In this pathfinding book, María Fernández uses the concept of cosmopolitanism to explore this important aspect of Mexican art, in which visual culture and power relations unite the local and the global, the national and the international, the universal and the particular. She argues that in Mexico, as in other colonized regions, colonization constructed power dynamics and forms of violence that persisted in the independent nation-state. Accordingly, Fernández presents not only the visual qualities of objects, but also the discourses, ideas, desires, and practices that are fundamental to the very existence of visual objects. Fernández organizes episodes in the history of Mexican art and architecture, ranging from the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth century, around the consistent but unacknowledged historical theme of cosmopolitanism, allowing readers to discern relationships among various historical periods and works that are new and yet simultaneously dependent on their predecessors. She uses case studies of art and architecture produced in response to government commissions to demonstrate that established visual forms and meanings in Mexican art reflect and inform desires, expectations, memories, and ways of being in the world?in short, that visual culture and cosmopolitanism are fundamental to processes of subjectification and identity. 410 0$aJoe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture 606 $aArt, Mexican$xThemes, motives 606 $aArchitecture$zMexico$xThemes, motives 606 $aEclecticism in art$zMexico 606 $aEclecticism in architecture$zMexico 606 $aNational characteristics, Mexican 615 0$aArt, Mexican$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aArchitecture$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aEclecticism in art 615 0$aEclecticism in architecture 615 0$aNational characteristics, Mexican. 676 $a709.72 700 $aFerna?ndez$b Mari?a$f1956-$01568632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789575103321 996 $aCosmopolitanism in Mexican visual culture$93840899 997 $aUNINA
