Architecture in Latin America is cyclically underpinned by the quest to represent multiple identities: international, national, (Latin) American. During the 1930s, although modernist European architects became the reference for Latin American professionals, they were nonetheless of no help in developing national expressions of modernity. Tracing back the debate to the cultural turmoil of that decade with an eye on older topoi on environmental determinism, this article delves into various texts through which the identity of Colombian architectural modernism was constructed. Firstly, it highlights the link between territory, nation, and historical heritage that underpinned the definition of a system of values seen as typically Colombian but, in fact, comparable to that of other countries. Then, it focuses on the construction of Colombian modernism’s identity as opposed to different Latin American experiences, highlighting the role of local and international actors. The article also explains the centrality given to Bogotá and its architecture because of the climatic differences that made the country’s cool highlands similar to Europe and the USA and, therefore, the place where civilisation, development, and modern architecture were possible for the Colombian elites. Ultimately, this text documents an exemplary case, stressing the non-exceptionalism of the different representations of Latin American national modernisms.
拉丁美洲的建筑周期性地以追求代表多种身份为基础:国际、国家和(拉丁)美洲。在20世纪30年代,尽管现代主义的欧洲建筑师成为拉丁美洲专业人士的参考,但他们对发展现代性的国家表达毫无帮助。追溯这十年的文化动荡,着眼于环境决定论上的古老地形,本文深入探讨了哥伦比亚建筑现代主义身份建构的各种文本。首先,它强调了领土、民族和历史遗产之间的联系,这些联系支撑了一个价值观体系的定义,该体系被视为典型的哥伦比亚,但事实上与其他国家相当。然后,它重点关注哥伦比亚现代主义身份的构建,而不是不同的拉丁美洲经验,突出了当地和国际行为者的作用。文章还解释了波哥大及其建筑的中心地位,因为气候差异使该国凉爽的高地与欧洲和美国相似,因此,哥伦比亚精英可以在这里获得文明、发展和现代建筑。最终,本文记录了一个典型的案例,强调了拉丁美洲国家现代化的不同表现形式的非例外主义。

Brazil on the World Stage: Carlos Gomes’s Colombo, the First Republic, and Brazil’s Cosmopolitan Desires 世界舞台上的巴西:卡洛斯·戈麦斯的《科伦坡,第一共和国》和巴西的《世界主义欲望》

In 1892, in the shadow of the tumultuous fall of the Brazilian monarchy and the rise of the First Republic just three years earlier, composer Carlos Gomes premiered his new piece Colombo in Rio de Janeiro. Intended for the 1893 Columbian World Exposition in Chicago, Colombo hagiographically narrates the story of Christopher Columbus and his supposed heroic journey of discovery to the “New World”. However, the piece’s disastrous reception in Rio led to it being left out of the Exposition and in the shadows of the composer’s oeuvre. In this article, I examine the history of Gomes’s Colombo within the context of the nation-building project of Brazil’s First Republic. Interrogating the piece alongside the other forms of cultural production that represented Brazil at the Exposition, I argue that Colombo reveals the uncomfortable and tense mediations between the national and non-national, as necessitated by Brazil’s search for a place within the cosmopolitan modernity of the fin-de-siècle world order. The article traces the construction of an exported image of “Brazil” and the universal, cosmopolitan notion of “Brazilianness” that the composition represents and, in doing so, seeks to nuance the oppositions between periphery/metropole and nationalist/cosmopolitan on which the nineteenth-century nation-state was based.
1892年,就在三年前巴西君主制的动荡垮台和第一共和国崛起的阴影下,作曲家卡洛斯·戈麦斯(Carlos Gomes)在里约热内卢首演了他的新作品《科伦坡》(Colombo)。科伦坡是为1893年在芝加哥举行的哥伦比亚世界博览会设计的,它以圣徒的方式讲述了克里斯托弗·哥伦布的故事,以及他发现“新世界”的英雄之旅。然而,这部作品在b里约热内卢的灾难性反响导致它被排除在博览会之外,成为作曲家全部作品的阴影。在这篇文章中,我在巴西第一共和国国家建设项目的背景下研究了戈麦斯科伦坡的历史。我将这件作品与其他形式的文化产品一起在博览会上代表巴西,我认为科伦坡揭示了国家与非国家之间令人不安和紧张的调解,这是巴西在世界秩序的世界主义现代性中寻求一席之地所必需的。这篇文章追溯了“巴西”的出口形象的构建,以及这篇文章所代表的“巴西性”的普遍的、世界主义的概念,并在这样做的过程中,试图微妙地区分19世纪民族国家所基于的边缘/大都市与民族主义/世界主义之间的对立。

Zama and the Politics of Contamination: from Di Benedetto’s Novel to Martel’s Film 扎玛与污染政治:从迪·贝内代托的小说到马特尔的电影

