Manzo, Lidia K. ed. Culture and Visual Forms of Power. Experiencing Contemporary Spaces of Resistance

Abstract

This volume presents a collection of essays that were first presented in a coauthored panel session organized in 2012 under the conference theme “Visual Activism and Social Justice” at the International Sociological Association (ISA) Forum in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The editor is intellectually indebted and grateful to the session participants for their collaboration and individual efforts over the course of two years. This stimulating venture brought together scholars from the global north and south. I thank Beatriz Nussbaumer, Carlos Cowan Ros, Emiliana Armano, Fabiene Gama, Karen Crinall, Tamara Bellone, and Verónica Devalle for the willingness to share your collective wisdom, individual perspectives, and extensive knowledge. To Enzo Colombo and Timothy Shortell I am especially grateful for your insightful remarks featured at the beginning and end of the volume.
