Latin American Modernisms and Technology

By Maria Fernandez

This collection of essays documents the creative involvement of Latin American artists and intellectuals with modern technologies from the nineteenth-century to the present. Acknowledging the extensiveness of the histories of both modern technologies and modernism, the essays cover a diversity of media, technologies, and conceptual aspects of techno-culture that Latin American thinkers have engaged with to depict individual and collective visions of sociocultural progress. To study these works in relation to the histories of art and media can lead scholars to rethink notions of artistic innovation and to generate new chronologies and theories for these histories.
