BODY POLYTICS

EDITORIAL

Políticas del cuerpo en la fotografía latinoamericana [Body politics in Latin American photography]

Marcelo Brodsky& Julio Pantoja. (Ed). (2009)

This book intends to present a new contribution from photography to the study of political performance. But what is this? Basically, it is “using your body” as a political fact; i.e. to cause your own body to show a collective interest to change.

I was part of a university extension project where the book’s design concept was put forward by a group of students. Such project promoted professional training based on theory and practice.
