La geopolítica estética del Antropoceno en la mega Ciudad de México
En este artículo se explora el potencial epistémico y discursivo de la imagen en los debates sobre el proceso de autodestrucción que provoca el desarrollo de las megaciudades en el Antropoceno. Se enfoca el caso paradigmático de la Ciudad de México. Las ocho fotografías seleccionadas –también llamadas imágenes de reflexión– perfilan, siguiendo a Bruno Latour, las alteraciones geomorfológicas como políticas terrestres. Este análisis, fuente del co…
Ciudad Juárez
El artículo explora la metodología de los estudios visuales – Bildwissenschaft , “ciencia” de la imagen– para interpretar el desierto como un espacio epistémico en términos ambientales y políticos, ejemplificado en el caso del frontera entre Ciudad Juárez y El Paso. Además, se perfila este territorio urbano en una zona desértica como un laboratorio del futuro proximo con un aumento de la global crisis climática

From Aristotle’s practical philosophy up to the current tourist view of the city, where the relics of the past –cathedrals, castles, or town…

From Aristotle's practical philosophy up to the current tourist view of the city, where the relics of the past - cathedrals, castles, or tow…
Aesthetics and Anthropology of Megacities
This paper deals with the aesthetic and anthropological research on the image of the megacities in the early 21st century, focusing on the case of Mexico City. Since art history has been revised and developed towards a “science of the image” —Bildwissenschaft in German—, objects and methods of research have been widely extended, so that even a topic like “megacities”, formerly monopolized by sociology, geography and economical studies, can be acc…
