本講座將以英文進行。
本次講座將以兩個主題進行，第一部分由身為攝影師、作者和記者的Raúl Gasque精選最具影響力的墨西哥當代攝影師及其作品作為介紹，並探究其超現代社會與政治現場的美學流變。第二部分則將評論這些作為當代運動平台的新媒體與網路：
- 第一主題將以兩個面向呈現墨西哥當代攝影。首要的面向為後現代主義時期的攝影師，次要面向則為超後現代主義時期（依據Gilles Lipovetsky的說法）的攝影師。在第一面向中主要討論與後現代主義有關的攝影師，如Graciela Iturbide（曾獲哈蘇攝影大師獎）、Enrique Metinides、Rodrigo Moya與Enrique Bosthelman，他們於舊意識形態瀕臨瓦解以及新墨西哥始及之際，提出如「我們是北美人還是拉丁美洲人？」這類型自我辨別的存在主義問題，並於美學與哲學層面以獨特方向引領著世代。
就超現代主義作切入去檢視時，墨西哥呈現著更複雜的景況：鄉村景觀被暴力的利刃入侵，都市社會則出現新式典範與挑戰。此時期所主宰的哲學流派是拉丁美洲式詮釋的超現代主義，在此將討論的代表作品是來自Ana Casas Broda、Maya Goded、Gerardo and Fernando Montiel Klint、Koral Carballo、Diego Moreno、José Espindola、Nadia Baram、Miguel Fernández De Castro、Arturo Soto、Adam Wiseman、Marcelo Prieto、Carlos León、Juan Carlos Coppel、Guillermo Serrano和Raúl Gasque。每個作品皆截然不同，但它們於社會與政治面向中展開了並行的凝聚。 - 第二個主題是針對反映即時流變的新媒體進行評論，探討其所呈現的新訓如何引領墨西哥導入新的方向。墨西哥當下的新社會正積極尋找可以反映新思維方式的場域媒體，如雜誌VICE Mexico、ERRR Magazine、Revista Codigo、La Tempestad與Falso Raccord等皆引領著新認知，以體現超現代國家須以新資訊型態及美學觀點來找尋答案。

Speaker: Raúl Gasque
In this talk—divided in 2 general topics—the Photographer, Writer and Journalist Raúl Gasque is going to explain and show the work of some of the most influential photographers immerse in the hypermodern social and political scene in Mexico. In a second topic Gasque is going to do a review of the new media and networks that are the platforms of this contemporary movement:
- This topic pretends to show the contemporary photography on Mexico dividing it on 2 sectors. The first sector is the photographers in the age of postmodernism and the second is the photographers in the age of hyperposmodernism (in terms of Gilles Lipovetsky). In the first sector there are authors that usually are related with postmodernism, photographers like Graciela Iturbide (Hasselblad price), Enrique Metinides, Rodrigo Moya and Enrique Bosthelman, they lead a generation with a special direction on philosophy and aesthetics, where ideology was getting to an end and a new Mexico it was going to start to ask to is self-different kind of existencalist questions like are we North Americans or Latin American´s?.
On Hyper modernism we find a more complex panorama in Mexico. The rural landscape gets invaded by a violent edge and the urban society start to emerge with new paradigms and challenges. The philosophy that reins in this period is a Latin-American interpretation of hyper modernism. The authors that we are going to see as a representative form of this period is the work of Ana Casas Broda, Maya Goded, Gerardo and Fernando Montiel Klint, Koral Carballo, Diego Moreno, José Espindola, Nadia Baram, Miguel Fernández De Castro, Arturo Soto, Adam Wiseman, Marcelo Prieto, Carlos León, Juan Carlos Coppel, Guillermo Serrano, Lizette Abraham and Raúl Gasque. All these works are really different from each other, but they find a parallel intercourse in the social and political themes. - The second topic is a review of the new media that reflects the changes and the information topics that runs in a new direction in Mexico. The new society in Mexico is looking for new places where they can find the reflection of a new way of thinking. Magazines like VICE Mexico, ERRR Magazine, Revista Codigo, La Tempestad and Falso Raccord, lead a new perception that shows a hypermodern country with the necessity to find answers in a new way of information and aesthetics panorama.
