires qu'occasionne en France la réception souvent trop superficielle de ces courants, des universitaires et / ou militant·e·s tentent de diffuser la richesse conceptuelle et politique du mouvement. Leurs travaux soulignent la nécessité de faire connaître la voix d'intellectuel·le·s et d'activistes latino-américain·e·s en diffusant leurs textes en langue française, en les soumettant au débat ou en en proposant des approches critiques. On peut dire qu'un champ d'études décoloniales, encore jeune, mais pluriel et foisonnant, est en cours de consolidation. Retour aux origines Si les termes « décolonial » et « décolonialité » se chargent souvent dans les médias français de connotations hostiles, du fait notamment de la critique radicale de la modernité qu'ils induisent ou du soupçon de communautarisme qu'ils soulèvent, il importe de revenir à l'origine du mouvement décolonial, des théories et concepts qui le fondent, aux luttes, aux résistances concrètes et aux propositions de mondes qu'il recouvre. Pour tenter de mettre en lumière ses apports-philosophiques, mais aussi épistémologiques, politiques, ontologiques ou esthétiques-, un tour d'horizon s'impose des différent·e·s auteur·e·s et notions qui caractérisent le mouvement décolonial, au demeurant éminemment pluriel, d'Amérique latine.

Ce survol de l'art contemporain indigène, qui connut un succès retentissant dès son ouverture en novembre 2019, a été prolongé jusqu'au 4 octobre au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada.

L'exposition est organisée par les conservateurs du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada Greg A. Hill, Christine Lalonde et Rachelle Dickenson, conseillés par les commissaires Candice Hopkins, Ariel Smith et Carla Taunton, ainsi que par une équipe d'experts du monde entier. .

This paper analyzes the growth of gender studies in Latin America, despite facing resistance in the scientific field and from the advance of conservative policies on the continent. It also addresses the challenges that feminist research faces in colonized spaces. To develop our argument, we draw on the scholarship of feminist researchers in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, such as Veleda da Silva and Lan (2007), Silva and Vieira (2014), Silva, César and Pinto (2015), Colombara (2016), Lan (2016), Veleda da Silva (2016), Ibarra-García and Escamilla-Herrera (2016), Zaragocin-Carvajal, Moreano-Venegas, and Álvarez-Velasco (2018), and Silva and Ornat (2019). This paper also examines the difficulties that Latin American feminist geographies face in establishing their own foundations in a globalized world where the geopolitics of global knowledge of geography is increasingly structured by the epistemological centralization of the Anglophone northern hemisphere.

Stemming from Grosfoguel’s decolonial discourse, and particularly his enquiry on how to steer away from the alternative between Eurocentric universalism and third world fundamentalism in the production of knowledge, this article aims to respond to this query in relation to the field of the art produced by Latin American women artists in the past four decades. It does so by investigating the decolonial approach advanced by third world feminism (particularly scholar Chandra Talpade Mohanty) and by rescuing it from—what I reckon to be—a methodological impasse. It proposes to resolve such an issue by reclaiming transnational feminism as a way out from what I see as a fundamentalist and essentialist tactic. Following from a theoretically and methodological introduction, this essay analyzes the practice of Cuban-born artist Marta María Pérez Bravo, specifically looking at the photographic series Para Concebir (1985–1986); it proposes a decolonial reading of her work, which merges third world feminism’s nation-based approach with a transnational outlook, hence giving justice to the migration of goods, ideas, and people that Ella Shohat sees as deeply characterizing the contemporary cultural background. Finally, this article claims that Pérez Bravo’s oeuvre offers the visual articulation of a decolonial strategy, concurrently combining global with local concerns.

Publié en 2000, le livre de Boaventura de Sousa Santos — un sociologue émérite portugais — intitulé Critique de la raison indolente a eu un grand impact au Brésil comme dans le reste de l’Amérique Latine (De Sousa Santos, 2000/2003). Il y développait ce qu’il a appelé « les Épistémologies du Sud » global en opposition aux « Épistémologies du Nord », global également. De Sousa Santos entendait par « Épistémologies du Sud » les connaissances, théories et savoirs qui réfléchissent avec créativit...

This essay aims to trace an overview of the decolonial aesthetics through the analysis of artistic expressions that occurred in Latin American territory. This analysis will allow us to enhance the cultural and artistic practices within its plurality and the typical spatial archetypes within its temporal resignification. The necessity of creation and the search for new epistemological fields translate the historical movements of the Latin-American cultural mouvance and the juxtaposition of temporalities, practices and the confluence of knowledge. We can find a stage of resistance and socio-historical borders subverted, mainly in the context of artistic and cultural manifestations and its capacity of invention and relativization. This essay aims to bring a reflection on the construction of cultural spaces and the dismantling of a single hegemonic perspective to define the artistic practices. The analysis and the epistemological questioning of the Latin-American trans-historical movement delineates an overview of the history of artistic productions that came out of practices and every-day life inventions and the elaboration of temporary spaces of claim and contestation through exhibitions, performances, festivals, and so forth. The idea of subverting a geopolitical imaginary and a cartography of the world (even if initially in local dynamics) consists of a central focus of this work.

Today over half of all American households own a dedicated game console and gaming industry profits trump those of the film industry worldwide. In this book, Soraya Murray moves past the technical discussions of games and offers a fresh and incisive look at their cultural dimensions. She critically explores blockbusters likeThe Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid, Spec Ops: The Line, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed to show how they are deeply entangled with American ideological positions and contemporary political, cultural and economic conflicts.As quintessential forms of visual material in the twenty-first century, mainstream games both mirror and spur larger societal fears, hopes and dreams, and even address complex struggles for recognition. This book examines both their elaborately constructed characters and densely layered worlds, whose social and environmental landscapes reflect ideas about gender, race, globalisation and urban life. In this emerging field of study, Murray provides novel theoretical approaches to discussing games and playable media as culture. Demonstrating that games are at the frontline of power relations, she reimagines how we see them - and more importantly how we understand them.

