  Social, economic, and political reforms following the Rvolution of 1910 in Mexico made the first part of the twentieth century a period when Europeans, North Americans and people from other areas of the world paid particular attention to Mexican art. This article reviews coverage on Mexico and Mexican art in the most important publication of art education at the time, "School Arts Magazine." The findings show that coverage of Mexico centered on folk craft and the work of rural and Indigenous populations, stemming in part from the post-revolutionary concept in Mexico of "Mexicanidad," the movement to develop a national identity based on the Indigenous roots of the country. It is also argued that the coverage derived from the idea of Mexico in the US imagination in which the country was associated with quaintness, the exotic, and the romantic.

  This invited presentation involved interpreting student artworks about gender through the lens of feminist new materialist theories. Growing out of science and feminism, new materialism involves the conception that, in the words of Stacy Alaimo and Susan Hekman, 'matter itself [is] lively or . . . exhibit[s] agency.' In new feminist materialist interpretations, the material aspects affecting people and systems, which has always grounded feminist discourses about gender, are theoretically integrated into our interpretation of nature, society, and subjectivity; into interpreting the material realities of our gendered lives. Art is particularly important to new materialist interpretations because, in addition to idea, it is usually grounded in objects, bodies, or images. People manipulate materials and they and others talk about the results. In an ungraded assignment, students in a non-art major, general education class were asked to culture jam an existing image from the media to comment upon gender. Images tended to show societal themes that recur in the media. The most popular theme in their productions was body image; others addressed traditional roles of women and men, the use of women’s bodies to advertise a product, or appeals to men through ideas of masculinity. Many of class members’ images became objects of interaction with capitalist society, suggesting 'material and discursive, real and ideological' consequences (Hekman, p. 124), and many showed how the student makers were interpellated into the narratives against which they were rebelling because, as noted by Judith Butler, the 'I' ahas no strategy of its own that is not also the strategy of a relation to a set of norms. Others rebelled against imposed conditions due to sex, race, size, economic status, and/or ability, placing them in a mangle different from that of a person who perceived, but had not experienced, material barriers.
