INDIGENISMO AND THE LIMITS OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Abstract This article turns a critical eye on the indigenista movement that flourished in Latin America in the first half of the twentieth century, specifically as it relates to gender, race, and the visual arts. Beginning with a brief overview of the emergence of indigenismo in Mexico and the Andean region, it will move on to offer a comparative reading of the life and works of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–54) and the lesser-known Bolivian sculptor Marina Núñez del Prado (1910–95). Both women drew heavily from indigenous culture in their works and employed modes of self-fashioning rooted in performed indigeneity. As members of a cosmopolitan elite, Kahlo’s and Núñez del Prado’s engagements with indigenous culture can be framed as appropriative. However, what this article seeks to explore is the extent to which gender and location complicate our interpretation of the racial tensions at the heart of Latin American modernism.
期刊介绍:
Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, "theoretical humanities" represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture.
