The central hypothesis is that, in representing the colonial world, writers often depict current social and political problems reflective of their own time, rendering visible the permanence of colonial structures in postcolonial Latin America over a period of roughly 40 years. The book explores the relationship between the colonial past and the present in four different Latin American countries (Argentina, Cuba, Mexico and Peru) and how the times in which the novels were written maintain a permanent dialogue with the colonial past, producing the sensation that time does not move forward, but has stopped, and that History is not a continuum but rather, moves circularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese novels suggest that Latin America exists in a perpetual crisis that produces several juxtapositions in time: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLa Colonia\u003c\/em\u003e survives simultaneously in the twentieth century. The modern order is erected on top of the hierarchies of a strong colonial order, but without completely discarding the former structure, thereby exposing the perpetual clash between tradition and modernity in the countries analyzed in my book. In order to point out this “ahistoricism” that paradoxically defines what is historical in Latin America, I argue that the novels place characters in a tangential situation with regard to the progress of history—stressing the fact that there is no linear movement of time.

The book explores the relationship between the colonial past and the present in four different Latin American countries (Argentina, Cuba, Mexico and Peru) and how the times in which the novels were written maintain a permanent dialogue with the colonial past, producing the sensation that time does not move forward, but has stopped, and that History is not a continuum but rather, moves circularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese novels suggest that Latin America exists in a perpetual crisis that produces several juxtapositions in time: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLa Colonia\u003c\/em\u003e survives simultaneously in the twentieth century.

When artists take the body as the subject of female experience and the medium of aesthetic experiment, they reveal a wealth of noncanonical approaches to art. The insertion of women's narratives into Chinese art history rewrites a historiography that has denied legitimacy to the woman artist. The gendering of sexuality reveals that the female body incites pleasure in women themselves, reversing the dynamic from woman as desired object to woman as desiring subject. The gendering of pain demonstrates that for those haunted by the sociopolitical past, the body can articulate traumatic memories and psychological torment. The gendering of space transforms the female body into an emblem of landscape devastation, remaps ruin aesthetics, and extends the politics of gender identity into cyberspace and virtual reality. The book presents a critical review of women's art in contemporary China in relation to art traditions, classical and contemporary. Inscribing the female body into art generates not only visual experimentation, but also interaction between local art\/cultural production and global perception. While artists may seek inspiration and exhibition space abroad, they often reject the (Western) label “feminist artist.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-03-03T15:01:20-05:00","created_at":"2021-03-03T15:00:03-05:00","vendor":"The Bowdoin Store","type":"Book","tags":["Art","Bowdoin Faculty","Non-Fiction"],"price":5299,"price_min":5299,"price_max":5299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":5500,"compare_at_price_min":5500,"compare_at_price_max":5500,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39256665817177,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"WBF283-Cui","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Gendered Bodies — Cui","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":5299,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":5500,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"9780824840037","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbf283-cui-gendered.jpg?v=1614802570"],"featured_image":"\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbf283-cui-gendered.jpg?v=1614802570","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Gendered Bodies by Shuqin Cui","id":20239877701721,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":552,"width":552,"src":"\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbf283-cui-gendered.jpg?v=1614802570"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":552,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbf283-cui-gendered.jpg?v=1614802570","width":552}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy Shuqin Cui, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bowdoin.edu\/profiles\/faculty\/scui2\/index.html\" title=\"Shuqin Cui faculty profile\"\u003eBowdoin Professor of Asian Studies and Cinema Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces readers to women's visual art in contemporary China by examining how the visual process of gendering reshapes understandings of historiography, sexuality, pain, and space. When artists take the body as the subject of female experience and the medium of aesthetic experiment, they reveal a wealth of noncanonical approaches to art. The insertion of women's narratives into Chinese art history rewrites a historiography that has denied legitimacy to the woman artist. The gendering of sexuality reveals that the female body incites pleasure in women themselves, reversing the dynamic from woman as desired object to woman as desiring subject. The gendering of pain demonstrates that for those haunted by the sociopolitical past, the body can articulate traumatic memories and psychological torment. The gendering of space transforms the female body into an emblem of landscape devastation, remaps ruin aesthetics, and extends the politics of gender identity into cyberspace and virtual reality. The book presents a critical review of women's art in contemporary China in relation to art traditions, classical and contemporary. Inscribing the female body into art generates not only visual experimentation, but also interaction between local art\/cultural production and global perception.