This article examines Lucrecia Martel’s Zama (2017) and her transposition from Antonio Di Benedetto’s book (1956) of the same name. I argue that Martel’s film is able to “de-visualise” the mobility and visuality of Di Benedetto’s text by pushing his elusive images towards higher levels of cinematic abstraction. More broadly, I claim that the film Zama is exemplary of what Martel calls “contamination” – that is, a term the ancient Romans employed to incorporate and transform previous Greek materials into their own cultural texts, which stands here as the filmmaker’s method in rearranging the novel. In this way, the process of de-visualisation which I borrow from Jacques Rancière’s work will be played out in relation to Martel’s politics of script adaptation and her re-imagination of the literary Zama.
本文考察了Lucrecia Martel的《Zama》(2017)及其对安东尼奥·迪·贝内代托同名小说(1956)的改编。我认为,马特尔的电影能够“去视觉化”迪·贝内代托文本的流动性和视觉性,将他难以捉摸的图像推向更高层次的电影抽象。更广泛地说,我认为电影《扎玛》是马特尔所说的“污染”的典范——这是古罗马人用来将之前的希腊材料整合并转化为他们自己的文化文本的一个术语,这是电影制作人重新安排小说的方法。通过这种方式,我从Jacques ranci的作品中借用的去视觉化的过程将与Martel的剧本改编政治和她对文学Zama的重新想象有关。

Indigenising Colombia’s Marijuana Boom: Race and Settler Colonialism in Pájaros de verano 哥伦比亚大麻热潮的本土化:夏季鸟类中的种族和定居殖民主义

Colombian directors Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra’s award-winning film Pájaros de verano (2018) has garnered praise for its genre-bending fictional account of Colombia’s 1970s marijuana boom but has not yet been the subject of scholarly analysis. The film’s production methods and ethnographic depictions of the Colombian Wayuu people give an appearance of social commitment to its Indigenous subjects. However, I argue that narratively, it reinforces a false account of the marijuana boom that absolves the mestizo Colombian state of its role in the displacement and marginalisation of the Wayuu people within the context of the Colombia’s drug war. This article critically analyses Pájaros de verano’s racialised representation of drug trafficking and its seemingly contradictory referentiality to both New Latin American Cinema and Hollywood Westerns, demonstrating the film’s ideological investment in upholding dominant narratives about Colombian drug trafficking and the displacement of Indigenous communities.
哥伦比亚导演克里斯蒂娜·加列戈和西罗·格拉的获奖电影Pájaros de verano(2018)因其对哥伦比亚20世纪70年代大麻热潮的虚构描述而获得赞誉,但尚未成为学术分析的主题。这部电影的制作方法和对哥伦比亚瓦尤人的民族志描述,给了它的土著主题一种社会承诺的外观。然而,我认为,从叙事上讲,它强化了对大麻繁荣的错误描述,即在哥伦比亚毒品战争的背景下,免除了哥伦比亚混血儿国家在瓦尤人流离失所和边缘化中的作用。本文批判性地分析了Pájaros de verano对毒品走私的种族化表现,以及它对新拉丁美洲电影和好莱坞西片的看似矛盾的参考,展示了这部电影在维护哥伦比亚毒品走私和土著社区流离失所的主流叙事方面的意识形态投资。

Before the global ascent of reggaetón, there was rap, and before Ivy Queen, Glory, Natti Natasha, Cardi B, Villano Antillano, and Young Miko, there was Lisa M. This essay is an analysis of Lisa M’s musical career in the context of early 1990s debates about women, rap, and society in Puerto Rico, taking advantage of the increased focus on gender and on Puerto Rican women singers demonstrated by works ranging from Frances R. Aparicio’s Listening to Salsa: Gender, Latin Popular Music, and Puerto Rican Cultures to Licia Fiol-Matta’s The Great Woman Singer: Gender and Voice in Puerto Rican Music. I analyse Lisa M’s early musical production, particularly songs from her 1992 album Ahora vengo alborotá, and articles and letters to the editor from 1992 and 1993 in El Nuevo Día and Vea to document popular debates about rap and gender in Puerto Rico. I conclude with some reflections about Lisa M’s coming out of the closet in 2010 and her musical reappearance in 2018.

A Fragmented New Order: Cinema, Prose, and Rebellion in Jorge Icaza’s Huasipungo 支离破碎的新秩序:豪尔赫·伊卡萨的《华西平戈》中的电影、散文和反叛

