De Habsburgos a Borbones. Legistas y canonistas en la Real Universidad de México
2020
A lo largo de todo el periodo colonial, la Universidad de México fue mayoritariamente canonista en cuanto a las preferencias de sus estudiantes juristas. Sin embargo, hemos podido comprobar que para el tránsito de los siglos XVII a XVIII se aprecia alguna diferencia o particularidad, en cuanto que, respecto a algunos parámetros, las referencias sobre Leyes llegan a superar a las de Cánones. La cronología de esta singularidad resulta coincidente con los cambios en la política de nombramiento de las autoridades novohispanas, especialmente para la Audiencia. En este estudio intentamos acercarnos a la relación explicativa que pudiera haber entre estas dos realidades, cuestionándonos algunas pos…
Romain D. Huret, American Tax Resisters
2014
À l’occasion d’un dîner privé organisé pour financer sa campagne présidentielle de 2012, le candidat du Parti républicain, Mitt Romney, prononça un discours, enregistré à son insu, au cours duquel il expliquait candidement à son auditoire que « 47 % des gens voteront pour le président [Obama] quoi qu’il arrive. Ces 47 % qui le soutiennent sont des assistés. Ils se voient comme des victimes, ils pensent que le gouvernement est responsable de leur bien-être […] Ce sont des gens qui ne sont pas ...
(De)constructing “America”: the Case of Emir Kusturica’s Arizona Dream (1993)
2010
By means of an analysis of Kusturica’s only film about America, Arizona Dream, this article argues that while the United States offers a vision of a united society founded on diversity, it also represses, altering in the process both society and the landscape. National unity is consequently a dream – a dream the film suggests that has often been dreamed up by un-Americans. Filtered through Kusturica’s own perceptions of America – and his position on the Balkan War (1991-2001) – the film seems to suggest sadness at the loss of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural perspective. Through its representations of geography and ethnic diversity, and its dense network of filmic citations, what Arizona Drea…

Antoine Traisnel, Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition
2021
You can’t judge a book by its cover. Or so they say. But the cover of Antoine Traisnel’s Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition is striking and, one is tempted to say, captivating. And so is the book. The cover features colorful images of various birds—such as the ruby-throated hummingbird, the tufted coquette or the buff-tailed sicklebill—taken from one of the most impressive plates in Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature) and interlaced on ...
Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance.
2010
Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance, titre d’une photographie qu’August Sander prit en 1914, hante le roman éponyme de Richard Powers. Cette photographie faisait partie d’un projet plus vaste, intitulé « Hommes du vingtième siècle » par Sander qui entendait dresser un inventaire des habitants de sa province natale, le Westerwald. Sander composa ainsi un catalogue de plus de 600 photos d’Allemands de tous types, dont il fit plus tard paraître une partie sous le nom de Visage de notre temps. Dans le roman de Richard Powers, le motif de la série se déploie entre les pôles incarnés par Henry Ford et August Sander, dont les séries de voitures et de photographies deviennent la métaphore du mode…
Una realidad social escindida: Las memorias de las peras y las manzanas en el Chile reciente
2014
Forty years after the military coup that bloodied Chile during the years of military dictatorship, the country is still splitted with a society which is still in a traumatic situation. In this paper we have worked with audio-visual sources, which we call Video Format Documents (VFD), produced from the sixties onwards. This article is based on sources that allow us a deeper understanding of the society in which they were produced; a society −as it is said by a character of one of the most successful films in Chile−, divided into pears and apples.
“From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature”
2016
This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century. One of the main motivations behind the associations between Native Americans and the Ancient World made in the early decades of the nineteenth century was to “elevate” Indians in order to transform them into worthy symbols of the recently established United States. Such associations also rendered them suitable subjects for treatment by authors inspired to a large extent by the Romantic Moveme…
La construcción ideológica de la Restauración en Nueva España (1814-1816)
2020
La vuelta de Fernando VII en 1814 a la península y el golpe de Estado por el que procedió a anular la Constitución de Cádiz no supusieron, a ambos lados del Atlántico, un retorno a la situación previa a la crisis de 1808. Este trabajo examina dicho problema en el virreinato de la Nueva España desde el ámbito de los discursos para el periodo que transcurre entre 1814 y 1816. Para ello se relacionan tres perspectivas. En primer lugar, se confrontan algunos de los distintos proyectos que se plantearon dentro del absolutismo para efectuar la Restauración. Seguidamente, examinamos aquellos componentes teóricos que los intelectuales de la contrarrevolución utilizaron para legitimarla. Este proyec…
