  • Street Art Of
    Global Latin/o Americas Frederick Luis Aldama and Lourdes Torres, Series Editors “A detailed, incisive, intelligent, and well-argued exploration of visual politics in Chile that explores the way muralists, grafiteros, and other urban artists have inserted their aesthetics into the urban landscape. Not only is Latorre a savvy, patient sleuth but her dialogues with artists and audiences offer the reader precious historical context.” —ILAN STAVANS “A cutting-edge piece of art history, hybridized with cultural studies, and shaped by US people of color studies, attentive in a serious way to the historical and cultural context in which muralism and graffiti art arise and make sense in Chile.” —LAURA E. PERÉZ uisela Latorre’s Democracy on the Wall: Street Art of the Post-Dictatorship Era in Chile G documents and critically deconstructs the explosion of street art that emerged in Chile after the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, providing the first broad analysis of the visual vocabulary of Chile’s murals and graffiti while addressing the historical, social, and political context for this public art in Chile post-1990. Exploring the resurgence and impact of the muralist brigades, women graffiti artists, the phenomenon of “open-sky museums,” and the transnational impact on the development of Chilean street art, Latorre argues that mural and graffiti artists are enacting a “visual democracy,” a form of artistic praxis that seeks to create alternative images to those produced by institutions of power. Keenly aware of Latin America’s colonial legacy and Latorre deeply flawed democratic processes, and distrustful of hegemonic discourses promoted by government and corporate media, the artists in Democracy on the Wall utilize graffiti and muralism as an alternative means of public communication, one that does not serve capitalist or nationalist interests.

  • Introduction ❖ ❖ ❖
    In troduction ❖ ❖ ❖ This book explores how barter creates social and economic value by addressing a particular kind of Andean exchange: cambio. This trade is a core transaction in fairs that gather lowland cultivators and highland herders in the Southern Andes. Such fairs are usually embedded in the celebration of a Catholic feast day, which also entails sportive, re- ligious and political dimensions. Similar festivals are held throughout the cordillera, where fairs arise in conjunction with religious ceremo- nies, many times constituting a fundamental asset of the celebration. In fact, this case is not peculiar to the Andes, as the condensation of economic transactions in the frame of a religious celebration is found in many cultural and historical contexts. Anthropological theorisation of ritual practices has nonetheless been built on a conceptualisation of religious practices as disjoined from mundane economic interests. The opposition is based on the premise that the formalities of ritual revere the collectivity, while exchanges of necessities are chiefl y individual. Anthropologists have crafted the concept of ceremonial exchange to account for those transactions at the interface of the economic and the ritual. Ceremonial exchange was the cornerstone of Bronisław Malinowski’s detailed account on the Trobriand kula, in which he argued against the stereotype of the prim- itive economic man. In his typology of local forms of exchange, Ma- linowski opposes the pure gift to ‘trade pure and simple’ as extremes of a continuum of transactions that are not always clearly distinguished. Adjacent to trade, he identifi es the category of ‘ceremonial barter with deferred payment’. This includes the wasi that he defi nes as ‘a cere- monial form of exchange of vegetable food for fi sh, based on a stand- ing partnership, and on the obligation to accept and return an initial gift’ ([1922] 2002: 143).

  • Patagonia, Land of Nomads: a Glance at a Territory Shaped by Displacement
    Patagonia, Land of Nomads: A Glance at a Territory Shaped by Displacement Pablo Chiuminatto and Ana Cortés Once upon a Voyage In the year 1878, an English Lady named Florence Dixie decided to flee the busy comforts of London for a strange, nearly deserted place at the southernmost corner of the world. Patagonia was back then a broad, untouched landscape, barely inhabited by nomad peoples as rough and wild as their territory. For Victorian society, it must have seemed extremely odd that a refined Lady should wish to venture into such inhospitably cold regions. Perhaps this is the reason why Florence Dixie felt the need to respond to these questionings on her book about her journeys Across Patagonia (1881): What was the attraction in going to an outlandish place so many miles away? […] Precisely because it was an outlandish place and so far away, I chose it. Palled for the moment with civilization and its surroundings, I wanted to escape somewhere, where I might be as far removed from them as possible.1 This was, in fact, a time when technological development had made travelling fairly safe and was becoming increasingly frequent, even popular. These explorations engendered a great volume of writings which were later comprehended under a literary genre devoted specifically to the detailed narration of such world-wanderings. Travel literature of the nineteenth century constitutes, in this sense, a sort of evidence of a world suddenly set in movement. Of course, the transformation of the world map had initiated more than four centuries ago with the discovery of newer continents.

Todos los diagnósticos realizados, dentro de este contexto, repiten insistentemente las mismas palabras: desarraigo, ausencia de identificación con el lugar, cultura escasamente reconocida o debilitada, etc. Mariano Hermida, Mariano Malizia y Peter Van Aert, en las X Jornadas de Sociología de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, de la Universidad de Buenos, expresaban: "Desde hace cuatro décadas, cuando fue implementada la Ley 19.640 de Promoción Industrial, Tierra del Fuego se ve atravesada por continuos flujos migratorios. Con un último crecimiento intercensal del 26%, y una población mayoritariamente compuesta por migrantes internos provenientes de distintas regiones del país, el proceso migj'atorio emerge como cuestión central, tanto para el estudio de la composición so ció demográfica como para el de la construcción de imaginarios locales.
