¿Qué convierte a una fotografía en documento? ¿En qué momento una imagen deja de ser registro para volverse reliquia, patrimonio o acción política?Este volumen colectivo reúne ocho investigaciones que revisan la tradicion de lectura contextual de la fotografia y proponen nuevos enfoques para comprender su potencia historica y social. Desde fines del siglo XIX hasta inicios del XXI, los capitulos recorren imagenes vinculadas con la Guerra Cristera, la prensa y los conflictos internacionales, las fiestas y tradiciones en transformacion, los rituales obreros de conmemoracion, la memoria comunitaria, la arquitectura urbana, el registro de objetos arqueologicos y el artivismo feminista contra el feminicidio.Coordinado por Rebeca Monroy Nasr, Alberto del Castillo Troncoso e Isaura Silvia Oseguera Pizana (INAH), La mirada documental muestra como las imagenes se producen, circulan y se activan en contextos especificos, y como esa vida social de la fotografia abre nuevas preguntas sobre memoria, violencia, patrimonio y cultura visual.

Cada persona que intenta comprender el mundo actual puede encontrar en Antonio Gramsci reflexiones útiles y adaptables a su propio tiempo y a sus circunstancias; sin embargo, para quien se adentra en su estudio en especial en cuestiones de arte y literatura, sus articulos periodisticos y los Cuadernos de la carcel, que conforman el nucleo de su obra, redactados sin recursos de investigacion y concebidos desde una perspectiva marxista mas que como una teoria sistematica, pueden parecer un conjunto laberintico de ideas sobre la relacion entre los artistas, la historia y la sociedad que requiere contextualizacion. Esta edicion de los textos de Gramsci sobre arte busca facilitar esa tarea, al combinar una interpretacion situada en el marco del marxismo y la filosofia italiana del siglo XX con una amplia panoramica de los principales temas tratados por el autor y una cuidada y erudita traduccion.

The History of Painting in Italy offers a rigorous survey of the peninsulas schools from the Trecento to the late eighteenth century, balancing connoisseurial attention to technique with a lucid taxonomy of regional styles. Lanzi maps the interplay of disegno and colorito, traces lineages from Giotto through Raphael, Titian, Correggio, and the Carracci, and corrects partisan narratives by grounding judgments in autopsy, documents, and inscriptions. His prose is sober and precise, embodying Enlightenment ideals while superseding Vasaris anecdotal model with a critical, comparative history. Trained as a Jesuit and later employed in Florences grand-ducal collections, Lanzi honed philological habits and direct looking as a curator and cataloger, reorganizing galleries by schools and chronology. Extensive travels through Italy, access to archives and private cabinets, and parallel antiquarian research on the Etruscans furnished him with a uniquely panoramic view. His engagement with contemporary scholarshipfrom connoisseurs and classicistsshaped a method that privileges verified attribution, regional context, and the evolution of style. Students, curators, and collectors will find this a foundational synthesis and an indispensable guide to attributions, provenance, and historiography. Read it alongside Vasari to see how modern art history emerges: clearer, stricter, yet alive to local genius and national tradition.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Modern Painters (Vol. 15) is Ruskins great Victorian treatise on landscape, fusing lyrical cadence with minute observation. Over seventeen years he vindicates Turner and the principle of "truth to nature," opposing academic formulae with analyses of clouds, rocks, foliage, and light informed by geology and travel. He coins the "pathetic fallacy," frames a moral theology of seeing, and links Giotto to the Pre-Raphaelites. Born to a cultivated wine-merchant father and exposed early to Turners work, Ruskin joined evangelical rigor, Oxford study, and Alpine sketchbooks. Travels through Switzerland and Italy taught him to measure mountains and skies before reputations; the first volume (1843) began as a defense of Turner against hostile critics. Later volumes deepen his synthesis of science, theology, and connoisseurship. This is indispensable for artists, historians, and attentive readers. Approach it for lessons in looking: how perception bears ethical weight and how description can rise to judgment. Read patiently, pencil in hand; Modern Painters still recalibrates the eye and conscience, providing a durable standard for criticism and a companion to the practice of seeing nature and art anew.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
