Bringing Latin American popular art out of the margins and into the
center of serious scholarship, this book rethinks the cultural
canon and recovers previously undervalued cultural forms as art.
Juan Ramos uses ""decolonial aesthetics,"" a theory that frees the
idea of art from Eurocentric forms of expression and philosophies
of the beautiful, to examine the long decade of the 1960s in Latin
America-- time of cultural production that has not been studied
extensively from a decolonial perspective. Ramos looks at examples
of ""antipoetry,"" unconventional verse that challenges canonical
poets and often addresses urgent social concerns. He analyzes the
militant popular songs of nueva cancion by musicians including
Mercedes Sosa and Violeta Parra. He discusses films that use
visually shocking images and melodramatic effects to tell the
stories of Latin American nations. These art forms, he argues,
appeal to an aesthetic that involves all the senses. Instead of
being outdated byproducts of their historical moments, they
continue to influence Latin American cultural production today.
