"Transculturation: Cities, Spaces and Architectures in Latin
America" explores the critical potential inherent in the notion of
"transculturation" in order to understand contemporary
architectural practices and their cultural realities in Latin
America. Despite its enormous theoretical potential and its
importance within Latin American cultural theory, the term
transculturation had never permeated into architectural debates. In
fact, none of the main architectural theories produced in and about
Latin America during the second half of the twentieth century
engaged seriously with this notion as a way to analyze the complex
social, cultural and political circumstances that affect the
development of the continent's cities, its urban spaces and its
architectures. Therefore, this book demonstrates, for the first
time, that the term transculturation is an invaluable tool in
dismantling the essentialist, genealogical and hierarchical
perspectives from which Latin American architectural practices have
been viewed. "Transculturation: Cities, Spaces and Architectures"
in Latin America introduces new readings and interpretations of the
work of well-known architects, new analyses regarding the use of
architectural materials and languages, new questions to do with
minority architectures, gender and travel, and, from beginning to
end, it engages with important political and theoretical debates
that have rarely been broached within Latin American architectural
circles.
