Science and the (meta)physical body: a critique of positivism in the Vasconcelian utopia -- Painting Mestizaje in a new light: racial, technological, and cultural hybridity in the murals of Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco -- Emilio Fernández, Gabriel Figueroa, and the race for Mexico's body: immunization and Lamarckian genetics -- Colonizing resistance: liminal imperiality in the cinema of El Santo and in Carlos Olvera's Mejicanos en el Espacio. |
| Summary |
This book discusses the work of José Vasconcelos, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, El Santo, and Carlos Olvera. These artists--and many others--held diametrically opposed worldviews and used very different media while producing works during different decades. Nevertheless, each of these artists posited the fusion of the body with technology as key to forming an "authentic," Mexican identity. |
