Participation of women was increasing in the public sphere, and the exclusive emphasis on written culture was giving way to audio-visual communications. Motivated by a desire for self-representation both visually and in politics, female artists and activists transformed existing regimes of media and visuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen Made Visible\u003c\/i\u003e by Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda uses a transnational and interdisciplinary lens to analyze the fundamental and overlooked role played by artists and feminist activists in changing the ways female bodies were viewed and appropriated. Through their concern for self-representation (both visually and in formal politics), these women played a crucial role in transforming existing regimes of media and visuality--increasingly important intellectual spheres of action. Foregrounding the work of female artists and their performative and visual, rather than written, interventions in urban space in Mexico City, Aceves Sepúlveda demonstrates that these women feminized Mexico's mediascapes and shaped the debates over the female body, gender difference, and sexual violence during the last decades of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Weaving together the practices of activists, filmmakers, visual artists, videographers, and photographers, \u003ci\u003eWomen Made Visible\u003c\/i\u003e questions the disciplinary boundaries that have historically undermined the practices of female artists and activists and locates the development of Mexican second-wave feminism as a meaningful actor in the contested political spaces of the era, both in Mexico City and internationally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496213242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriela Aceves Sepúlveda \u003c\/b\u003eis an assistant professor in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45501028565107,"sku":"9781496213242","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_fb7ec6fa-76bc-4316-ba0d-9bfaf5a69c71.jpg?v=1789490392","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/women-made-visible-feminist-art-and-media-in-post-1968-mexico-city-9781496213242","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
