If colonial America was the melting pot of modernity, it was because it was also a fabulous laboratory of images. . . . Just as much as speech and writing, the image can be a vehicle for all sorts of power and resistance. So writes Serge Gruzinski in the introduction to "Images at War, "his" "striking reinterpretation of the Spanish colonization of Mexico." "Concentrating on the political meaning of the baroque image and its function within a multicultural society, Gruzinski compares its ubiquity in Mexico to our modern fascination with images and their meaning."

What Time Is It There?
ISBN: 9780745647531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What Time is it There? is a history of worlds that encounter each other without ever meeting. The title comes from a film by Tsai Ming-liang which explores the desire to conquer the barriers of space and time by abolishing time differences and inventing substitutes for a coveted elsewhere. This preoccupation with other worlds and consciousness of the differences that separate them have become a persistent theme of our world today, shaped as it has been by the complex flows of people, images and ideas that we have come to associate with the term 'globalization'. But the dismantling of...

The Mestizo Mind: The Intellectual Dynamics of Colonization and Globalization
ISBN: 9780415928793 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A Mestizo is a person of mixed blood - specifically, a person of mixed European and American Indian ancestry. Historian Serge Gruzinski here offers a critique of colonization and globalization. Looking at the 15th century colonization of Latin America, Gruzinski documents the melange that resulted: colonized mating with colonizers; Indians joining the Catholic Church and colonial government; and Amerindian visualizations of Jesus and Perseus. These physical and cultural encounters created a new culture, a new individual and a phenomenon we now call globalization.
