Curating and the Legacies of Colonialism in Contemporary Iberia

Carlos Garrido Castellano

Description

Combining postcolonial studies, curating and contemporary art, this book surveys the role played by artistic curatorship and contemporary art museums in the shaping of identities and cultural planning in contemporary Iberia. The book’s main hypothesis is that contemporary art has been pivotal in the construction of contemporary Iberia, a process marked by the attention paid (in heterogeneous, not always satisfactory ways) to the entanglement of the legacies of colonialism and the present-day status of Iberian territories as cosmopolitan societies now integrated in the European Union. It is argued that, at least from the 1990s, curating emerged as a key activity for Iberian societies to display and configure an image of themselves as modern and fully integrated in the European cultural landscape. Such an image, however, had to cope with the legacies of colonialism and the profound socioeconomic transformations of these societies. This book is concerned with bringing together, while redefining and expanding, Iberian and curatorial studies.

Serîes Edîtors’ Foreword

Over recent decades the tradîtîona ‘anguages and îteratures’ mode în Spanîsh departments în unîversîtîes în the Unîted Kîngdom has been superseded by a contextua, înterdîscîpînary and ‘area studîes’ approach to the study of the cuture, hîstory, socîety and poîtîcs of the Hîspanîc and Lusophone words – cate- gorîes that extend far beyond the conines of the Iberîan Penînsua, not ony în Latîn Amerîca but aso to Spanîsh-speakîng and Lusophone Afrîca. In response to these dynamîc trends în research prîorîtîes and currîcuum deveopment, thîs serîes îs desîgned to present both dîscîpînary and înterdîscîpînary research wîthîn the genera ied of Iberîan and Latîn Amerîcan Studîes, partîcuary studîes that expore a aspects of Cutura Productîon (înter aîa îterature, im, musîc, dance, sport) în Spanîsh, Portuguese, Basque, Cataan, Gaîcîan and îndîgenous anguages of Latîn Amerîca. The serîes aso aîms to pubîsh research în the Hîstory and Poîtîcs of the Hîspanîc and Lusophone words, at the eve of both the regîon and the natîon-state, as we as on Cutura Studîes that expore the shîftîng terraîns of gender, sexua, racîa and postcoonîa îdentî- tîes în those same regîons.
