Title: Historia del arte y estudios de cultura visual
Description: This collective work, which commemorates the 85th anniversary of the Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas (UNAM), comprises an important number of articles that allow us to appreciate the heterogeneity of research lines of the members of the Institute, the plurality of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks they use, as well as the different historical periods they study: ancient Mexico and indigenous art, the Nueva España, the 19th century, modern art and contemporary art and visual culture. Each researcher selected a single work as the starting point of a short essay, in which both the uniqueness of the selected piece and the methodology used in their study stand out. That is, it is a volume in which each researcher shows, through the analysis of an artistic work or an image, their intellectual interests and where readers can know the different ways of approaching a problem from the perspective of art history, curatorship, art criticism, gender studies , musicology and visual culture studies, to name but a few of the approaches used in essays.
