Associate professor Gabriela Aceves-Sepúlveda launches new book
Associate professor Gabriela Aceves-Sep煤lveda launches book Switched On: The Dawn of Electronic Sound by Latin American Women.
Switched On is the first edited volume dedicated exclusively to the female protagonists of Latin American electronic music, edited by Luis Alvarado and Alejandra C谩rdenas, and published by Contingent Sounds Berlin.
The official history of 20th-century avant-garde electronic music has been predominantly narrated from the point of view of Anglo-American and Western European experiences and largely remained focused on its male protagonists. To destabilize this history, this editorial project presents a collection of perspectives, essays, interviews, archival photos, and work reviews centred on the early electronic music production by Latin American female creators who were active from the 1960s to the 1980s (Contingent Sounds, 2024).
In the chapter dedicated to Mexican composer Alicia Urreta Arroyo (1930s-1986), Aceves Sep煤lveda proposes to listen to the only photograph of Urreta found in the Mexican National Archives of Photography to "bring attention to her wide-ranging contributions to the history of sound in the arts and interrogate the gendered cultural, social, material, and disciplinary structures that have kept her contributions' out of focus." (Aceves Sep煤lveda, 176)
The books also includes contributions by L铆lian Campesato, Susan Campos Fonseca, Susana S谩nchez Carballo, Constanza Castagnet, Cristina Collazos, Daniela Fugellie, Isabelia Herrera, Nicole L鈥橦uillier, Alma Laprida, Marcela Perrone, Marcela Lucatelli, Ana Mar铆a Romano G., Adaivis Marr贸n P茅rez, Jacqueline Nova, Sof铆a Scheps, Madelline Sevilla, Natasha Tiniacos, Paola Torres N煤帽ez del Prado, and Gabi Yaya.
Orders for the book will start being shipped on March 10, 2024.
