These essays explore the allusive nexus of the dark in contemporary Mexican literature and visual culture. They chart the poetics of 'negrura-oscuridad' in creative media during decades of deepening crisis marked by the high-profile staging of atrocities and the re-emergence of an ironic noir aesthetic.

Seeks to configure the ways in which the interdisciplinary, the eclectic and the combinatory have served a strategic purpose in the development of a self-aware and identity-conscious visual discourse in Mexico, from the formative nineteenth century to the post-national 1990s.
