Bifurcaciones

Revista de estudios culturales urbanos – Worth learning Spanish for. The quality of material coming out of Chile and Argentina is peerless at the present time. Other key names include Buenos Aires journals such as Punto de Vista, and Prismas and writers such as Beatriz Sarlo and Adrián Gorelik and artists exhibited in the 2006 “La Normalidade”. From South America’s metropolitan vantage points, the knottings of postcolonialism, globalization and postmodern style are seen in an acutely political light, tempered by a sense of irony which enriches the analysis and a quality of humour and style which allows a broad readership to not reject, but appropriate these analyses as a form of auto-critique.

    There is a lot of material from LaNormalidad on the ExArgentina site:
    http://www.exargentina.org

    The LaNormalidad catalogue was recently published (printed in the recuperated press Chilavert). The first ExArgentina catalogue is called Pasos Para Huir del Trabajo al Hacer, from the 2004 exhibition at the Ludwing Museum with the same title. Both are excellent.

    here are some links to some of the collectives in Brazil and Argentina who had work in the show:

    BijaRi, interventionist, design, and VJ collective based in Sao Paulo
    http://www.bijari.com.br

    Frente 3 de Fevereiro, an anti-racist direct action and research collective in Sao Paulo.
    http://www.frente3defevereiro.com.br
    Frente recently published a book and DVD, both titled Zumbi Somos Nos.

    Colectivo Situaciones, a collective of sociologists who have a fantastic press called Tinta Limon.
    http://www.situaciones.org
    there are texts of theirs on this site translated into English and French

    Etcetera / The Internacional Errorista. Their members are from Argentina and Chile.

    Many thanks for the note about our Journal. However, I would to clarify two things: first, our sections of book and film reviews, interviews, classical essays and critical biographies are indeed peerless, but every work we have published on our article section has been peer reviewed; second, we don’t restrict our material to a specific geographical area. It is true, as you said, that we have published a great number of works by Chilean and Argentinean researchers, but we have also published works coming from Brasil, United States, Italy, U.K., Uruguay, Turkey, México and Spain. Hope you can update this information.

    Thanks again and congratulations for this great site.
