Title: Contraditório
Description: The book comprises "Two sets of texts that interwove and intertwine. One of them houses, in chronological order of their creation, five essays on how the contemporary visual production critically reacts to the global transformations in the processes of generation and transmission of goods and knowledge, precipitated since the beginning of the 1990's [...] The second set of texts in the book is made up of eight brief investigations of works by artists who comment, in their own way and from the environments in which they live, on particular aspects of these transformations: Rivane Neuenschwander, Bouchra Khalili, Emmanuel Nassar, Eustáquio Neves, Christine Meisner, Regina Parra, Paulo Nazareth and Cildo Meireles."
