San Martín argues that Jaar's work represents decolonial time, exposing the limits of the violent systems we inhabit. His art, she maintains, is informed by and responds to two interconnected historical events relevant to his own life: the US-backed military coup that established Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile and the implementation around the world of the corollary neoliberal economic system. San Martín explores the key themes in Jaar's artistic practice--mourning, accountability, and failure--which situates the victims of the Chilean regime in a global context, directly confronts the architects of atrocity, and questions how ideas of diversity and inclusion have been co-opted by modern neoliberal discourses. \u003ci\u003eAlfredo Jaar\u003c\/i\u003e enables us to reimagine art history, offering a fresh paradigm with which to think about global contemporary art.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorencia San Martín is Assistant Professor of Art History at Lehigh University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Wolfgang Kaleck is the founder as well as general secretary for the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48757415215353,"sku":"9781478038788","price":59.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QtG1gIYVrJ9781478038788.webp?v=1785946491","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/alfredo-jaar-decolonial-time-and-the-aesthetics-of-the-unfinished-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
