The contributors build from historical and ethnographic archives and direct engagement with makers to reassemble an expanded vision of artisanal production in Mexico and the complicated classifications that surround Mexican popular art-making—from the American “craft” to the Spanish “artesanía.” This book also homages Dr. Janet Brody Esser’s research on the Blackmen masquerades of Michoacán, exploring African culture in Mexico. The contributors provide wide-ranging insight into the colonial influences on Mexican popular art and its translation as well as the agency of creators and actors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Introducing Things: Between the Lines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Translating Insides and Outsides, Materials and Gestures, Nomadic Aesthetics and Community\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Artisans and Crafts in Post-revolutionary Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Case of the Rebozo: Stereotypes about Mexicanidad and Femininity in the Art of the Nineteenth Century\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Performative Materiality, Masks and Masking in Teloloapan, Guerrero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Indigenous Aesthetics and “Glocalization”: Recursive Agencies and Reflexivity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Identity, Female Empowerment and Resistance through Textile Crafts in the Purépecha Region of Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: The Triqui Huipil as a Representation of Territory: Women Immigrants between Oaxaca and San Luis Potosí\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Two: Fortleben: Calling Forth, Living Forth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Pondering Fortleben: An interview with Janet Esser\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Winter Ceremonial Masks of the Tarascan Sierra, Michoacán, Mexico—Selected Excerpts \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: Afterword\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042676703575,"sku":"9781793639974","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793639974.jpg?v=1750955135","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/performing-craft-in-mexico-artisans-aesthetics-and-the-power-of-translation-9781793639974","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
