Art in Orbit”
This article explores the place of São Paulo within the rapidly changing international cultural geography of the post-World War II period. Using a transnational and multidisciplinary lens, and focusing on the rich dynamic between São Paulo and New York, I argue for the centrality of São Paulo in several different yet related historical and cultural processes: The emergence of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as a global institution; the int…
The Making of New York’s Avenue of the Americas
This article explores the revitalization of the Avenue of the Americas. It follows the efforts of leading New Yorkers to transform the Avenue into a more profitable space while turning it into the political, commercial, and cultural capital of the Western Hemisphere.

By focusing on these two related developments and the discourses that shaped them—one that framed the new Park…

And yet, despite a long tradition in urban studies among scholars working on the United States, Canada, and Latin America, few authors have explored the cities of the Western Hemisphere in a cohesive and unifying manner. Studies that have attempted to weave together the histories …
