Imaginación infinita
En esta entrevista, concedida por correo electrónico entre el 9 y el 23 de marzo de 2022 y realizada en español, el artista uruguayo Luis Camnitzer responde preguntas sobre el momento de revisión histórica que estamos viviendo, su relación con las pedagogías del poder y el rol de las instituciones. El artista también reflexiona sobre la aparentemente renovada necesidad de mediación del arte frente a su posible exceso de pedagogización y cómo esto…
O Papel Do Mercado Na Legitimação Artística E Alguns Reflexos Para Histórias Da Arte Em Construção / the Role of the Market for Artistic Legitimation and Some Reflexes for Art Histories Under Construc…
O mundo contemporâneo apresenta uma série de desafios para o sistema da arte. Mudanças econômicas, sociais, culturais e organizacionais na década passada produziram um mercado global de arte cuja influência já atinge desde a produção artística à programação de importantes instituições. O número de museus privados cresce, enquanto instituições públicas não possuem verba para investir em novas aquisições para suas coleções. Nesse cenário, nos pergu…
Das reconfigurações contemporâneas do(s) sistema(s) da arte
Buscando complexificar o conceito de sistema da arte na contemporaneidade, este artigo apresenta algumas de suas principais características e mecanismos de operação nas últimas décadas. Para tanto e a partir das três esferas elementares de legitimação, o tripé produção-distribuição-consumo, atores e situações foram sendo adicionados para dar conta da realidade atual, como o papel do curador ou da feira de arte. Nesse sentido, aponto como a noção …
Documenta 14
Sob elogios e muitas controvérsias, a documenta 14, com direção artística do polonês Adam Szymczyk, foi pautada por um forte discurso curatorial. Tendo se dividido entre sua habitual localização na cidade de Kassel, na Alemanha, e a capital da Grécia, a grande mostra partiu do mote “Learning from Athens”, para apresentar uma abordagem de caráter político, que problematizou complexas discussões da contemporaneidade ao mesmo tempo em que se propôs …
Documenta 14
Under praise and many controversies, documenta 14, with Polish Adam Szymczyk as its art director, was marked by a strong curatorial discourse. Divided between its usual location in the German city of Kassel and the capital of Greece, the great show used the motto “Learning from Athens” to present a political approach that debated complex discussions of contemporaneity while questioning historical narratives on art
Brazilian Female Artists and the Market
Various historical and sociological studies focusing on the relationship between gender and art show that women’s participation in the Western art market, although it has increased, continues to represent a minority. However, the Brazilian case proves to be something of an exception, in that women artists occupy positions of prestige in local and international rankings. This article examines the specificities of the Brazilian art system, which ha…
The 30th Bienal de São Paulo
The 30th Bienal de São Paulo, nicknamed “A Iminência das Poéticas” (“The Imminence of Poetics”), from September 7 to December 9, 2012 and situated at the the Bienal’s Pavilion at Ibirapuera Park is organized by curator Luis Pérez-Oramas and partner curators André Severo and Tobi Maier, together with assistant curator Isabela Villanueva. We had the opportunity to converse with Perez-Oramas and Severo in October 4 and 11, respectively

Human Initiative in Mortality Reduction Toward a Redefinition of Historical Mortality

El Dorado in West Africa
If I had Known that 35 Years Ago
The process of normal scholarship leads young historians to focus on their fields of research with an intensity that is unparalleled during their academic careers. It is no wonder that after a certain interval many change directions, if only to escape the tyranny of the overly familiar. Occasionally, however, we encounter a new approach to our old questions, which forcibly brings us back to our original topic, not with the initial ardor but with …
Trois siècles de politiques gouvernementales en faveur de la santé publique
State initiatives over the past three hundred years have played an important role in lowering mortality levels from approximately forty per thousand per year to less than ten. These policies have depended on a combination of medical knowledge, political will, and financial resources. This paper examines state initiatives which reduced national crude death rates from famine, smallpox, water-borne diseases, and tuberculosis. Despite divergent natio…

