She researches the entanglements between oil, politics, culture, and urban space, with particular interest in contemporary Venezuelan petro-politics and urban artivism. She is currently developing her doctoral research into a monograph titled \u003ci\u003eCulture as Renewable Oil. How Territory, Bureaucratic Power and Culture coalesce in the Venezuelan Petrostate\u003c\/i\u003e. The book unpacks the entanglements between oil energy, state power, urban space and culture, by looking at the Petro-socialist Venezuelan oil state as an exemplar case study. It sets out to challenge the disciplinary compartmentalisation of the analysis of the material and cultural effects of oil to demonstrate that within the extractive logic of the Petrostate, territory, oil, and culture become indivisible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dawn of the twenty-first century was accompanied by a turn to the Left for the Latin American state, heralded by the election of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. To date, no single book has assessed the manifold impacts that the politics of \u003ci\u003echavismo \u003c\/i\u003ehad on the cultural sphere. \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Culture in the Chávez Era\u003c\/i\u003e maps key shifts and trends in cultural policies and political cultures that accompanied Chávez’s four presidential terms (1999- 2013), situating these in the regional context of “Pink Tide” politics. The chapters in this ambitious, interdisciplinary volume offer a range of perspectives, from broad overviews of cultural and media policy, to close readings of varied aesthetic manifestations. Encompassing conventional cultural products, such as recent film and literature, as well as engagements with cultural imaginaries that play out in political protest, urban culture, and grassroots heritage projects, the authors examine how individual and collective imaginaries were negotiated and formed within, alongside or against the state with the advancement of the Bolivarian Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990314107109,"sku":"NP9781119531036","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119531036.jpg?v=1761787317","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-politics-of-culture-in-the-chavez-era-isbn-9781119531036","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