This article explores how the novel Huasipungo (1936) by the Ecuadorean writer Jorge Icaza informs and relates to current problems in the Ecuadorean highlands. The revolts of October 2019 in Ecuador prompted by a 123% increase in the price of gas and oil and the sanctions imposed by the International Monetary Fund relate to previous Indigenous struggles at the beginning of the twentieth century. I propose to revisit Huasipungo and understand anew the novel’s impact and lessons for the turbulent present the Andean region of Ecuador faces. First, I propose to read Huasipungo as a narration that emulates cinematic image production. Second, I suggest this production depicts how modern exploitation captured and reshaped labour. In Huasipungo, I argue, the subsumption of labour to capital relies on something other than a transaction: affect and habit are at the core of subsumption. Finally, I offer a reading of the uprising that closes Icaza’s narrative. Just as Walter Benjamin saw in the fragmented order of cinema the possibility of change, Icaza himself informs us of this possibility without cinema but with its fragmented order. At stake in Huasipungo’s depiction of Indigenous uprising in the Ecuadorean Andes is the possibility of reaffirming a threshold for change.
这篇文章探讨了厄瓜多尔作家豪尔赫·伊卡萨的小说《华西彭戈》(1936)是如何反映和联系厄瓜多尔高地当前的问题的。2019年10月在厄瓜多尔发生的叛乱是由天然气和石油价格上涨123%和国际货币基金组织实施的制裁引发的,这与20世纪初的土著斗争有关。我建议重新审视《华西彭戈》,重新理解这部小说对厄瓜多尔安第斯地区目前所面临的动荡的影响和教训。首先,我建议将《华西彭歌》解读为一种模仿电影影像制作的叙事。其次,我认为这部作品描绘了现代剥削是如何俘获和重塑劳动力的。我认为,在《华西平戈》中,劳动力对资本的包容依赖于交易以外的东西:情感和习惯是包容的核心。最后,我提供了一种对起义的解读,结束了伊卡萨的叙述。正如瓦尔特·本雅明(Walter Benjamin)在支离破碎的电影秩序中看到了变化的可能性,伊卡扎(Icaza)自己告诉我们,这种可能性没有电影,但有其支离破碎的秩序。华西蓬戈对厄瓜多尔安第斯山脉原住民起义的描述,利害攸关的是重新确定变革门槛的可能性。

Los mecos de Veracruz: Queer Gestures and the Performance of Nahua Indigeneity 《维拉克鲁斯:酷儿手势和纳华土著的表演》

This article examines the “danza de los mecos”, a dance performed annually by young Nahua men during the carnaval in Tecomate, Veracruz, in honor of Tlacatecolotl/Tlahuelliloc, a deceitful and capricious demon-like figure otherwise known as “el Diablo”. The performance features Indigenous men who dress as devils, wear masks, or dress as women. Drawing on fieldwork, I analyse the performance of the “danza de los mecos” as a critical site in which to examine the embodiment of indigeneity, the enactment of Nahua epistemologies, and the queer gestures that subvert colonial structures of power in contemporary Mexico. By focusing on dancing bodies, I attend to the intricate ways bodily acts transmit memory, knowledge, and imagination through ritual. I explore the role that embodied expressions of indigeneity play in the queering of colonial systems of power, while allowing Indigenous men to simultaneously assert and undermine their masculinity.
这篇文章研究了“舞蹈”,这是一种每年在韦拉克鲁斯州Tecomate狂欢节上由年轻的纳瓦人表演的舞蹈,以纪念特拉卡特科洛特/特拉胡利洛克,一个狡猾而反复无常的恶魔般的人物,也被称为“el Diablo”。表演的特点是土著男子打扮成魔鬼,戴着面具,或打扮成女人。在田野调查的基础上,我分析了“黑人之舞”的表现,将其作为一个重要的场所,在这个场所中,我审视了土著的体现、纳华认识论的制定,以及颠覆当代墨西哥殖民权力结构的怪异姿态。通过关注舞蹈的身体,我关注身体行为通过仪式传递记忆、知识和想象的复杂方式。我探讨了土著人的具体表达在殖民权力体系中所扮演的角色,同时允许土著男子同时维护和破坏他们的男子气概。

I explore the role that embodied expressions of indigeneity play in the queering of colonial systems of power, while allowing Indigenous men to simultaneously assert and undermine their masculinity.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46145339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This conversation is the result of an event that took place on 18 April 2023, as a collaboration with the Humanities Institute of the University of California, Santa Cruz, that aimed to create a space for collective reflection on the multidimensional crises Peru had been facing since early December 2022 when protests erupted in the wake of former President Pedro Castillo’s unsuccessful attempt to shut down Congress to avert an impeachment and in response to the extreme violence exerted by the Peruvian state under Dina Boluarte’s presidency. For this conversation we take as our starting point the lens of Aldair Mejía, a young Peruvian photojournalist who covered the protests in the country with a perspective focused on justice and intent on challenging the dehumanising representation of the protesters in traditional media. Furthermore, to understand this structural crisis from multidisciplinary perspectives, the event also brought together Peruvian academics from the humanities and the social sciences, who contemplated the historical, social, cultural, economic, and political implications of the current crisis for the future of Peru.
这次对话是发生在2023年4月18日的一个事件的结果,作为与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校人文学院的合作,旨在为集体反思秘鲁自2022年12月初以来所面临的多重危机创造一个空间,当时前总统佩德罗·卡斯蒂略试图关闭国会以避免弹劾失败,并对迪娜·博瓦特总统任期内秘鲁国家施加的极端暴力做出回应,引发了抗议活动。本次对话,我们以alair Mejía的镜头为起点,他是一名年轻的秘鲁摄影记者,曾报导国内的抗议活动,以正义为视角,并试图挑战传统媒体对抗议者的非人性化描述。此外,为了从多学科的角度理解这一结构性危机,该活动还汇集了秘鲁人文和社会科学领域的学者,他们思考了当前危机对秘鲁未来的历史、社会、文化、经济和政治影响。
