This article presents ideas about the function of the image, particularly in the fine arts, in the discourses on the current environmental crisis, determined by geological factors, which have a fundamental importance for the definition of the new epoch of the Anthropocene. Exemplified by an art installation in the University Museum of Sciences and Arts (MUCA, at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM), the visual strategies will be revised of how to present an alternative access to the understanding of the geomorphological destruction via the hyper-urbanization in the basin of Mexico City, i.e. the mega city and its agglomerations. The artistic geo-aesthetical intervention STRATUM, realized by artist Luis Carrera-Maul in summer/autumn of 2022, is an artificial landscape composed by ceramic and Styrofoam waste, as well as the cultivation of wild vegetation. The relation of these elements, as well as the support of the related disciplines, humanities and sciences, will be ...

The Cerro de Las Navajas Obsidian is a volcanic rock within the Comarca Minera UNESCO Global Geopark (Hidalgo, Mexico) that possesses outstanding archaeological, cultural and geological value. It exhibits a unique green-golden macroscopic hue and was exploited and traded since ca. 250 BC, by successive Mesoamerican cultures, and until early Colonial times—ultimately recording the transition to a steel-based society. The obsidian deposit is the largest of its kind (buried) and has the longest continuous history of mining in the continent. Other green obsidians have been studied in Patagonia (Seno Otway, Chile), source for hunter-gatherers, and in Anatolia (Bingöl, Turkey), source for the Neolithic Near East. We argue here the potential of the Cerro de Las Navajas Obsidian for a heritage designation to highlight its global significance; synergies derived from an international recognition may give the opportunity to (a) put in value the multi-dimensional geoheritage of this obsidian; (b) strengthen the sense of belonging among local community; (c) require authorities to regulate obsidian mining and commercialisation, under fair trade terms, and compatible with conservation, research and responsible tourism; (d) support further research on archaeology and cultural heritage, linking geosciences with other disciplines; and (e) contribute to UNESCO Global Geoparks programme, seeking local development and sustainability. These expected achievements would be relevant given the lack of legal advisory role of geoparks in geoheritage management in Mexico.

Ciudad Universitaria es un oasis verde de la zona metropolitana del Valle de Mexico. A vista de pajaro revela su caracter compesatorio en la megalopolos congestionada y contaminada. Experiencias terrestres, como las del peaton, ciclista o automovilista, confirman esa funcion ecologica y estetica: casi en nungun otro lugar se despliegan panoramas abiertos de un paisaje delicadamente compuesto y equilibrado entre espacios verdes y construcciones con valor escenografico-escultural.

El artículo toma la formación jurídica y estética del maestro Moyssén como pretexto para reflexionar sobre las exigencias actuales de una reforma profunda a los planes de estudio en historia del arte con un compromiso interdisciplinario. En el campo de la iconografía política ya existen modelos interdisciplinarios para una historia del arte convertida en ciencia de imágenes. Otras posibles relaciones de los estudios visuales, por ejemplo con las ciencias naturales o la criminología, desarrollan un perfil más completo y complejo en las futuras generaciones de historiadores del arte, que compiten en un restringido mercado de trabajo. En el proceso de redefinición interdisciplinario de la historia del arte, sirven como inspiración y modelo los conceptos de los hermanos Alexander y Wilhelm von Humboldt con su arte intelectual de relacionar diferentes tipos de informaciones y con su lucha por una academia abierta y no comercializada.

The square in the cities, over time , has been the urban space that gives meaning to the city and is a manifestation of community. According to Aldo Rossi, the city is the locus or site of collective memory and this, in turn, is linked to events and places. In this sense, the square is one of the primary elements of the most representative city urban structure. In classical and renaissance cities the plaza was the vital point, the space community that organized cities. In the fifteenth century, Vitruvius in his proposal radiocentric urban structure, designed the square as the center of the generator structure of the city. In the sixteenth century, urban criteria Felipe II, placed the main square as a structural element, geometric, vital and symbolic center; conception that changed in the nineteenth century, when new elements associated with production, appropriated the city transforming its structure and image.

Las imágenes aéreas del paisaje urbano y su medio complementario, la pintura o gráfica con motivos de la urbe, ofrecen introspecciones profundas sobre la condición de nuestro hábitat y su historia. Son ventanas que revelan principios estructurales de desarrollo, valores sociales y potenciales culturales de las ciudades; en nuestro caso, la megaciudad en la cuenca de México, reconfigurada profundamente a lo largo del siglo xx. Ambos géneros pictóricos, la fotografía aérea y la obra de arte, son construcciones visuales que muestran facetas de la historia y cultura de la ciudad.
