- Summary:
- This volume offers a psychoanalytic case study of the small city of Guanjuato in Mexico, using anthropomorphism as a means of providing insight into its past colonial traumas and present economic difficulties. Rodriguez (visual art, Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico) offers unique interpretations and examines the many facets of this fascinating and unruly locale using everything from cultural iconography to physical layout and economic topography to explain and psychoanalyze the city as a cohesive emotional persona. Topics include sex, desires, transference and a post-analysis look at a provincial Mexican city in recovery. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
