Beskrivning
Envisioning Others offers a multidisciplinary view of the relationship between race and visual culture in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world, from the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal to colonial Peru and Colombia, post-Independence Mexico, and the pre-Emancipation United States. Contributed by specialists in Latin American and Iberian art history, literature, history, and cultural studies, its ten chapters take a transnational view of what ‘race’ meant, and how visual culture supported and shaped this meaning, within the Ibero-American sphere from the late Middle Ages to the modern era. Case studies and regionally-focused essays are balanced by historiographical and theoretical offerings for a fresh perspective that challenges the reader to discern broad intersections of race, color, and the visual throughout the Iberian world.Contributors are Beatriz Balanta, Charlene Villaseñor Black, Larissa Brewer-García, Ananda Cohen Suarez, Elisa Foster, Grace Harpster, Ilona Katzew, Matilde Mateo, Mey-Yen Moriuchi, and Erin Kathleen Rowe.

"...All of which is to say that the parts I found especially interesting in Envisioning Others were those that delved into or at least made the reader aware of strange and surprising categories and concepts that attempted to name and control difference.” Byron Ellsworth Hamann (Ohio State University) in The Medieval Review 16.11.31"Quem se dedica à cultura visual religiosa e seu impacto no cotidiano, inclusive a relação entre a religião proposta e praticada e o sistema de racismo, vai beneficiar-se significativamente e, eventualmente, encontrar inspiração para novos projetos de pesquisa, inclusive, em relação à escolha da metodologia... Em sua totalidade, a obra é um convite ao/à cientista da religião para investigar não somente o aspecto religioso nas representações da cultura material e visual brasileira, mas também as relações entre imagem, religião e gênero ou imagem, religião e trabalho ou imagem, religião e política e outras.”Helmut Renders in Horizonte, Belo Horizonte, v. 14, n. 42, p. 670-679, abr./jun. 2016
