What is the significance of the visual representation of
revolution? How is history articulated through public images? How
can these images communicate new histories of struggle? Imprints of
Revolution highlights how revolutions and revolutionary moments are
historically constructed and locally contextualized through the
visual. It explores a range of spatial and temporal formations to
illustrate how movements are articulated, reconstituted, and
communicated. The collective work illustrates how the visual serves
as both a mobilizing and demobilizing force in the wake of
globalization. Radical performances, cultural artefacts,
architectural and fashion design as well as social and print media
are examples of the visual mediums analysed as alternative archives
that propose new understandings of revolution. The volume
illustrates how revolution remains significant in visually
communicating and articulating social change with the ability to
transform our contemporary understanding of local, national, and
transnational spaces and processes.
Taking up the charge to study discourses of marginalized groups,
while simultaneously extending scholarship about Latina/os in the
field of Communication, Latina/o Discourse in Vernacular Spaces:
Somos de Una Voz? provides the most current work examining the
vernacular voices of Latina/os. The editors of this diverse
collection structure the book along four topics Locating
Foundations, Citizenship and Belonging, The Politics of
Self-Representation, and Trans/National Voces that are guided by
the organizing principle of voz/voces voice/voces]. Voz/voces
resonates not only in intellectual endeavors but also in public
arenas in which perceptions of Latina/os' being of one voice
circulate. The study of voz/voces proceeds from a variety of sites
including cultural myth, social movement, music, testimonios, a
website, and autoethnographic performance. By questioning and
addressing the politics of voz/voces, the essays collectively
underscore the complexity that shapes Latina/o multivocality.
Ultimately, the contours of Latina/o vernacular expressions call
attention to the ways that these unique communities continue to
craft identities that transform social understandings of who
Latina/os are, to engage in forms of resistance that alter
relations of power, and to challenge self- and dominant
representations.
