{"product_id":"remex","title":"REMEX","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eREMEX\u003c\/i\u003e presents the first comprehensive examination of artistic responses and contributions to an era defined by the North American Free Trade Agreement (1994-2008). Marshaling over a decade's worth of archival research, interviews, and participant observation in Mexico City and the Mexico-US borderlands, Amy Sara Carroll considers individual and collective art practices, recasting NAFTA as the most fantastical inter-American allegory of the turn of the millennium. Carroll organizes her interpretations of performance, installation, documentary film, built environment, and body, conceptual, and Internet art around three key coordinates-City, Woman, and Border. She links the rise of 1990s Mexico City art in the global market to the period's consolidation of Mexico-US border art as a genre. She then interrupts this transnational art history with a sustained analysis of chilanga and Chicana artists' remapping of the figure of Mexico as Woman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA tour de force that depicts a feedback loop of art and public policy-what Carroll terms the \"allegorical performative\"-\u003ci\u003eREMEX\u003c\/i\u003e adds context to the long-term effects of the post-1968 intersection of D.F. performance and conceptualism, centralizes women artists' embodied critiques of national and global master narratives, and tracks post-1984 border art's \"undocumentation\" of racialized and sexualized reconfigurations of North American labor pools. The book's featured artwork becomes the lens through which Carroll rereads a range of events and phenomenon from California's Proposition 187 to Zapatismo, US immigration policy, 9\/11 (1973\/2001), femicide in Ciudad Juárez, and Mexico's war on drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Univ of Chicago behalf of University of Texas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67571623690607,"sku":"9781477311370","price":252.65,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1477311378.jpg?v=1790379547","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/remex","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
