This article studies the pre-Avant-garde period of Alberto Hidalgo's poetic production, between 1914-1919, considering particularly the qualification of "futurist" that was given to his first two books. In this youthful period, his poetry not only showed thematic glimpses of the Italian school, but also modernist formal aspects and a strong egotistical accent. The revision of this moment "without coming of age" of his poetic production demands a new perspective from approaches like Brazilian "antropofagia" ot Oswald de Andrade and Cuban "Calibanismo" of Roberto Fernández Retamar.

Hispanic Philippine Modernism has not been analyzed so far in any work that studies, globally, its nature and development in the framework of the Fin de Siécle’s critical and poetic context. For that reason, its canon remains being evaluated by the hermeneutic tradition that started from the antimodernist premises of the time. This work intends to review the Golden Age of Hispanic Philippine letters from the assumptions of Comparativism. Taking into account both the poetic texts and the critical paratexts, I question the patriotic and Hispanicizing paradigm because of its dialogic relationships with the literary system of the former mother country and with Latin American Modernism [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text analyses the presence of Portugal in the artistic panorama of contemporary Spain. Through an examination of art exhibitions and cultural politics in the regions of Extremadura and the Canary Islands, we will study how those projects use a certain image of Portugal to negotiate a singular identity within a framework marked by the inclusion of Spain and Portugal in the European Union, the regionalization and modernization of the Spanish territories, and the development of an interest in 'the art of the peripheries'. The main hypothesis of this article, then, is that the artistic relations in Iberian territory cannot be understood if it is not examined within an international framework, attentive to the configuration of regional identities and alliances, and also to the persistence in our present of many contradictions related to the colonial and imperial past of the Iberian space.

This work intends to encounter the textual corpus constituted by the Expressionist Manifesto of the Die Brücke group of artists. In the first place, with Marshall Berman, we must say that expressionism is a modern phenomenon, and, more specifically, a modernist one. It is in this last sense that we can see it as part of the artistic avant-gardes of the 20th century. In the second place, the expressionist movement shows certain specific features that distinguish it from the rest of the avant-gardes, and which we will display along the essay. Since our object of study is a text, certain intellectual history and discourse analysis tools become necessary, so we will be working with the ones provided by Michel Foucault and Jonathan Culler. Finally, since our object is also a manifesto, that is, a specific discursive genre, we will have to analyze it with the tools provided by Eliseo Verón. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at analyzing how the work "Pelos + rede" by Brazilian Minas Gerais artist Laura Lima revisits and concomitantly dismantles the remains of the Brazilian anthropophagical cultural movement. Thus, questions are raised on what the artist herself called body in itself, which will be approached here through the disfiguring figures of hammock, hair and nudity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article makes a reformulation of the concepts of modernity and modern in relation to Brazilian art movements 1920s. The works of the leading exponents of Brazilian modernism, Oswald de Andrade and Mario de Andrade are put into dialogue with the theory of deconstruction to show how these two writers at the time foreshadowed what was said later by theorists of this line. In addition to showing the many faces of the modern in Brazil through the architectural change in Belo Horizonte, outlines the prospects for national modernization occurring in the work of authors from that region. Finally, put on reading lights pioneer Silviano Santiago in the revision of the borders that frame the terms modern, modernist, especially in the revaluation of the canonical figure of Mário de Andrade.

From a double anthropological view, the history of the film Luz silenciosa explores the inexplicable dimension in life through the revelation of the sacred. In this staging built on conventions of documentary and fantasy, breaks in a double unexpected purposes: metaphysical and cultural. Around this thesis, we analyze the dimension of cinematographic representation, in particular the point of view and the varying degrees of focus in order to evaluate in what sense Luz silenciosa is a sounding of the ways of life of the Mennonite community, to whom it gives voice and what kind of density the subject of religion and morality has. That is, we want to analyze the place of the sacred in Mennonite culture through analysis of the characters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This brief reflection on the work of Mario Conde begins by focussing on the special relationship the artist has with the technique of watercolor, exhibiting through that relationship an ethic based on copying. Out of that materiality, Conde builds his response to this moment in postmodernism in which art in general, and particularly Bolivian art, is developing given current social conditions. The ethic of copying is especially explored in two of his works: Exterminator Angel where appropriation addresses colonial issues that reappear in order to question and challenge the very notion of patria (homeland), and Drunk with power (Géricault in Los Andes) where the copy, adapted to the Andean world, distills a desire to reestablish the sacred [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El presente análisis tiene como objetivo analizar un poema póstumo de Francisco González León, incluido en el libro Las cuatro rosas (1963), para ubicarlo en la segunda etapa poética del escritor, caracterizada por una búsqueda del detalle plástico y sonoro, en diversos escenarios propios de la vida cotidiana. Posee un elemento distintivo, la búsqueda recurrente del yo lírico por hallar una imagen precisa, que describa la impresión de un instante de contemplación. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The halo of relativism around the work of art, left behind by Postmodernism, illuminates the work's meaning and its truth; however, also found under this light is the urgency of reclaiming the artistic importance of the work, and not of the subject This article addresses these questions in relation to other activities that share the same creative nature: music, architecture, or paining. Essentially, the work of art is a spatial-temporal entity, and as such, it comes to life acquiring its being, its meaning, and its evolution - as does the very subject itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
