Imagining Modernity in the Andes is an interdisciplinary work that
deals with the intersection of projects of modernity with
constructions of race and ethnicity in the Andes. This book focuses
initially on Indigenismo, attempting to recuperate the intellectual
energy of writers and artists from the twenties who rewrote
political and cultural discourse in an irreversible manner, and
concludes with a consideration of the new configurations of
indigeneity that are emerging today not only in the Andes but
across the globe. The multidisciplinary work of Jose Maria Arguedas
occupies a privileged place in this study and his anthropological
work is analyzed in the context of an ideological climate. In
addition to considering sociological and anthropological accounts,
Archibald examines representations of urbanization and social
informality by four Peruvian novelists, pointing to the prevalence
of the troupe of the grotesque as a metaphor for the
unmanageability associated with cities of the South. Finally,
Imagining Modernity in the Andes analyzes the implications of the
emergence of new visual media in a culture context long defined by
the oral-textual divide, and considers the continued relevance of
the concept of transculturation in a transnational and
post-literary context.
