Book Description
Enfrentados a la noción de progreso y al umbral evolutivo de la inteligencia artificial que alimentan los imaginarios sobre nuestro futuro, las reflexiones y los ensayos que reúne este libro buscan fundar un nuevo paisaje crítico, en la zona donde se encuentran el arte, la teoría crítica y la tecnología. Un paisaje lleno de innovación, profundamente latinoamericano, ensamblado con los artefactos de vanguardia del presente, donde la obra de artistas digitales se cruza con operaciones de desguace, piratería de hardware, performances autómatas, movimientos estéticos contemporáneos, sueños maquínicos, y otros ensambles teóricos con el objetivo de "desenmascarar las quimeras modernas que tendieron a cajanegrizar el pensamiento", como sostiene Jazmín Adler en la introducción. El resultado es una cartografía que pueda revelar un nuevo horizonte crítico sobre la tecnología, sus procesos y nuestros imaginarios futuristas: materialidades extrañas que cubren nuestra cotidianeidad pero se ocultan ante nuestra mirada.

Book Description
FotoFest 1992, a major festival of international photography, brought Latin American photography into focus for a wide audience. Offering a diverse selection of photographers, countries, artistic movements, and subject matter, the show revealed a photographic tradition rich in history and creativity. Drawing from the more than 1,000 images exhibited by FotoFest, this book documents the work of fifty-two photographers from ten countries. The photographs range from the opening of the Brazilian frontier in the 1880s to a secret archive of documentary images from El Salvador's recent civil war to works of specifically aesthetic intent. Many of the photographs appear here in print for the first time. Watriss's opening essay provides the curatorial overview for the book. Lois Zamora examines the roots of visual image-making in Latin American cultures. Boris Kossoy addresses the history of Latin American photography through the nineteenth century, while Fernando Castro covers the contemporary scene. With its compelling images and English-Spanish text, this book will serve as a benchmark for future studies of photography in Latin America.

Book Description
Operating within the framework of postcolonial studies and decolonial theory, this important work starts from the assumption that the violence exercised by European colonialism was not only physical and economic, but also ‘epistemic’. Santiago Castro-Gómez argues that toward the end of the eighteenth century, this epistemic violence of the Spanish Empire assumed a specific form: zero-point hubris. The ‘many forms of knowing’ were integrated into a chronological hierarchy in which scientific-enlightened knowledge appears at the highest point on the cognitive scale, while all other epistemes are seen as constituting its past. Enlightened criollo thinkers did not hesitate to situate the Black, Indigenous, and mestizo peoples of New Granada in the lowest position on this cognitive scale. Castro-Gómez argues that in the colonial periphery of the Spanish Americas, Enlightenment constituted not only the position of epistemic distance separating science from all other knowledges, but also the position of ethnic distance separating the criollos from the ‘castes’. Epistemic violence—and not only physical violence—is thereby found at the very origin of Colombian nationality.
