| Sumario: | "The first volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices and culture from Chile in the English language, Dismantling the Nation-State takes as its point of departure a radical criticism against the nation-state of Chile and its colonial, capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule, proposing otherwise forms of inhabiting, creating, and relating in a more fluid, contingent, ecocritical, feminist, caring, and decolonial world. The book contributes to a broad scholarly discussion around decolonial methodologies, including the acknowledgment of broad geographical epistemic locations. The authors attend to practices from distinct and distant locations in Chile-they decentralize their approach by discussing art and visual culture from the Atacama Desert to Araucani´a, from Tierra del Fuego to the Andean Region to Valparai´so, as well as beyond its modern borders. Analyzing how these practices refer to issues such as the environmental and cultural impact of extractivism, this volume also provides valuable insight for the fields of social science, Indigenous studies, and linguistics for Chile and other regions of the world, envisioning art history and visual culture from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective"--
