Sovereign Joy explores the performance of festive black kings and queens among Afro-Mexicans between 1539 and 1640. This fascinating study illustrates how the first African and Afro-creole people in colonial Mexico transformed their ancestral culture into a shared identity among Afro-Mexicans, with particular focus on how public festival participation expressed their culture and subjectivities, as well as redefined their colonial condition and social standing. By analyzing this hitherto understudied aspect of Afro-Mexican Catholic confraternities in both literary texts and visual culture, Miguel A. Valerio teases out the deeply ambivalent and contradictory meanings behind these public processions and festivities that often re-inscribed structures of race and hierarchy. Were they markers of Catholic subjecthood, and what sort of corporate structures did they create to project standing and respectability? Sovereign Joy examines many of these possibilities, and in the process highlights the central place occupied by Africans and their descendants in colonial culture. Through performance, Afro-Mexicans affirmed their being: the sovereignty of joy, and the joy of sovereignty.

"Christina Ramos reconstructs the history of this overlooked colonial hospital from its origins in 1567 to its transformation in the eighteenth century, when it began to admit a growing number of patients transferred from the Inquisition and secular criminal courts. Drawing on the poignant voices of patients, doctors, friars, and inquisitors, Ramos treats San Hipólito as both a microcosm and a colonial laboratory of the Hispanic Enlightenment--a site where traditional Catholicism and rationalist models of madness mingled in surprising ways. She shows how the emerging ideals of order, utility, rationalism, and the public good came to reshape the institutional and medical management of madness. While the history of psychiatry's beginnings has often been told as seated in Europe, Ramos proposes an alternative history of madness's medicalization that centers colonial Mexico and places religious figures, including inquisitors, at the pioneering forefront"--

Taller Héctor Barroso was founded by Héctor Barroso in 2011 in Mexico City, Mexico. The office strives to generate architectural proposals that sink their roots in the local environment and make the most of the natural resources in each place: the incidence of light and shadows, the surrounding vegetation, the geographical features and the local materials and construction techniques. The studio’s architecture thus emerges in harmony with the site. It generates spaces with an emotional content that evoke memories and highlight the habitable quality of the architectural exercise.

"Hernán Cortés enters Mehxicoh-Tenoxtitlan with his nine captains, his two translators -the friar Aguilar and Malinalli, interpreter and lover-, his troops and their horses. There the princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of Moctezuma, entertains them with a meal, accompanied by the priests, and later the emperor Moctezuma himself will receive the caudillo Cortés. Some have never seen horses in their lives, others have never tasted chocolate until now. The Spaniards are welcome in the city, but one of Cortés' subordinates, Jazmín Caldera, does not dare to tell him that the worry had never been how to get to Tenoxtitlan, but how to get out once they were inside. On November 8, 1519, the meeting between Cortés and Moctezuma takes place, whom no one can look directly in the face if he does not first give his permission. It is the meeting between two worlds, two empires, two languages, two worldviews. What happened? What could happen? Where does the truth end and the legend begin? How to approach history from fiction? Álvaro Enrigue has written a powerful narrative: a possible version of the meeting that changed the history of the world, a novel wrapped in mysteries, violence, desire for power and dreams that have been empires"--Publisher's website. "Hernán Cortés entra en Mehxicoh-Tenoxtitlan con sus nueve capitanes, sus dos traductores -el fraile Aguilar y Malinalli, intérprete y amante-, su tropa y sus caballos. Allí los agasaja con una comida la princesa Atotoxtli, hermana y esposa de Moctezuma, acompañada por los sacerdotes, y más adelante el propio emperador Moctezuma recibirá al caudillo Cortés. Unos no han visto jamás en su vida caballos, los otros nunca hasta ahora han probado el chocolate. Los españoles son bien recibidos en la ciudad, pero uno de los subalternos de Cortés, Jazmín Caldera, no se atreve a decirle que lo preocupante nunca había sido cómo llegar a Tenoxtitlan, sino cómo salir una vez que estuvieran adentro. El ocho de noviembre de 1519 se produce el encuentro entre Cortés y Moctezuma, a quien nadie puede mirar directamente a la cara si él no le da primero su permiso. Es el encuentro entre dos mundos, dos imperios, dos idiomas, dos cosmovisiones. ¿Qué sucedió? ¿Qué pudo suceder? ¿Dónde acaba la verdad y empieza la leyenda? ¿Cómo abordar la historia desde la ficción? Álvaro Enrigue ha escrito una poderosa narración: una versión posible del encuentro que cambió la historia del mundo, una novela envuelta en misterios, violencia, ansias de poder y sueños que han sido imperios" --Publisher's website.

The Belgian artist Francis Alÿs (b. Antwerp, 1959) makes work that is as multifaceted as it is poetically subversive. Straddling the line between performative conceptual art and community intervention, his films and drawings chart the political and social realities of urban spaces. One of his most imposing long-term projects is Children's Games, for which he documents children playing all over the world, from Paris and Mexico City to the Yezidi refugee camp Sharya in Iraq. The richly illustrated book contains ideas and sketches he compiled in preparation for this series. It lets us glimpse into the engine room of his artistic practice, revealing key elements of his filmic poetics. An essay by the ethnographer and filmmaker David MacDougall embeds Alÿs's observations of children's play in the contexts of childhood studies as well as the history of ethnographic documentary film. -- (publisher's description)

What will the art museum look and feel like in five, ten, fifty years? In his previous book, The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues (2020), New York-based cultural strategist András Szántó interviewed a group of international museum directors who espoused an expanding set of goals and functions for museums. Now, in the follow-up volume, Szántó engages in conversations with visionary architects worldwide about what sort of "hardware" will be required for the more flexible, porous, human-centered, culturally responsive, digitally amplified, and environmentally responsible institutions of tomorrow.

"The Health of Others trains a critical lens on global health to share the stories that global health's practices and logics tell about 20th and 21st century configurations of science and power. An ethnography on multiple scales, the book focuses on global health's key epistemic and therapeutic practices like localization, measurement, triage, markets, technology, care, and regulation. Its roving approach traverses policy centers, sites of intervention, and innumerable spaces in between to consider what happens when globalized logics, circulations, and actors work to imagine, modify, and manage health. By resting in these in-between places, The Health of Others simultaneously examines global health as a coherent system and as a dynamic, unpredictable collection of modular parts"--