Under the circumstances it is particularly regre…
Changing determinants of african mineworker mortality
En comparant les changements intervenus dans les causes de décès au sein de deux des plus grandes compagnies minières d'Afrique, il est possible de mieux cerner les caractéristiques des forces productives et les différences dans les politiques médicales de ces compagnies. Tant le "Corner House Group" de Witwatersrand que l'Union Minière du Katanga ont été réticents à rendre public les niveaux de mortalité parmi leurs travailleurs africains et les…
Pitfalls in the Application of Demographic Insights to African History
Twenty–one collaborators and I recently have championed the use of demographic insights in the reconstruction of African history. The advocacy, however, does not mean that we endorse all uses to which demography has been put in the recent literature. We all recognize the delicacy of transferring methods from one discipline to another. In this essay I would like to suggest five pitfalls into which some distinguished scholars have fallen as a cauti…
Paths in the Rainforests
Vansina's scope is breathtaking: he reconstructs the history of the forest lands that cover all or part of southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Congo, Zaire, the Central African Republic, and Cabinda in Angola, discussing the original settlement of the forest by the western Bantu; the periods of expansion and innovation in agriculture; the development of metallurgy; the rise and fall of political forms and of power; the coming of Atla…

A Working Class in the Making
For colonial administrators and the Belgian banks, the Belgian Congo was an immensely rich source of raw materials; diamonds, gold, manganese, oils, nuts, tobacco, peanuts, etc. One of the major forms of exploitation of the Congo was the effort to set up mining companies and to force Africans to work in the mines to extract these resources. Focusing on the most powerful of these mining companies the Union Miniere du Haut-Katange, John Higginson p…
The Luluabourg Revolt at Elisabethville
The revolt at the Luluabourg garrison in 1944 represents an important but as yet inadequately understood episode in the development of Congolese nationalism. l It marks the first effort by an organized group of Congolese to gain political control of their country, but at the time it revealed the enormity of the effort that would be required to get rid of Belgian rule. Because of the complexity of the revolt and the limited materials at the author…

Distant Companions
When I was taught anthropology," wrote James Murray, who from 1929 on spent over thirty years in the colonial service in Northern Rhodesia, "we learnt how to put bird seeds in skulls, about totemism and exogamy, and a Mr. Malinowski startled us all with a theory about ignorance of paternity.We also read little bits in a long book called 'The Golden Bough/ I do not think anybody taught us about masters and servants.Certainly I cannot remember Dr. …

Demography from Scanty Evidence-Central Africa in the Colonial Era
Intended as a manual for reconstructing the demographic past of Central Africa, this book attempts to re-cover the pre-1960 demography of an African region on the basis of colonial statistics. It includes a set of case studies that synthesize a variety of aspects
The Dissolution of the Colonial Empires
A Spurious Correlation of r=.70
Despite the slender evidentiary base of surviving sources, historians would dearly like to know more about colonial vital rates. In the absence of hard data, speculation has run rampant about changes in fertility and mortality. Were African birth rates always as high as they are today? Did the early years of colonial rule bring about rises in the deathrates in all areas and to the same degree? Researchers are now combing the available evidence fo…

The Missing Migrants
The three principal components of demography--fertility, mortality, and migration--can each provide information for reconstructing elements of the African past. Birth rate, more than anything else, determines the reproduction of the labor force, a particular concern of many historians. Death rate is an existential measure of the quality of life; any assessment of the long-run effects of colonial rule must take into account any discernable changes…
Malawi
The colonization of Malawi produced a revolution in spatial relations among the inhabitants of the territory. Individuals in different parts of the country experienced colonization in different ways. These divergent effects were the result of three different spatial variables: the location of administrative centers, schools and-paradoxically, least importantly-the African population. The process began in the early 1890s during the regime of the f…

The Union Miniere and Its Hinterland
Much of the current literature on the colonization of Central Africa rests on Immanuel Wallerstein's thesis that the major determinant in the lives of the local population was the incorporation of the region into the modern world system determined by international capitalism. In this process Africans were transformed from the principal actors in local economic systems to dependent producers of primary products exchanged at unfavorable terms in th…