"Si tous les groupes humains sont touchés par la violence à grande échelle, les femmes la subissent sous des formes spécifiques, comme en témoignent les assassinats systémiques des femmes et des filles autochtones en Amérique du Nord et en Amérique latine, ou encore les nombreux conflits armés (Syrie, Lybie, Birmanie, entre autres) dans lesquels le viol est érigé en arme de guerre. Les deux phénomènes peuvent d'ailleurs se recouper puisque l'un des tout premiers féminicides à avoir été qualifié et documenté comme tel en Amérique est celui ayant été perpétré contre les femmes mayas durant la guerre civile guatémaltèque au début des années 1980. Cependant, les femmes ne sont pas seulement les victimes de la violence de masse, puisqu'elles sont aussi les premières à témoigner et dénoncer pour faire barrage à cette violence. Ce numéro hors-série regroupe des articles et des projets visuels qui décrivent et analysent la violence de masse liée au genre. Il s'agit de réfléchir sur la manière de représenter cette violence et d'en témoigner, d'autant plus qu'elle est bien souvent rendue invisible et inaudible par le patriarcat, le colonialisme, les intérêts politiques en présence ou l'impéritie de l'État."

The development of Global Renaissance art history has had an undeniable impact on the field of colonial Latin American art. Some of the earliest manifestations of this disciplinary partnership can be found in exhibitions, monographs, articles, and edited volumes produced around the quincentennial of Christopher Columbus’s 1492 voyage. Exhibitions such as Circa 1492 at the National Gallery and a wave of scholarly publications addressed the cataclysmic impact of the European invasion and subsequent colonization of the Americas at an epistemological, linguistic, political, biological, and aesthetic level. The year 1992 precipitated an outpouring of critical reflection on the history of colonialism in the Western hemisphere and its enduring legacies both within Latin America and its diasporic communities.

Este trabajo se propone comprender la incidencia de las relaciones de poder que ciertas representaciones temporales acerca de grupos indígenas pueden ejercer en nuestra comprensión pasada y actual. Diversas imágenes reprodujeron ideas de indígenas que, aunque estuvieran vivos, mostraban una cultura asimilada a un pasado de amplias dimensiones. Por lo tanto, para comprender el proceso de invisibilización de la diversidad indígena en la cultura nacional, es relevante considerar los mecanismos de montaje discursivo —visuales y textuales—, vinculados con las nociones temporales de indios viviendo en un supuesto tiempo remoto. Atendiendo a ello, se analizan los procesos de montaje, desde la producción de las fotografías hasta la edición y presentación de imágenes, tanto en la prensa como en postales, publicaciones científicas y de divulgación, para ver cómo a veces pequeños cambios de encuadre, contraste, retoque o selección pueden incidir en la construcción de diversas historias, en la comprensión y en los sentidos construidos y en pugna.

This paper proposes a theoretical framework with which to dis- cuss the critical engagement of media art projects in Second Life with racialized self-representation, fashion and ethnic dress. Ex- amining Montreal-based Mohawk artist Skawennati’s machinima series, TimeTravellerTM (2008-13), a project of self- determination, survivance and Indigenous futurity, it argues the critically-aware act of ‘virtually self-fashioning’ racialized born- digital identities, or virtual ethnicities, disrupts ways in which today’s vast proliferation of self-technologies enabling the crea- tion, recreation and management of multiple selves, would other- wise remain complicit with neoliberal colour-blind racism

La producción visual de América Latina del siglo XX condensa una variable de emergentes artísticos diversosno solo por la complejidad histórica que caracteriza al continente sino por la pluralidad de comunidades nativas que conformaron su territorio geográfico. Así como la crítica cultural ha abonado fuertemente el terreno de las artes también han surgido otras vías de estudio enlazadas con dimensiones sociales, económicas y políticas. Cabe mencionar los aportes al ámbito de las producciones visualesde una perspectiva analítica que en el escenario latinoamericano se inscribe en el llamado ‘giro decolonial’. América Latina posee una tradición franqueada por luchas contra el colonialismo y el eurocentrismo. En la actualidad, la esfera artística contemporánea manifiesta sus posicionamientos colectivos frente a una sociedad globalizada. En este aspecto, las contribuciones de la inflexión decolonial permiten pensar otros sentidos inherentes a las formulaciones estéticas surgidas en estas regiones. Se analizarán las obras de Alfredo Jaar, Tania Bruguera y Milagros de la Torre.

Compuesta por 355 obras de arte de naturaleza muy variada, la exposición en sala y ahora impresa busca visibilizar, dignificar, valorar y difundir los legados civilizatorios, reativos, culturales, económicos, sociales, políticos, tecnológicos, ambientales e históricos de los pueblos del África occidental y de sus descendientes en la construcción de Antioquia. Además, este catálogo pretende ubicar en las manos del público, y de los especialistas en museos y en estética, el de-bate sobre las encrucijadas que encierra la representación museal de las obras artísticas y de las culturas de los pueblos afroamericanos fraguados en el seno de las dinámicas esclavistas, imperiales y coloniales.

Video games have become a global industry, and their history spans dozens of national industries where foreign imports compete with domestic productions, legitimate industry contends with piracy, and national identity faces the global marketplace. This volume describes video game history and culture across every continent, with essays covering areas as disparate and far-flung as Argentina and Thailand, Hungary and Indonesia, Iran and Ireland.
