Teresita Fernández
Author: Denise Markonish
Publisher: Prestel
ISBN: 9783791356822
Category : Collagen
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This visually arresting book provides the first complete overview of artist Teresita Fernández's multi-faceted body of work. Teresita Fernández creates elaborate installations that pull viewers into other worlds and environments, playing with scale, material and how we understand and navigate the landscape. The idea of wayfinding--moving from place to place or even getting lost--is critical to understanding Fernández's approach, which incorporates unconventional materials such as graphite, pyrite, dyed thread, polycarbonate tubes, gold and malachite to explore how we look at and process our surroundings from land to sky, private to public. This book is a journey designed as constellation of works rather than a chronological retrospective, inviting readers to explore Fernández's oeuvre through large, full-color illustrations; writings on place; references to literature, film, art history, and poetry, alongside Fernández's own writings; and critical essays. Organized into six sections--landscape, celestial, terrestrial, subterranean, cinematic, and radiance-- which reflect themes recurring in Fernández's practice, this volume spans her full career. The result is a dramatically rich experience of getting to know an artist through her creative process--a rewarding journey that will satisfy general readers and scholars alike.

Teaching Late-Twentieth-Century Mexicana and Chicana Writers
Author: Elizabeth Coonrod Martínez
Publisher: Modern Language Association
ISBN: 1603295100
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Mexicana and Chicana authors from the late 1970s to the turn of the century helped overturn the patriarchal literary culture and mores of their time. This landmark volume acquaints readers with the provocative, at times defiant, yet subtle discourses of this important generation of writers and explains the influences and historical contexts that shaped their work. Until now, little criticism has been published about these important works. Addressing this oversight, Teaching Late-Twentieth-Century Mexicana and Chicana Writers starts with essays on Mexicana and Chicana authors. It then features essays on specific teaching strategies suitable for literature surveys and courses in cultural studies, Latino studies, interdisciplinary and comparative studies, humanities, and general education that aim to explore the intersectionalities represented in these works. Experienced teachers offer guidance on using these works to introduce students to border studies, transnational studies, sexuality studies, disability studies, contemporary Mexican history and Latino history in the United States, the history of social movements, and concepts of race and gender.
