description
Visual culture in Spain and Mexico analyses photographs, films, paintings, museum exhibitions and architecture to show how Hispanic visual culture is being used to manage or mediate the experience of risk. Following the introduction, the book is divided into six chapters; the first three chapters look at the impact of risk on aspects of life in Mexico City; the following three deal with Spain and, in particular, cultural politics and appropriation in the Basque Country. The study is at one and the same time a fine set of specific, richly-contextualized essays on visual cultural artefacts, their histories and modes of consumption and reception, and a broader examination of the role of visual culture in an age increasingly characterised by doom-laden analyses of global panics and pandemics. Brooksbank Jones also foregrounds the dynamizing potential of visual studies within Hispanic studies, and the re-siting of well-known cultural objects and institutions such as the Bilbao Guggenheim, the photographs of Daniela Rossell, or Picasso's 'Guernica' in new frames of reference, generating fresh ideas and modes of understanding
