Louis Carlos Bernal: Monografía
A landmark survey of one of the most significant American photographers of the twentieth centuryBest known for his intimate portrayals of barrio communities of the Southwest United States, Louis Carlos Bernal made photographs in the late 1970s and 1980s that draw upon the resonance of Catholicism, Indigenous beliefs, and popular practices tied to the land. For Bernal, photography was a potent tool in affirming the value of individuals and communities who lacked visibility and agency. Working in both black and white and in color, he photographed the interiors of homes and their inhabitants, often presenting his subjects surrounded by the objects they lived with—framed portraits of family members, religious pictures and statuaries, small shrines festooned with flowers, and elements of contemporary popular culture. Bernal viewed these spaces as rich with personal, cultural, and spiritual meaning, and his unforgettable photographs express a vision of la vida cotidiana—everyday life—as a state of grace. The first major scholarly account of Bernal’s life and work by the esteemed historian Elizabeth Ferrer, Louis Carlos Bernal: Monografía is the definitive book about an essential photographic artist.Copublished by Aperture and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson

What It Doesn't Have to Do With
Lindsay Bernal’s What It Doesn’t Have to Do With explores through sculpture, painting, pornography, and performance art changing views on gender and sexuality. The elegiac meditations throughout this collection link the objectification of women in art and life to personal narratives of heartbreak, urban estrangement, and suicide. Haunted by the notions of femininity and domesticity, the protagonist struggles to define the self in shifting cultural landscapes. Ezra Pound, Louise Bourgeois, and Morrissey coexist within the unruly, feminist imagination of these poems. Through quick turns and juxtapositions, Lindsay Bernal navigates the paradoxical states of grief and love, alternating between vulnerability and irony, despair and humor. Her wry, contemporary voice confronts serious subjects with unpredictable wit.

Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Doña Marina und die hohe Kunst der Historiographie; Eine Umfeldanalyse der Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva España
Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts bringt der Soldat Bernal Díaz del Castillo die Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva España zu Papier. Anhand einer hermeneutisch orientierten Umfeldanalyse wird in dieser Arbeit gezeigt, wie er sich auf dem für ihn ungewohnten Terrain der Historiographie als Autor inszeniert. Ein Analysefokus liegt dabei auf den Textstellen über die indigene Dolmetscherin Doña Marina, da sich hier die textgestalterischen Bemühungen des Autors sehr gut nachvollziehen lassen. Diese sind nicht nur Indikator für seine Selbstinszenierung, sondern wirken zugleich kritischen gesellschaftlichen Umfeldern in Bezug auf Doña Marina entgegen. Das Analysemodell geht zurück auf die Umfeldtheorie Eugenio Coserius.

Bernal Story
For eight years, the San Francisco neighborhood of Bernal Heights was mired in controversy. Traditionally a working-class neighborhood known for political activism and attention to community concerns, Bernal housed a diverse population of Latino, Filipino, and European heritage. The branch library, beloved in the community, was being renovated, raising the issue of whether to restore or paint over a thirty-year-old mural on its exterior wall. To some of the residents the artwork represented their culture and their entitlement to live on the hill. To others, the mural blighted a beautiful building. To resolve this seemingly intractable conflict, area officials convened a mediation led by Roy, an experienced mediator and Bernal resident. The group, which reflected the wide range of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds in the community, ultimately came to a strong consensus, resulting in the reinterpretation of the artwork to reflect changing times and to honor the full population of the neighborhood. The Bernal Story recounts in detail how the process was designed, who took part, how the group of twelve community representatives came to a consensus, and how that agreement was carried into the larger community and implemented. Roy's firsthand account offers an essential tool for training community leaders and professional mediators, a valuable case history for use in sociology and conflict resolution courses, and a compelling narrative.
