Culturas visuales en México

A multidisciplinary group of academic researchers study the images used to see and represent Mexico through images left by the Mayas of the Late Post-classic Period, the 19th and 20th century graphic industry and the Mexican cinema of the first decade of the 20th century. "The project Visual Cultures in Mexico is promoted by a group of researchers assigned to the Academic Area of History and Anthropology of the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo (UAEH). Alberto Morales Damián, PhD in Mesoamerican Studies, UNAM, coordinator of Investigation and Postgraduates of the institute; Thelma Ana María Camacho Morfín, PhD in Art History, UNAM; Adriana Gómez Aiza, PhD in Discourse Analysis, University of Essex; and Manuel Jesús González Manrique, PhD in Art History, University of Granada, make up a rigorous and eclectic academic group that has promoted the Seminario Permanente de Culturas Visuales en México and annually organizes the Coloquio Internacional Imagen y Culturas in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the UAEH."
